Pros:

Significantly reduced my 2 of my pimples in 1 day.

Cons:

Burned like hell! I haven't used BP in a long time and 10% probably wasn't the best way to start up again, but I used this stuff sparring on several trouble spots in the AM and PM, and my skin became extremely irritated and inflamed. I had to to take 3 days off my normal acne regimen to allow my skin to recover.

If your skin can handle the higher percentage and tolerate, the itching, burning, tingling of your skin, then this product is great. Also, it does reduce pimples significantly and eliminates scars.

Pros:

Heals acne FAST
prevents acne
No more scars!

Cons:

They don't make a gallon sized container.

This stuff saved my (social) life. I had pretty bad acne when I started using it as well as some scarring. I started applying in directly to pimples and got great results. Its just like it kills the zits and if you keep applying it, it will completely get rid of any mark or scar from it. I rub in a small amount over my usual acne locations then let it dry then I glob a spot of it on the actual pimples and let that dry before I go to bed. I now rarely get zits and when I do they are short lived. It does leave white marks on your face, but they're easily washed off with water in the morning. It's worth it, trust me.

Pros:

-clears up skin
-significantly dries up existing acne pimples overnight
-no white residue
-easy to apply

Cons:

-bleaches sheets and clothing

Thank God for this. I absolutely love this 10% benzoyl peroxide gel. Now, I purchased the CVS brand version of this product (it is exactly the same. Same ingredients and everything, just a little less expensive) but I imagine this Clear&Clear one to be the same. I never had anything work so well on my pimples. I use this every night GENEROUSLY, even on areas where I don't have any breakouts because the gel will prevent them from forming. Excellent as an all over face acne treament and as a spot treament. <3 you, BP 10% gel.

Pros:

Cheap and quick way to get rid and reduce acne

Cons:

It bleached my clothing and pillow case

Overall, I found this product to be amazing! Within days of my first application my acne started to clear up. Albeit, my skin isn't crystal clear, it has definitely done an excellent job in helping clear it up. It does have a tendency to leave a milky film after application; however, if you use this at night it shouldn't be a problem. My only problem with this product, is the bleaching of my clothing and pillow. Other than that, I can't complain. It did exactly what was expected!

Pros:

-Powerful, works fast!
-No scent
-Decreases redness and size of pimple overnight
-Doesn't sting

Cons:

-Not clear, can leave white residue
-Not very cheap for a spot treatment

This product is amazing! I've been breaking out with really bad acne ALL summer long. I haven't have a single break, a single day with a clear complexion in MONTHS. It really isn't something I'm used to. So when I bought this item, and woke up the next morning after using it I realized how much this is helping my acne. The blemishs on my forehead are no longer red and inflamed. They've calmed very much in 24 hrs. -It may be a bit drying, but I use a good moisturizer and I've had no flakiness!

Pros:

Works quickly and effectively

Cons:

Can't use this product in sunlight, drying

I use this as a night cream, I just put it all over my face. The thing is, I've been doing this for years now and my skin is so used to the product that it will not remove any acne- but it does however prevent acne. When I first started using this a while back, I remember instantly loving it! So, although it doesn't work so well for me now, if you've never used this, it should work for you. Note: when I started using this, my acne was moderate
