Pros:

slightly reduced the pimples in which I put them on. Is VANISHING so you can wear it in the daytime if you'd like. Feels like it is working

Cons:

I bit runny, feels like you are using too much
drying and if used over too large of an area makes your face red and irritated. itchy. smells like a normal disgusting acne treatment

don't wear under thick makeup...can get flaky. not worth it...there are way better things

Pros:

Works pretty well

Cons:

Thick, white, sticky

I was using salicylic acid, which I thought would be less irritating for my skin than Benzoyl peroxide. I was wrong. Salicyclic acid made my skin red and irritated, I have been using the BP for four days (at night only) and I already see an improvement. Existing acne is healing and I haven't had a new breakout. I got one new blemish but it's already healing up and going away. My skin is no longer red but looks creamy, fresh, smooth, and even. So far so good.

Pros:

-2.5% BP
-Nice consistency
-Keeps my skin clear.

Cons:

-Can be irritating w/ first application. It made my skin itch and a bit red.
-Very small tube for the price.

It does a fairly good job at keeping my skin clear. I had several pimples emerge while I was using this, but Im placing the blame on my moisturizer. Because the tube is so small, I'm changing my bp treatment to DDF's 5% BP gel.

Works
A little on the sticky side. I recommend Dans acne.org BP better.

best acne treatment
I've tried every formulation of benzoyl peroxide acne medication available, but I must say dermalmd serum does work quickly. Rather than as a spot treatment, I use it all over my face, concentrating on problem areas. A couple of cystic bumps that would have been there for weeks are almost gone after 4 days of use! No excess dryness using once per day. Wondering if it's due to the inclusion of citric acid? Whatever the reason, I'm impressed so far.

Does what it says

Pros:

shrinks zits
affordable
prevents new forming acne :)

Cons:

Redness
Dryness
Not enough product (only 0.75 oz)

It does exactly what its says it does it helps clear skin just like in the regimen. It does make your skin red and irritated so it took me about 3 weeks to get used to it. Just be patient and find a really thick moisturizer to help with the side effects. I thought it helped a lot when i used a moisturizer with sunscreen in it after this because the white cast the sunscreen has helps tone down the redness. It also works very well as a spot treatment (which is the name) because it drys up the zit over night. Good luck :)

Pros:

reduces pimple size
works within a day, such as if you apply it at night, by the morning the pimple will be less inflammed

Cons:

after continous use, skin becomes irritated
balls up if you touch face after application

It does do the job, but when i was using it, it really bothered my skin and even after i took it off, my face would itch for the whole day. Maybe that was just me... for the most part it did reduce the pimple size. so now i only use it once in a while when i need it

Pros:

It reduces pimpes in gives you clearer skin in no time.

Cons:

It can dry out and irriate the skin. I would suggest to follow with neutrogena healthy defense daily moisturize with spf30.

I love this product!!! I've been fighting with adult acne for 6 years now. I went from beautiful clear skin as an teenager with one or two pimples here and there and as soon as I hit 28 years old all of sudden I suffer from blackheads and nasty pimples that has damage my skin and left behind tons of dark spots. I have tried just about everything on the market......absolutely nothing has given me the positive results this product has. I'm totally in love :-). I use it morning and night. I start off washing my face with biore blemish fighting ice cleanser (another product I can't leave with out) and then I apply the bp spot treatment. I quickly follow with a light moisturize to prevent flaking and reduce any irritation. I have oily/sensitive skin and these combinations have work for me. In less than a week I had noticeably clearer skin. My only regret found this product 6 years ago :-(. My next mission is tackling those nasty acne spots left behind through out my 6 year acne battle.

Pros:

So far, it is working really well! =) Dries out pimples, makes them GO AWAY!

Cons:

A little drying, but that's what it's suppose to do!

I've only used it about a week, but it has ALMOST cleared up my face. 1 zit doesn't turn into 10 anymore. =) Zits are less red, and almost gone. YAY.
