Pros:

One of the best, if not the best, products out there. rids acne fast!! prevents new acne from forming

Cons:

must use moisturizer, if you don't your skin will burn a few hours later. acne shows up if you stop using it

This is an amazing product. it clears face of a horrible breakout in about 3 days. but let me tell you something i learned the hard way; do not stop using!!! if you do, acne will come back, this time worse than before!!! luckily the product is so good of ridding breakouts that they went away. but i learned my lesson!!!!

Pros:

it works, minimizes size and redness

Cons:

you can't wear too much when you go out because you can tell by the white parts that stay on your face.

Use it. I put it on.. and every time I use it my pimples go down pretty well. Really works on me... and not much works for me, but I would recommend people try it. :)

Pros:

I love this product. My face is smooth, I don't remember having skin like this in years. I can feel confident that I will not wake up with a huge zit on my face, or feel down because my skin does not look like everyone else's. I will continue to use.

When a product does what it says, I have no complaints. Can be drying- use moisturizer, and a dab will do wonders.

Got rid of my repeating pimples all over my face, really fast and kept them away

Cons:

My skin was a little dry, but nothing a moisterizer can't fix :)

I've used over 10 products for my bad acne, and this is the only one that has ever worked. :)

Pros:

-works great, no bad smell, glides over face well

Cons:

-the tube could be bigger so it lasts longer

i have persa gel 5% and i have to say it works GREAT. i had been using proactiv repairing lotion(2.5%) for about 2 years. [i dont use the 3 steps just the lotion]. it worked okay but i just jusst scared to try a higher % or a diff. brand. just about a week ago i ran out of proactiv lotion and decided i was not going to buy it again because it was waaayyy to expensive and was ready for a change. i bought c&c persagel 5. after not having bp for a week since i ran out of proactiv my skin was getting bad and i ended up having a little 'picking spree' [horrible i know]. i thought i was going to have acne all over my face again for a couple week because of that. but i used pg5% that night and when i woke up nothing was imflamed or progressed into worse pimples since picking them. as a matter of fact it was as if my picking never happened and there were no reprocussions, my face was better than it was before my picking session and i was amazed. my skin is almost clear now! WOW

Pros:

I love this product. If applied regularly, it clears up zits within 4 days. More serious pimples take about a week to clear up.

Cons:

My skin did become a little dry, but nothing that a moisturizer can't fix.

This is definitely a product worth trying. Start with using it just at night. If you have a breakout, use it during the day as well.

Pros:

This product shows immedieate results(results within 1-3 days),It is worth the price(about $8 in Canada)lastly, If applied correctly it is virtually invisible.

Cons:

Although this product has many benefits it does dry out the skin and if applied to heavily(you put to much on)It leaves white residue which makes it diffcult to wear during the day as suggested.

The bottom line is if you have problem Acne, or blackheads you should definatly invest in this product, GET IT!! GET IT !! the side effects are minimal just buy a moisturizer that works the only thing you have to make sure of is you DO NOT USE IT WITH ANOTHER PRODUCT. I did that and I got a rash all over my face and i had to go 3 weeks with just using water on my face until it cleared up THEN i could start using it properly. BTW i used Clean & Clear Persa gel 5 because persa gel 10,10% bp, is considered a medication that needs to be perscribed by a dermotologist in Canada but w/e it still works just as effectively

Pros:

Incredible. I've got tons of both prescription and over the counter medications in the past and this is the only product that has started making a difference in my acne.

Cons:

Your skin does get very dry.

I heard it was a great product, but I've heard that about a lot of things butI gave it a try anyway. My acne has been pretty bad for about five years. I do/did wear make-up to cover it, which was not the best decision, but i hate going out in public with my acne. I have been using this for about a week now and I can tell a HUGE difference so far. Especially with the black heads on my nose. It has reduced those dramatically. I have naturally dry skin and this has made my skin very dry but all worth it if its working. I use this with - purpose bar for a cleanser - neutrogena pore refining toner - ponds dry skin cream as a moisturizer - and almay blemish healing foundation when I wear make-up. and this is the first time I have actually seen my acne start to go away.

Pros:

Gets rid of forming acne and existing acne. Lightens Scars. Really helps on giant under the skin zits.

Cons:

Drys out skin, as stated

It gets rid of basically all your acne, you may still have a few bumps but nothing completely gets rid of ALL your acne. I have moderate acne i used this before but when i started using epiduo i broke out with cystic zits I stopped that and started this got rid of my cystic zits in two days. There is no IB with this. I love it. You do need a moisturizer. I use cocoa butter and St. Ives vitamin E lotion.
