Pros:

well it's not a quick acting thing, takes like hours, over night use would be good, but it's only for ON THE SPOT ACNE, not a face wash or a face cream

Cons:

Can never prevent breakouts,

Average! 5/10 may or may not work! end of story...

Pros:

Available at every drugstore. Not terribly expensive.

Cons:

Smells funny. Doesn't 'melt' into skin well. Leaves an ichy white residue so it is really annoying to have to put lotion after and then makeup in the morning. Especially in the summer when it's about 90 degrees in DC and 100% humidity!

The white residue was uber not cool. I just bought Dan's BP and it is WAY better and I've only been using it for 2 days. The price is actually better because of the size. I use Vanicream bar of soap two times a day. I like it because it's cheap and very gentle. (About $2.85 at Target. You have to ask for it at the Pharmacy, behind the counter.) I use Dan's BP in the morning and at night. In the morning I use Garnier Noutrise SPF 15 lifting lotion and at night I use 10% glycolic alpha hydroxy brand after Dan's BP. It's only been two days but I already see wonderful results for the new BP. Being able to use BP in the morning (no more white residue from the Nuetrogena brand BP ) seems to be making a HUGE difference.

Pros:

-Helped with some acne

Cons:

-dried skin out like crazy
-uses benzoyl peroxide (free radical)

I'm 15, I have combination skin, and light-moderate acne. Benzoyl peroxide is just about the worst thing that you can put on your skin. You're skin actually can get addicted to it. I used to use it and when I stopped my skin freaked out, and it took 2 months to return to normal. Have you noticed how all the drugstore stuff has stopped using it and switched to salicylic acid? Benzoyl peroxide is and causes free radicals on your skin, which causes premature aging. I'd take these adolescent, temporary pimples over nasty wrinkles in my 20s any day.

Pros:

Slightly reduced the appearance of larger red zits.

Cons:

Very drying. Made me breakout. Doesn't vanish on contact. Expensive for such a small amount.

I had heard good stuff about this product for a long time. While I was in the States for a time, my stepmom convinved me to try it out. I was nervous, because my skin had cleared up a lot due to using Oxy Acne Vanishing Treament 2.5% BP. I was worried it would make my skin worse, but since I was nearly out of my Oxy and couldn't find it in the States, I bought this product and tried it out. BIG MISTAKE! It was incredibly drying, didn't vanish on my skin at all and smelt horrible. I recently switch back to me Oxy, which is slightly more expensive, and my skin has cleared up within just two days.

This is the worst spot treatment I've ever used, my skin is dry, red and irritated, and the pimples are still there, for me it did not work, now I have to wait probably months until my skin gets better
