Pros:

I use the persa gel 5 (because 10% bp is considered a prescription in Canada) it worked on my cheek acne!! I tried everything spend 100 and 100 of dollars this is a miracle in a tube!!!

Cons:

dries the skin, NOT FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

If you have sensitive skin don't use this product.

Pros:

Quick and easy to use. Just dab some on at night and you're ready to go in the morning! This stuff really works if you're skin can handle it.

Cons:

Tends to dry out skin if you use to much and can leave a layer of white residue if you use to much.

This gel is more like a cream in my opinion and it works realllly well. If you use a small amount after washing your face in the morning you'll notice results by the end of the day. At night, wash your face again and add a little more cream and you're skin will be so much clearer by morning. I lovee lovee lovee this stuff! Its well worth the money!

Pros:

I promise you, if your skin can tolerate it, there is nothing more effective for fighting mild/moderate acne than this gel.

Cons:

It can dry out your skin and leave a white film if you apply too much. Start off with a low dosage. Use more at night when you are in private.

I have been to 2 dermatologists, and have been prescribed Duac, Retin-A, Differin, Doxycycline, exfoliators, etc, all for extended periods of time. Every time I was unsatisfied. For 2 years I have been struggling with acne, often embarrassed enough to stay in weekends when it got really bad. This stuff saved me.

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.

Pros:

Kills off nasty pustules and red spots. Dries out oil from the skin. Makes skin feel cleaner.

Cons:

Redness, Flakiness.

The side effects of the gel are preferable by far to the acne that it treats and can be managed with a moisturizer. For me, this 10% Benzoyl Peroxide gel is significantly more effective than the 2.5% concentration. It varies from person to person however and skin sensitivity must be taken into account. This gel cleared stubborn acne that I had for years. In the past, shaving has triggered my acne, so I use OXY shaving cream, which contains 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide.

Pros:

Clears up all types of acne including hard to get rid of blackheads and under the skin pimples in a very short amount of time(1 to 2 days). Works fairly well on current acne but especially well as a preventative treatment.

Cons:

As stated by most others, it does dry out your skin, but that is easily remedied by using a decent moisturizer and only using persa-gel once a week or so. *Not a product for sensative skin, test a small spot before use*

I have problematic combination skin. Overall this product works as advertised, is affordable, and the possible side effects are clearly labled. My skin care regime is St. Ives Apricot Scrub Gentle Formula, Dickinson's Witch Hazel Astringent, Persa-Gel 10 (once a week du to drying factor), and Alba Aloe & Green Tea Organic Moisturizer.I am 24 and for the first time since I hit puberty I have beautiful, smooth and healthy skin. Hope I helped!!!
