Holy grail product!

Pros:

Clears pimples nicely
Inexpensive

Cons:

Can be drying
Kind of a small tube
Can leave residue if you use too much

I love this product. I only use it on my pimples, not on my whole face since my acne is under control a little more (BECAUSE OF THIS PRODUCT!). If you use it all over, it can be drying. Don't apply this more than recommended. It will cause dry patches. Anyway, this is the best stuff ever. I always have a tube of this in my drawer. I apply it about 2 or 3 times a day on my pimples. The size goes down greatly, and cysts look less inflamed when applied. This won't get rid of it overnight, but it'll surely help.

Works great!

Pros:

works quickly
affordable

Cons:

dries out skin
leaves residue

I've been using this for a few months and it works to dry up pimples. Only downfall is that is leaves a white residue on your skin so you have to be careful when using it during the day and leaving the house.

Pros:

Gets rid of breakouts fast

Cons:

Made skin dry and flaky and leaves behind a scar

I was recommended to use this product the night before i started college because i wanted to get rid of my acne fast. When i woke up the next morning most of the pimples had gone down in size. Overall i like the product just make sure you moisturize!

Pros:

Helps shrink big stubborn pimples
Not deathly over drying

Cons:

It's not a miracle product like these other people are describing.

I bought this flat out because of good reviews. I get stubborn pimples that generally don't have heads on them, so I needed something to help sink into the skin. This product helps, but it isn't a lifesaving cream. I notice that with large pimple, they naturally go away in 5 or so days. This stuff will cut it down to 2-3 if you apply morning and night. For the smaller pimples, it made no difference for me at least. They would go away naturally in 3ish days with or without. I'm giving this 3 stars instead of 2 though because it is good if you apply to a site where you feel something coming up. It will keep it from growing into a full blown painful zit.

Pros:

Drys out pimples
Clears alot of acne
Goes to work really fast

Cons:

Drys out your face but you can use a good moisturizer. I use clinique dramatically different lotion and then my face is fine.

The bottom line is that would totally reccomend this product. It is extremely effective and it saved my face before it got uncontrollable. Even though it dries out your face, thats kind of what it is supposed to do to get rid of acne.

Pros:

Kills the culprit
Puts swelling down after a couple uses
Affordable

Cons:

Drying
Purging of acne-very troubling to deal with that

This product IS INDEED WORTH IT. It did make my acne turn quite severe for a few weeks (purging), but I stuck with it! Stick with it however often your skin can handle it, because with Benzoyl Peroxide, using it for a couple weeks and stopping will anger and fluster your skin, resulting in even more pimples. The 10% Bezoyl Peroxide is the best ingredient to truly kill that acne bacteria. Be sure to use a moisturizer before putting a dab on the pimple(s). I typically dab this on at night after applying a good moisturizer since it is drying.

Pros:

It didn't make my pimple any worse and it's gone now after a few days.

Cons:

MY WHOLE FACE IS COVERED WITH LITTLE IRRITATION BUMPS! After the first two days of using Persa-Gel 10 on two or three spots, my whole face broke out in those little non-red bumps that don't hurt, but itch sometimes. I know I have sensitive skin, but for my whole face to break out????

It works, but this is a BIG "NO" FOR PEOPLE WITH SENSITIVE SKIN!

Pros:

Works great! This cleared up all of my acne.
The best acne clearing product ever!! Plus no one notices when you're wearing it.

Cons:

Besides leaving your skin a tad dry there's nothing wrong with it

Eliminated all of my acne within the course of a month. My acne was pretty awful and this took it all away. I regret not using this sooner! Definitely recommend this to people who have acne problems
