Pros:

Good for applying to small zits, absorbs well.

Cons:

Doesn't clear up spots any faster than just waiting for them to subside on their own.

Not a high enough concentration of BP for me, so this stuff didn't really work at all. Sometimes I put it on small zits, but I don't think it makes any difference.

Pros:

tightens up my skin so its not so greasy! i can get it at any drug store when i run out and it is just as good as the crap my derm gave me

Cons:

not a significant differance but its not worse

i am combining that with purpose cleansing bar and faces moisturizing sun block and cetephil moisturizer on the flakey spots. I also just started a series of smoothbeam treatments i just hope i am using the right products i have tries so many i just dont know what to do anymore

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:

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:

didn't dry my skin, can wear under moisturizer & makeup

Cons:

a little pricey for size, didn't work that well

i had been using a 10% bp product and it was drying my skin too much, so i wanted to try the acne.org lesser % bp product, but before spending too much money i went for the alternative on-the-spot cream at the drug store for a trial run. after switching i got some more big under-the-skin pimples and some whiteheads. didn't seem to be working enough. i switched back to 10% at night but do use it sometimes in the morning under moisturizer and makeup.

Pros:

works great

Cons:

feels sticky, gets clumpy, leaves residue, feels kind of heavy, expensive

It works great but, there are a few set backs. If you are using this product all over the face it will run out very soon and feels quite heavy and takes a couple of months to see a very noticable progress.

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!
