Pros:

IM NOT LYING (THIS STUFF WORKS!)

Cons:

it can and prolly will leave your face with white residue, so buy a a pack of makeup remover facial cloths (Clean & Clear brand preferably) to remove from face after about 10 minutes of allowing the medicine to prenetrate into the pores

If you want your acne gone, BUY IT! just use it every morning and night. NO LIE... ALL OF MY ACNE IS GONE.

Pros:

-Works well
-Relatively cheap
-Works quickly

Cons:

-It does dry out the skin a bit (with moisturizer though it is hardly noticeable)

This product works really well. However, unlike most people on here I use A LOT of it to make triple sure I don't get any acne. I use an amount from the middle crease on my pointer finger to the tip. I've noticed if I use too little it doesn't work as well. However, you need to be consistent with using this product otherwise your acne will come back within a few days of stopping. With continuous day and night use your face should be completely clear in about a week.

Pros:

Clears Up Acne
Prevents any new acne

Cons:

Dries out skin
Bleaches clothes

I am 27 years old and have had acne since I was 12. I have used everything imaginable from Clearisil, Neutrogena, ProActiv, etc. I even saw a dermatologist and it just got too expensive with all the medications they put me on. I finally stopped going and using Neutrogena which didn't work, then Clearisl products. Nothing seemed to work and I was becoming frustrated. I heard my favorite radio station talk about C&C, so I decided to go buy it. I used this product for the first time about a month ago and wanted to see how it would be once my "monthly breakout" came. I am almost done with that time and I only got two small pimples which is totally amazing to me. I use Neutrogena moisturizer every morning with this as it is super drying. I also use a regular cleansing bar instead of an acne wash as my skin would be overly dry when I used both.

Pros:

Works fast (overnight results)
Pimples look smaller
Doesn't sting and soothes your skin
Pimples disappear completely within 1 - 2 weeks
Really easy to remove

Cons:

Dries your skin sometimes

When I first bought it I think I might've used it the wrong way and i gave up :P but about a year after I purchased it I ran out of my usual acne spot treatment so I gave it a try I was so so so so happy with the results! I put it on whenever a pimple shows up and it makes my face feel really clean! I put it on at night and take it off in the morning because it dries quickly and turn to flakes that you can peel off your face easily. My pimples are usually gone or visibly smaller in a week.

Pros:

Works well on break outs. Put on pimples before bedtime and your pimple is almost gone when you wake up.

Cons:

After I started using this, I noticed most of the spots I treated left a red mark. So now when I dont wear make-up I have red spots on my face, especially on my cheeks.

I do recommend. I only recently started breaking out cause of stress (moving across provinces and planning my wedding) and this product has improved the sudden breakouts on my cheeks but you have to be consistent with putting it on pimples to help reduce size.

Pros:

Kills the culprit
Puts swelling down after a couple uses
Affordable

Cons:

Drying
Purging of acne-very troubling to deal with that

This product IS INDEED WORTH IT. It did make my acne turn quite severe for a few weeks (purging), but I stuck with it! Stick with it however often your skin can handle it, because with Benzoyl Peroxide, using it for a couple weeks and stopping will anger and fluster your skin, resulting in even more pimples. The 10% Bezoyl Peroxide is the best ingredient to truly kill that acne bacteria. Be sure to use a moisturizer before putting a dab on the pimple(s). I typically dab this on at night after applying a good moisturizer since it is drying.

Pros:

My acne is extremely severe and this is the first acne medication that is over the counter that actually works. Cleared my face completely and acne does not come back at all.

Cons:

None! This is the most amazing product I have ever used. Much better than prescription medication. Does not dry out my skin at all.

Everyone who has acne must try this product. You will not be disappointed.

Pros:

-Reduces redness/size of pimples
-Affordable & accessible

Cons:

-Can be drying

This should only be used for spot treating. It is too heavy duty for everyday acne prevention but it works amazingly to get rid of pesky spots. Be sure to use a moisturizer if using this product.

Pros:

Reduces size of large zits & cysts
Clears zits quickly when used as spot treatment
Prevents new acne pretty well when used all over as in the regimen
Goes in smoothly and easily
Absorbs quick with minimal white residue left behind

Cons:

Small tube
Somewhat drying, but not bad for being 10%
can't find the 5% or 2.5% anywhere but would like to try them...

Overall it works as good as any bp treatment. It is a gel which is nice, but only the 10% is widely available so I haven't been able to try the lower ones. Definitely does what it is suppose to do, just keep using it and remember, just because you keep getting some zits doesn't mean it isn't working. It will DEFINITELY reduce what you currently have if used as a spot treatment at first and help prevent new acne from forming if used consistently with the regimen as suggested.
