Pros:

It usually works well, and it does not irritate my skin. It helps to get rid of larger pimples.

Cons:

I still have breakouts frequently, although they are not as severe as they are without the bp. It dries out my skin if I don't use a moisturizer. It's also way too expensive.

It is not perfect, but it works better than other spot treatments. Though it will not cure acne, it will definatly reduce it.

Cons:

Pros:

cleared most of my pimples ,but not completely

Cons:

makes skin really dry especially if you apply it on the places you dont have acne

i used to have a whole bunch of acne on my forehead the color of my skin , and this cleared it up. i dont only use this i use a neutrogena cream cleanser and neutrogena oil eliminating astringent so those products might have helped to.

Pros:

Clears up existing pimples.

Cons:

Does NOT prevent breakouts, nor does it prevent future acne.

I've tried this product for about 3 weeks, and I have gotten more pimples that I've started out with! I've started small, and gradually used more, but I still breakout. What's worse is my acne was light before, and now its severe! The cream dries my skin very quickly, and it irritates my skin. Though it might be because I'm not using a proper moisturizer(mines irritates my skin when its mixed with Neutrogena). You can try this product and see how well it is. Personally, it'd help if you have 1-2 pimples, but certainly not many.I'm going to try Dan's products and see how well his does. RECOMMENDING ONLY FOR LIGHT PIMPLES!

Pros:

Convenient packaging, clears up existing acne

Cons:

Drys out skin, doesn't prevent new pimples

It worked for the first week or so...after that, my skin was a flaky mess with more pimples than I started with. It's not worth it!

Pros:

Does actually stop pimples in their tracks, and prevent them getting worst and bigger. Good for ridding of pimples fast.

Cons:

Does dry out skin, and because the product is benzoyl peroxide, scarring may occur. Also, may rid of existing pimples, but does not prevent new ones.

Perfect for people with occasional pimples, but not serious acne =(. Use sparingly, but definitely use on problematic pimples! If looking for something to rid of a pimple fast... On-The- Spot acne treatment is the way to go.

Pros:

Does speed up healing of a certain kind of pimple...

Cons:

Useless on certain pimples, and leaves a (minor) drying redness.

Not a miracle worker, but not a bad thing to have if you are somebody who gets the occasional medium sized pimple that you would like to see go. I would guess that it's no good for people with serious acne, and not very good for people who have mostly small whitehead problems.

Pros:

It didn't sting my skin badly or cause lots of redness like so many other acne medications have done.

Cons:

It is not an overnight product, when it comes to how quickly it clears up acnce. Also, I don't care for its scent.

This is one product that I really tried to stay faithful to but couldn't. I like that it had a lower percentage of benzoyl peroxide. However, 2.5% benzoyl peroxide is a slow worker and I just am a bigger fan of higher strength benzoyl peroxide products than this super lower low strength instead.
