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

Pros:

-Gets rid of acne
-Removes redness
-Prevents future breakouts!
-Super FAST

Cons:

-Drying..but every product with benzoyl peroxide causes this.
-If you use too much, it can leave a white residue behind.

I'm not one to go on websites and review products unless they are spectacular. This product did it for me! At first I started using this product and my acne went completely away in a couple weeks. After a few months of use I decided to stop using the regimen and see what happens. After a week my acne came back with a few zits here and there, but enough to make my self-esteem plummet. I rushed back to this product and like magic, my acne went away after a few days of use. I am nineteen now and I guess I was not blessed with perfect skin or the ability to grow out of acne, but this product will definitely be with me until they find the miracle cure for acne.

Pros:

exfoliating,calming,clearing

Cons:

irritating the first 4 or 5 days

B.P. is the sh*t i put it on before bed after i have washed with a 2.5% salicylic acid wash, when i wake up the next day my skin is much calmer, and any little pimps are receeding, over the past few weeks i have even noticed my scars getting lighter. i hate my scars so i also use neutrogena helioplex spf70 my causes for my acne are extreme stress, oil, and bacteria i take zinc, and a b complex for internal stuff and benzoyl peroxide for the outside.

Pros:

-Reduces redness.
-Prevents breakouts (successfully!!)
-Dries clear if you put it on thin during the day
-Results in less than a week - almost less than one day for me!!
-Works EXTREMELY fast.

Cons:

It dries out your skin, obviously. What acne product doesn't? That's the way you get rid of pimples, anyway.
If you put on too much, it can leave this crusty white residue over the affected area.

I used to use Zapzyt, and I saw results from that after 2 weeks. But this, wow, it works in about 2 - 7 days! Fastest acne product ever! But, (Oh no, here comes the but!), it dries out your skin really easily. So, if you don't really want flaky skin, put a really thin layer on, but not too thin that it doesn't work! And over night, you can put clumps of it on, and that in the morning it will be fine. Bottom Line- I FREAKIN' LOVE IT!

Pros:

Cleared Acne quickly. Pimples decreased in size and redness overnight. Good size for price

Cons:

Drying to the skin. Leaves a white ash look on your face but a moisturizer will fix that.

It's a good effective product for clearing up acne. use if following your cleanser and then you HAVE to apply some moisturizer afterwards. its a must because its extremely drying.

Pros:

It didn't dry my skin out too much like most other products.

Cons:

It made my acne way worse.

I first started getting acne on my chin and nose when I was nine years old, so my mom got me this product. I used it consistently for about seven or eight months and it made my skin look and feel terrible. Eventually, acne spread all over my face and it is still there now. I'm thirteen now.

Pros:

Clears Acne, Affordable

Cons:

Dries Skin, Small quantity

I like this benzoyl peroxide, I made the switch from salicylic acid to BP before stumbling upon the regimen so I had this on hand when I started my regimen daily. I think I will make the switch to Acne.org treament since it's more for your money...

Pros:

well i guess there really aren't any.

Cons:

It made my whole face flaky. I have a very pale complexion, so it made my face really red. It looked like I got a sunburn.

It didnt do much. I have zits that are really deep in my skin with lots of post acne marks, it inflamed my skin and made my zits flaky and as a result, i didnt look too hot lol ;)

Pros:

brought my cystic acne to a white head to where it was easy to pop the next day. Completely gone by the 2nd day.

Cons:

none

Okay, I've seen a few reviews saying that it dries your skin out and it's hard to spread an even layer around their face, well try just putting it on the affected areas, not on your whole face. That could be your problem. I only put it on my pimples, and I put a pretty good amount, and in all honesty, that's the whole point of the product "drying lotion" is the nickname, it dries your pimples out, so to say it's a horrible product because it dries your face out, well there's your answer, don't slap it all over your face and think it's a moisturizer, because then you thought wrong! GREAT PRODUCT!!!!
