Pros:

- Great for spot treatments
- Gets rid of those little pimples that aren't quite noticable but other acne products miss

Cons:

- Can be sort of messy I suppose? I put it on before bed so I just have to be careful not to rub it off.

I've always struggled with a stream of acne across my forheads and cheeks. I have TONS of freckles, so they camaflodge the acne. It's not noticable unless you run your fingers across my skin because they are very light pimples. However, this is something that just seemed to never go away no matter how hygenic I was. Luckily, I found out about this little treasure. I remember the morning after my first use I could already tell that nearly all my unnoticable acne was gone! I loved it! I used it on my larger pimples and while there was a redness for maybe two hours max after washing this product off, the redness was dramatically lower and the pimple was healing within hours of washing my face. I bought this at Target on sale. I'd recommend waiting for this to go on sale because I find that it frequently does. This bottle should last for quite some time if you are frugal about your use. Sidenote: I use this product before I go to bed as a spottreatment. I wash it off in th

Got rid of my repeating pimples all over my face, really fast and kept them away

Cons:

My skin was a little dry, but nothing a moisterizer can't fix :)

I've used over 10 products for my bad acne, and this is the only one that has ever worked. :)

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:

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!!!

Pros:

Rapidly eliminates pimples and prevents future pimples.

Cons:

Drying of the skin in the begining.

After my grandmother's death, we were all very busy and stressed. The night before the funeral, my sister looked at me and let me know that we needed to go to the store to buy a product. Mainly, my cheeks and foreheads had the most pimples. When we got to the store, we read the back of every product. When we got back to the house, I immediately applied the product and fell asleep watching television. The next morning, both my sister and I were amazed. I strongly recommend Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10, Maximum Strength.

Pros:

I love the product, I already see a difference and the pimples have gone down only after a few days.

Cons:

Dries your face if you dont use a moisturizer

Essentially, I used this product about a year ago and it worked no problem and kept me clear for about 8 months. All of a sudden it quit working and nothing would work, so I switched and kept switching items. I then went to the extreme and ordered proactiv (what a mistake that was!). My face broke out after a weeks use of that crap, apparently I wasn't the only one. After that I went back to this product and it does the trick everytime!!! I am so happy. I can now walk in confidence and not have to hide it! Especially being in the military does require you to be at your best.

Pros:

Clears up pimples within 2-3 days.

Cons:

Can dry the skin.

A staple product for anyone who is desperate to fight off acne. Due to the 10% concentration of benzoyl peroxide, however, it can be irritating or too drying for those with sensitive skin. It never hurts to give it a try, though.
