Pros:

Clears up some acne when used with clenser and toner

Cons:

Stops working if you skip one day, causes small bumps on face, disrupts bacteria and Ph of face and in winter dries out skin tremendously, very small bottle that didn't last long

This is not a miracle cure for acne even if you use it in a regimen. Those of us with hormonal acne still break out with it. Also, it gave my skin a lot of redness that, although would eventually fade, was annoying to deal with. Even though i used it faithfully, i would still always have new acne bumps to deal with, especially on my cheeks. It seemed to have upset the oil balance on my face. Now that i haven't used BP regimen in over a month, the agravatting pimples on my cheeks are gone, in their place are small milia on my forehead from the BP. I do not recommend this product because of it's potential health hazards. It is currently on the FDA's list of products that they have not evaulated as either safe or unsafe, due to studies that suggest BP is a tumor causing agent. Also, just to let everyone know, cosmetic/face care companies never have to have their products evaluated by FDA. So watch out and don't use BP more than you have to until its true effects are known.

Pros:

took away my white heads

Cons:

gave me a rash all over my face

i just had an allergic reaction but if you aren't sensative it's probably good because i haven't had a pimple since i started using it.

Pros:

I used this first when I started the CSR. It worked very well. It also made my face less greasy.

Cons:

It beaded up A LOT. Especially when using moisturizer. I had to use a wet washcloth to get the excess off.

It works if you don't have any of the CSR gel on hand, but watch out cuz it won't absorb all the way.
