Pros:

This product shows immedieate results(results within 1-3 days),It is worth the price(about $8 in Canada)lastly, If applied correctly it is virtually invisible.

Cons:

Although this product has many benefits it does dry out the skin and if applied to heavily(you put to much on)It leaves white residue which makes it diffcult to wear during the day as suggested.

The bottom line is if you have problem Acne, or blackheads you should definatly invest in this product, GET IT!! GET IT !! the side effects are minimal just buy a moisturizer that works the only thing you have to make sure of is you DO NOT USE IT WITH ANOTHER PRODUCT. I did that and I got a rash all over my face and i had to go 3 weeks with just using water on my face until it cleared up THEN i could start using it properly. BTW i used Clean & Clear Persa gel 5 because persa gel 10,10% bp, is considered a medication that needs to be perscribed by a dermotologist in Canada but w/e it still works just as effectively

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:

Easy to use. Cheap. And it works! The BP in this product has really gotten my acne under control. Barely no new zits since I frequently used this product. Only now I'm having to deal with the red marks that inevitably come after acne heals.

Cons:

Like others have pointed out, the BP tends to try the skin, so use with moisturizer. In my case, I find that a little goes a long way with this product. Just apply a bit see how it works for you.

All in all, I would recommend this product to anyone with moderate to slightly severe acne. For me, it has been the one anti-acne product that I have stuck with these last two years to keep my skin under control. I am at a point now that I only need to apply this two or three times a week to keep things clear. A word of caution though: If you plan on using this (or anything with BP), the main thing I found that is or utmost importance is to use the right type of moisturizer, and to apply it correctly (see Dan's vids). Dry skin will only aggravate acne, and so without the right type of moisturizer your use of this product will only be counter productive in your quest for clear skin.

Yes- this product dries out your skin. But- it is so worth it! This is the only thing I've used that really works! Well worth the money. It gets rid of acne fast and I was very satisfied with the product.

Pros:

less acne in general; less blackheads

Cons:

dries skin after the first couple of days, esp around mouth & chin area.. but i haven`t experienced that since the first week of using it

I have mild/moderate acne, & this product is probably the best thing i`ve ever tried ! believe me, i`ve tried everything from aspirin to retin-A. idk how it does on its own, considering i use a regimen that also consists of clearasil acne pads, some other clean & clear stuff in a purple tube and clean & clear morning burst, but this was the last thing i added to my regimen and it seems to be doing the most good ! i use it in the morning as well after i get home from school and at night before i go to sleep. it`s a really cheap product so i suggest giving it a try !

Pros:

Cleared up all my pimples within the first couple nights of using it. My skin was very smooth. The redness went away also. No new pimples have dared appeared.

Cons:

Dried skin out while using it but i found that if i put it on before bed and washed it off in the morning it worked just as when as made your skin less dry.

Use it!!!! It works!!!!!

A blessing in a tube
Hello everyone :-) every year I go thru a horrible break out due to the summer heat, I usually go to the doctor and get a prescription for this lotion called clindamycin tropical lotion. Tropical lotion saved my life repeatedly over the years. Unfortunately I was not able to get it this year due to me not having the same insurance and my doctor unwilling to give me a prescription even tho I had no problem paying for the over the counter price BUT WHATEVER. so I researched like crazy I used Briggs apple cider vinegar on my face for a week I noticed a difference but I needed something faster so I researched more and that's when I came across a blessing in a tube!!!! I wish I could show before and after pictures! The worst part of my break out literally went away within one week! Yes one week! I still see a couple of small bumps but they aren't extreme and I have faith that by next week they will be gone as well. I used a thick coat at night and a very thin layer in the day time. I strongly recommend this product. I'm actually gonna stock up on it so Ill be prepared for the next breakout next year lol hope this helps!! Peace, love and clear skin

Slow
Honestly, this is a good product but its not for me. This product removed my acne spots but the results were very slow. I had repurchased the product twice, but it never did the job as fast as I'd seen it work on others. I applied the cream on a couple of spots before they came, they still came however and were as big as ever despite my constant application of the cream. It also made my skin very dry, and caused my face to peel. I eventually gave up the product.
