Pros:

I had acne for a little while now, tried several products, none worked.. 'til I tried this one. It started working from the first application. I wake up having less every single morning. =)

Cons:

At first, everything was fine.
After a few days, it felt itchy.
Sometimes it burns. (happen to me 2 days)Now, my skin is extremely dry. (without moisturizer)

It's the best product I had ever used. I'm really happy with the improvements. Im almost acne-free =). And everyone around me notise differences everyday. Personal advice: DO NOT use this without a moisturizer. bottom line: I recommend it ALOT. but we dont all have the same skin type, so what works for me, might not work for you.

Pros:

It helps.

Cons:

Uncomfortable to sleep

I have severe acne. I use a very thick layer every night and rinse with clean and clear face wash. It definitely works better than anything else. I tried neutregena, clearsil,and none of them work better. I still have a lot of acne, but having severe acne this works the best. I use a thick layer so it makes me ugly and it is hard to sleep at night.

Pros:

I have noticed that it is helping my chin, which errupted with whiteheads about two weeks ago. I have very oily skin around my chin area and it doesn't seem to be having too much a drying effect on me.

Cons:

Its consistency is thicker than Clearsil Ultra Gel (10% BP).

BP has always had its place in treating my acne and this brand is effective.

Pros:

I love the product, I already see a difference and the pimples have gone down only after a few days.

Cons:

Dries your face if you dont use a moisturizer

Essentially, I used this product about a year ago and it worked no problem and kept me clear for about 8 months. All of a sudden it quit working and nothing would work, so I switched and kept switching items. I then went to the extreme and ordered proactiv (what a mistake that was!). My face broke out after a weeks use of that crap, apparently I wasn't the only one. After that I went back to this product and it does the trick everytime!!! I am so happy. I can now walk in confidence and not have to hide it! Especially being in the military does require you to be at your best.

Pros:

affordable & actually works .

Cons:

dries out skin & leaves white residue .

I just bought this product today and applied it about an hour ago after using the acne wash . my face feels alot better already although it was really dry but luckily the acne wash came with a oil-free moisturizer that made thinhs ALOT better . i am going to continue using this product along with the acne wash & moisturizer . - - i don't recommend using this if you have sensitive skin .

Pros:

Clears up breakouts very well. If you apply it on the night, in the morning 80% of the breakouts will fade

Cons:

Drying

It works and buy a moisturizer with it

Pros:

Clears up pimples within 2-3 days.

Cons:

Can dry the skin.

A staple product for anyone who is desperate to fight off acne. Due to the 10% concentration of benzoyl peroxide, however, it can be irritating or too drying for those with sensitive skin. It never hurts to give it a try, though.
