Pros:

Will dry out small pimples virtually overnight

Cons:

This is personal experience, but I used this product once a day for a week and my face started getting red patches and skin started severely peeling and itching. Reduced application to once every other day but still no change, extreme dryness.

When I used this product on my skin it didn't agree with me, but that not saying it doesn't work. I think I'm just sensitive to high doses of benzoyl peroxide because even when using a moisturizer it didn't help with the redness and itching. I reduced usage to just being a spot treatment but still the redness and irritation continued, switched to a 2.5% bp treatment and that worked for me. So if you're not sensitive to the product it may work for you, but if you start getting redness and severe peeling I would discontinue usage because you may be sensitive to the product. I guess you never really know until you try.

Pros:

Nothing really

Cons:

Makes small zits bigger

I think that it may be too highly concentrated in benzoyl peroxide that it irritates my skin a little too much. I put it on a small zit that was forming and now it's huge haha. It sucks. I'll be sure not to use this stuff anymore. It's all good it wasn't expensive. Maybe this stuff just isn't for me.

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:

Cleans up acne very well, pimples are few and far between. Goes on easy and blends in quickly. Only one step so it is very convenient, takes about 15 seconds to use.

Cons:

Dries skin mildly, can easily be fixed with a light moisturizer. I noticed that it stung and irritated the skin when used after shaving, but I've noticed that with other skin products too. If you shave just give it a few hours before use.

Awesome. Obviously worth the five or six dollars to purchase. It does dry the skin a bit but a light moisturizer will do the trick, and as I said above, the only thing to avoid is using the product after shaving. I've had mild to moderate acne for about five years, and in that time my skin has never looked better than it has in the last month. I've had no bad pimples and only two very small ones, and with good facial cleansing and consistent use of the product twice a day, even these can be eliminated. All in all a great product.

Pros:

It seem to work really well i've used benzoyl peroxcide before in Benzaclin(?) but i didn't want to get that again. I bought the Wal-Mart Brand and it seems good so far i've only used last night this morning and just now when i got home from school:)

Cons:

none so far but i'm expceting it to dry my skin out alittle but that's okay my moisturizer will fix that :-)

I think it works really good :-) better that the salicylic acid spot treatment:-)

Pros:

Cleared up my acne really well.

Cons:

Sometimes it burns a little but not much. And you have to remember to put on sunscreen before going outside when you use this product.

This product is great. I never really breakout much but when i do it's awful. I got this product and it cleared my skin like within a day. I got mine at a high end cosmetics store so it was kinda expensive but you can find it cheaper.

Pros:

Dries up the zit

Cons:

Dries up the skin, doesn't really work for me.

Everyone says it works for them, but it hasn't done anything for me. It's probably my skin type, my sister uses it and it works for her.

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.
