Pros:

Gets ride of acne fast

Cons:

dries out skin but i only use it at night so i dont really care

My friend at camp told me to use this on my huge pimple on the forehead and told me to leave it on over night, so i did, and i woke up and the pimple was so small! After camp, I went and got my own and the directions confused me because it said use a sunscreen or something so I just did it the way my friend told me. Today, i got clean and clear oxygenated scrub er w.e and used that first and then put this on. I have a good idea that ill have a better looking face tomorrow :] bottom line: I love this stuff :]

Pros:

Clears acne.Well. 95% gone. What more could I ask for?

Cons:

Burns and itches and makes you want to touch yourface. It makes skin flaky, but if you hang in there, it subsides.Use in conjunction with Keihl's oil-free moisturizer. And get Murad face cleanser. Its the perfect combo.

I had moderate acne that left me with terrible scarring, and after $700 in products and no results, I was getting an appointment for expensive laser treatments. I grabbed this for $5 and not only does it work immediately, but it continues to work. Best $5 I ever spent. Considering the month before I went to Sephora, and spent $100 on the Murad kit.And the month before $70 on Boscia.Proactiv,AcneFree,Clearasil, Retin-A, Clearskin, Tazorac, and Zapzyt all didn't work.Don't waste your time.Good Luck!!

Pros:

Dries Out Acne Fast, Reduces Size And Redness
Stops Acne Recurring

Cons:

Not avaliable in Austrlia :(
Makes Skin flake/peel around chin, this maybe just from starting product

Amazing Product Clears Acne Works on marks aswell If Not available in your country, BUY ON EBAY, cheap as I found that using once a day (at night) is enough to make a difference and reduce flaking, Hopefully the flaking is just cause my skin isn't used to it yet.

After trying many different products I found Persa Gel 10 at Walmart and decided to get it. I have severe acne and this made a difference overnight. The next day all my pimples were smaller and less noticeable. After a few days most were completely gone. The only problem is it says to use it a few times a day, but is turns white when it dries so you can only use it at night. I did not have any problems with my face drying out.

Pros:

I used this product for most of college and it worked amazingly well. I had perfectly clear skin for 4 years.

It works best if you wash your face than apply heavily at night then not at all during the day.

Cons:

There aren't any that I remember except you have to use more than you expect.

I'm trying it again on my chin region. Works better than proactiv and is 10000000x cheaper.

Pros:

Kills zits

Cons:

Dries your face out

I had a zit developing, the kind you know you're gonna have to live with for weeks in disgust... I got the 5% kind of this cream, put it on that night (after using a cleanser) and some moisturizer, the next day it was gone! Gone I tell you! Didn't really help with blackheads, whiteheads or acne scars though.

This plus differin cured my acne!
I am 25 and have had moderate acne for years. I use this product with differin and only apply it at night. I stopped using facial cleansers and just let the water hit my face in the shower occasionally. This combination has cleared all my acne. I have to make sure I don't miss a day because I can guarantee I will see a pimple three days after the day I missed. Wonderful product.
