Pros:

Gets rid of those irritating pimples

Cons:

I was only using it for about two days and then my skin got super dry and flaky and it stayed like that for a whole week! Even when i used a moisturizer i could still see all the skin flakes it caused.

Works Well, but it makes your skin super dry and flaky

Pros:

shrinks and reduces redness of all of my acne.

Cons:

can be drying if used for a long time. Be sure to not get on sensitive areas such as eyes either accidentally or while using moisturizer. Can burn and make areas peal.

does what is says it does and the precautions on the tube/box are also accurate. good for all kinds of acne and probably better used only when needed due to the dryness.

Pros:

Effective tool, helping to both reduce acne immediately over night as well as preventing future breakouts.
Creates a high turnover of skin cells, which helps with the natrual smoothing of skin.

Cons:

Skin will become dry, especially in the colder winter months but a solid moisturizer, that is non-condegemic and light, will aid those worrying about suh an effect.

This is an extremely effective product, and I feel as though I should clear up some misuderstandings and misconceptions. Firstly, acne that you recieve in the second or third week of use, will often by acne that is inevitable and unpreventable, because of prior skin treatment. Secondly, the skin will more than likely experience ups and downs, but the skin will consistently be moving in a positive direction( less blemishes and issues). Thirdly, this product has no affect on acne scars. The blemish left by a declining pimpe may be mistaken as a "scar" but is merely a step in he healing process. This product will not create any new scars, but will help to prevent and settle the users skin.

Pros:

Works Fab and cheap

Cons:

None

I am 27 and used this product for a little while when I was a freshman in college and it worked well then. I stopped breaking out for years and then I swithed my birth control pills (TMI) and my face started to break out. I started using this product again and now my face is as smooth as a babies bottom. No bumps at all. Just apply twice a day and you are good. Best product on the market!

None

Cons:

Felt like my face was burning off and i only used a tiny bit on my chin and forehead. My face was red, swollen and irriated. Its been 5 days since i put it on ONE time and my face is still itching, dried out and feels like lizard skin its so rough.

I would not get this product EVER again.

Pros:

Quickly reduces pimples as long as you have it on

Cons:

Does not prevent new pimples

The first couple times it REALLY drys up your skin, but when your skin gets used to it dry skin will no longer be an issue. For best results, use over night.

Pros:

Shrinks the pimple quite a bit after an hour within applying it, and by the next morning my acne all over my face is pretty much gone. Helps with oily skin.

Cons:

MAY dry your skin out, it doesnt for me me, but i have very oily skin. Leaves a flaky patch when you wake up in the morning, but if you just wash your face, it'll be gone.

This is my "desert island" if anything is. Its my holy grail product and I would recommend it to anyone who hates acne! I'm 13 and i had pretty bad acne... Ive used Mario Bedescu, Dermalogica, Neutrogena, Zeno, Clean & Clear, and this is the one thing i'm always going back to!

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:

within 3 days of use, you can already see some dramatic changes on your face. works really well.

Cons:

burns/stings REALLY BAD. leaves residue while applying moisturizer. can dry out your skin.

on the first few days of your usage of this product, you may experience the side effects of BP. this includes redness, burning, itching, and drying. but don't get discouraged by these. it works really well. you just have to endure the pain on the first few days you use this product.
