This is the only product I have found that really does work. Most people say you only need to use it for pimples, but I use it on zits too. I put it pretty much all over my face. Your face will sometimes feel a little dry after using this. There are a few things that I don't like about this product. One is the fact that it is somewhat hard to remove. I find the easiest thing is to apply it at night. In the morning, take a shower and it will easily come off. The second thing is it has bleached towels and sheets/pillows. I can't buy any new towels or sheets, because they will just get ruined. Despite these two things, I would definitely recommend this product, because it works unlike a lot of other acne medications out there.

BEST COUNTER PRODUCT FOR ACNE!
If you want to get rid of redness, acne, pimples, and dark spots/scars, this product is the "one" to use! I've discovered this product last summer, and it has been helping me keep my skin clear ever since!! I would not recommend this to people who have sensitive/extremely sensitive skin as the concentration of BP is pretty high (10%). You can apply this everyday, if your skin is normal (not too sensitive). It can work miracles overnight..GOSH it's a must have product..if you are suffering from acne/pimples.

Pros:

Cheap, matte consistency, works great!

Cons:

Nothing at all

I have fairly good skin that's a little shiny sometimes but generally i don't have acne. However around my period I usually get one huge pimple that refuses to disappear for over a week! This stuff is amazing in the way that it dries up the pimple and makes it so easy and efficient to pop ( the right way, with the hot water and compress and sterilized needle and everything) a few days of putting this on at night and any pimple no matter how big or Small will be ready to pop with a perfect white head. Put on a little neosporin afterwards and it's healed in two days! Amazing loved this stuff as a spot treatment and don't plan to ever use another product again! I used to use tea tree oil but this stuff is so much better

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:

Cleared Acne quickly. Pimples decreased in size and redness overnight. Good size for price

Cons:

Drying to the skin. Leaves a white ash look on your face but a moisturizer will fix that.

It's a good effective product for clearing up acne. use if following your cleanser and then you HAVE to apply some moisturizer afterwards. its a must because its extremely drying.

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.

Pros:

It clears up acne so quickly!

Cons:

It can dry skin, and you have to be really religious with this product.

I used this product for about two days and immediately I saw results. I was very satisfied and my skin was really clear. I was confident enough to start taking pictures of myself and go out more -- I wasn't so insecure. The only problem I had was how often you have to use it and you have to be really dedicated to it. Not using it for just a day can cause a lot of problems. The dry skin really wasn't a problem; oil-free moisturizers are a good troubleshooter.
