Pros:

Clearing up the pimples!

Cons:

Working a lil slower than id like. Thankfully my face isnt drying out too much like it has to the other ppl who left reviews.

For the price its worth a try! I have not been using it too long but I wanted to leave feeback cuz Ive spent WAY more money on products that didnt show results as well as this pproduct does.

Pros:

makes pimples go away faster, reduces redness.

Cons:

doesn't prevent new ones, first few times it dries out skin very much, but then skin gets used to it. can't use when wearing makeup or your face looks like a dried up lake.

works better than any other over the counter acne medications and even better than most doctor prescribed stuff (and way better than friggin proactive, which is a major rip-off).

just another BP that will stop working
Thick, cakey, crusty, makes your acne resistant while burning through the heads of your lesions

Warning! - Persa-Gel 10 is Strong Medicine. Apply sparingly.
I have used Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10 for over a decade for occasional acne flare ups. Apply Persa-Gel 10 sparingly and don't apply to sensitive parts of your face. I liberally applied this medicine to my chin this past Friday in an effort to slow down an acne breakout. Well I put too much on because I chemically burned my chin. It took 4 days for my chin to finally heal by applying Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer to it 3 to 4 times a day. If you have sensitive skin test spot areas with only a little of the product or just use Persa-Gel 5 which is less harsh. I will continue to use PG10 but only on less sensitive parts of my face.

Pros:

Has 10% Benzoyl Peroxide
Is easy to apply to the skin
Clears up acne pretty well
Great if you have bad acne or if you have really oily skin

Cons:

Can be drying if you use too much of it all of the time

Is great overall if you have moderate acne or really oily skin. Helps to minimize zits quickly. I wouldn't recommend it if you have very sensitive skin, but you could try it as a spot treatment. And as always with every acne spot treatment, MOISTURIZE!!!

Pros:

Clears acne fast
Leaves skin smooth
Works great for a cheap price

Cons:

Dries skin out

Just started using it and noticed a big difference. Even though it dries skin out, it gets rid of unwanted acne.

Pros:

Dries out pimples fast
Smoothes skin

Cons:

Dry, red skin

This stuff is great, works amazingly well, flattens and dries out pimples, only downside is the redness sometimes and dry skin, but a really great moisturizer will help with that, you will see results overnight! I'm not joking!

Pros:

Works fast (overnight results)
Pimples look smaller
Doesn't sting and soothes your skin
Pimples disappear completely within 1 - 2 weeks
Really easy to remove

Cons:

Dries your skin sometimes

When I first bought it I think I might've used it the wrong way and i gave up :P but about a year after I purchased it I ran out of my usual acne spot treatment so I gave it a try I was so so so so happy with the results! I put it on whenever a pimple shows up and it makes my face feel really clean! I put it on at night and take it off in the morning because it dries quickly and turn to flakes that you can peel off your face easily. My pimples are usually gone or visibly smaller in a week.

Pros:

clears up skin dramatically!
clears up all kinds of acne
doesnt sting at all

Cons:

may take a bit longer to start working on some skin types.
the smell may bother some (basic lotion/cream smell)

This product is amazing! I had a REALLY BAD breakout during exams and it cleared all of the acne up in about 3-4 days. I would recommend this product to anyone! I use it every night to make sure my skin is clear.

Pros:

doesn't sting

Cons:

it doesn't work on my skin. After i was told to take a break from accutane, i used this product on areas where pimples were about to form. I put it on the areas everyday kept my face clean and the next week the pimple came out

It actually only worked on one of my pimples. I have this huge one. it reduces the size pretty quickly...but i still have the pimple and it fills up and gets big again and it has been this cycle of reducing it then it getting big again by itself for two weeks now
