Pros:

Works well and works fast.

Cons:

Burns a bit and leaves your skin a bot pink for the first few minutes that you put it on.

I trid the 5% version and fell in love. I have VERY MILD acne, I'm almost completley clear, but I needed something to treat those pesky little pimples that I get every so often. This goes on very nicely and doesn't ball up with my moisturizer (Dove Essential Nutrients Night Cream). My skin is glowing and soft.

Pros:

Great for treating persistent body acne.

Cons:

Smells horrible, bleaches hair and clothes.

For body acne, I recommend washing affected areas with a gentle soap-free cleanser, then applying a layer of Persa-Gel to the entire area before bed. I don't use this stuff on my face, too irritating. BP actually kills the bacteria that cause acne, so it's a great treatment to clear up skin. Persa-Gel is also a good spot treater for individual zits.

Pros:

It clears up breakouts fast.

Cons:

Its WAY too drying. After the first few days, I couldn't get it to absorb into my skin and my skin was flaking, peeling, red, and irratated.

I wouldn't recommend this product. I used it for about a week and then switched to Clearasil Ultra Vanishing Cream (also 10%bp) and that has worked much better. Its much less drying and absorbs easier.

Pros:

Cleared up all my pimples within the first couple nights of using it. My skin was very smooth. The redness went away also. No new pimples have dared appeared.

Cons:

Dried skin out while using it but i found that if i put it on before bed and washed it off in the morning it worked just as when as made your skin less dry.

Use it!!!! It works!!!!!

This is a great product for acne proned skin. I've been using it for years and it works. I suggest wearing a moisturizer and if you go outside, WEAR SUNSCREEN!!!!! This is very important because it can reverse the effects and can damage your skin if your in the sun too long. Also, use a thin layer all over your face to get the best results.
