Pros:

Reduces Pimple Size
Good for cystic acne or nodule

Cons:

Doesn't prevent acne
Very Drying

This product is good and reducing pimple size, but does not completely get rid of the pimple! It's very very VERY drying and it tends to itch, it doesn't dry clear so only use it at night. I would only use it as a spot treatment though not for your whole face.

Pros:

Large pimples became smaller

Cons:

Doesn't help get rid of acne.

Don't waste your money just another product that doesn't work! I will make your acne slightly smaller but doesn't get rid of it. Than over time it gets used to your skin and doesn't help at all..

Pros:

Dries out pimples fast.
Inexpensive.

Cons:

Doesn't completely rid acne.

This product works really well. I usually use this when I get REALLY bad pimples all over my face, and I just put it on before bed and the next morning most of the zits are way smaller. It never completely got rid of my acne though, but it's a great spot treatment. I got it at Wal Mart for only 5 bucks so it's not expensive either =] I would definately reccomend this product if you are looking for a good spot treatment.

Pros:

This stuff works and works quickly.

Cons:

If you have sensitive skin, it will probably dry your skin out for the first few days/week. Be sure to use a good moisturizer with it and you should be fine :)

I am 26 and have been strugglling with acne since I was 15. I have seriously tried EVERYTHING and for a while had my acne under control, but made the mistake of using the Murad acne system towards the beginning of the year and it made my acne 100 times worse. (Do yourself a favor and avoid that stuff like the plague!!!) I was on antibiotics for a while after the Murad disaster and they helped but once I got off of them my acne started coming back. I purchased the Persa gel along with Clean and Clear Continuous Control Acne Cleanser and use them both like clockwork morning and night followed by CeraVe facial moisturizer. Bottom line is my skin looks good for the first time in a while. It was a little irritating at first, but well worth it. Just be sure to always use a moisturizer after applying the Persa-Gel. I have spent so much money on different products and was amazed that this inexpensive stuff from the drugstore worked so much better than anything else I have tried. I know everyone's skin is different and this may not work for you, but if it can help just one person this post is worth it :) Good luck!

Pros:

cheap/not prescriptions
WORKS so much better than cleanser/sal. acid
makes pores smaller

Cons:

none

I used to use Tazorac but it made my pores HUGE permanently. So sad, because it worked otherwise. This works almost as well and is helping to shrink my gross large pores. Also, you dont need to waste time getting a prescription. I use the 5% because I'm in Canada, I think it's just as effective. I had moderate acne.

Pros:

this product is AMAZING!
-clears acne overnight
-did NOT dry up my skin which is odd because the persa gel 5 did dry up my skin

Cons:

-is not available in canada

try it! I originally bought persa gel 5 because I live in Canada and we only have that here. But then I went on a trip to New York and decided to try persa gel 10. Persa gel 5 worked, but slowly. The first night i tried Persa gel 10, I saw a huge difference! I use: Clean & Clear Persa Gel 10 at night Wash my face with Clean & Clear Morning Burst (orange bottle) moisturize with Aveeno ultra calming moisturizer with spf 15 I've been doing this for about 3 days and have seen a HUGE improvement!

This stuff works on the first day you buy it and it's gentle too

NONE :)

Buy this product because it works on the first day you try it so your acne would most likely be gone on the first week you buy it just like my experience!!!!! <3

Works wonderful apply after showering and wipe of in the morning, smooth. Pricy yes, but worth every penny!! Can't wait for the wedding!
