Pros:

dirt Cheap& works surprisingly well.

Cons:

May dry up skin

I've used tazorac,retin a,proactiv,neutrogena, with ok results.Just started using this 3 wks ago & my pimples are gone. I have mild to moderate acne. i use purpose cleanser,cetaphil lotion and purpose suncreen spf15, best combination of products. works wonders for me. this bp gel is unscented,leaves skin a litle white. I apply cetaphil lotion around the corners of my mouth,nose,eyes bfore applying bp,to reduce dryness and redness. works very well. I'm psyched about this hope it continues to work for me as my skin tends to get use to meds quickly. i'll update in 2 months.

Pros:

- Dries out pimples FAST

Cons:

Maybe a little drying if overused, but other than that NONE

Buy it. Ive tried other products, proactiv ect and they didnt work! This is the only spot treatment that has worked for me for years :)

Pros:

I was getting clusters of red bumps on my face in different spots... i used this product yesterday night on only one spot to test it and woke up this morning with nothing on that spot. It's really good...

Cons:

it does dry the skin a little but it's no big deal once i used a moisturiser.

this product worked well for me. it works fast!

Pros:

Prevents acne; spreads less easily than other BPO products, so it only goes to the place where you apply it; didn't give me side effects (perhaps because my skin was already accostumed to the BPO)

Cons:

Doesn't eliminate existing zits (isn't a spot treatment)

Benzoyl peroxide, at least for me, is a miracle cure for acne. When I'm using it, new pimples don't form. Persa-gel is fragrance-free, unlike some smelly BPO products, and I like its consistency because it doesn't spread so easily. Also, it absorbs quickly.

Pros:

The best and fastest treatment for my acne that i have ever used! I've tried many things like doxycyclin, erythromycin, retin-a micro, stridex, clean and clear advantage, BUT THIS BEATS THEM ALL. EVEN WORKED BETTER THAN TEA TREE OIL!

Cons:

It can darken the area around the pimple you apply it on, but it peels off in a matter of days. It does not scar! i reapeat, does not scar.

This is the best five dollars i have ever spent. I have ocassional cystic acne and i put a dab of this on a huge one and wake up to DRAMATIC results. Please don't over use this though. I have tough skin but my brother doesn't so when he loads it up like i do, it makes him red for thirty minutes. Strange thing is that i have used other BP gels and i thought that this wouldn't be any different, but it was! much better than anything I've used! And i have used EVERYTHING. Jojoba oil, tea tree, you name it. This along with drinking lemonade for a week will clear you up in no time.

Pros:

Reduced pimples, acne within a few days

Cons:

Drys skin if too much is used

Pros:

Gets rid of forming acne and existing acne. Lightens Scars. Really helps on giant under the skin zits.

Cons:

Drys out skin, as stated

It gets rid of basically all your acne, you may still have a few bumps but nothing completely gets rid of ALL your acne. I have moderate acne i used this before but when i started using epiduo i broke out with cystic zits I stopped that and started this got rid of my cystic zits in two days. There is no IB with this. I love it. You do need a moisturizer. I use cocoa butter and St. Ives vitamin E lotion.

if you use too much it drys your skin a little. nothing too severe.

September 26, 2008

Pros:

Works quickly, no smell, clears up skin

Cons:

Dries out skin a lot. Even with moisturizer, my skin looked a little scaly

I broke out and reached the lowest point of my skin quality. I was so incredibly depressed and I didn't even want to talk to people and I'd cover up my mouth when I spoke so people wouldn't look at my chin. I started using this and within 2 days I saw results; the pimples were slowly fading away. Within a week, my skin was noticeably smoother with very few bumps. It dried out my skin like crazy, but my skin became a little used to its drying nature, so it's not as bad anymore. Just try it- you have asolutely nothing to lose!
