Pros:

holy crap burn my skin much??

Cons:

if you do not use BP regularily i highly recommend that you do not use this product. i got it last night and applied it to 3 areas on my face for a patch test and it literally burned my skin they are so red and hurt now this morning. only one days use.. thats ridiculous.

do not use 10% BP unless youve gradally built your skin up to this amount. trust me on this it did not even take away the pimple what a rip off. only made my skin all around the pimple bright red this sucks.. i really hope it goes away after tonight.

Pros:

none

Cons:

made my skin read and flaky for about a month and never helped my acne

I really had high hopes for this product. It left my skin red and flaky and even swollen! It was embarrassing and quite frankly painful as well. My brow lady even felt sorry for me and gave me free moisturizer. This never helped my acne.

Our faces are soo clean and flawless! dont waste your time on spot treatments!!

Pros:

None.

Cons:

-Cakes up
-Very drying
-May have been the cause of occasional cysts

I do not recommend this product. It seems to be a very low quality benzoyl peroxide. Prior to using Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10 I had only had one cyst and it had occurred years earlier. When I started using this bp I started to get two to three cysts per month. When I switched to a higher quality brand the cysts stopped. I ran out of the better brand and tried using Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10 for a few days while I waited for my new order to arrive. After four days I had a cyst. This is a single sample with no control so I can't draw any real conclusions, but there certainly is a correlation. Use a higher quality benzoyl peroxide.

Pros:

well i guess there really aren't any.

Cons:

It made my whole face flaky. I have a very pale complexion, so it made my face really red. It looked like I got a sunburn.

It didnt do much. I have zits that are really deep in my skin with lots of post acne marks, it inflamed my skin and made my zits flaky and as a result, i didnt look too hot lol ;)

Pros:

None for me.

Cons:

Dried out my skin very badly.
Its hard to spread a layer of this stuff around.
Irritates skin.
When it dries, it kinda looks like powder or something on your face.

This product contains 10% Benzoyl Peroxide which can really dry out the skin especially since its a very effective and powerful chemical. If you were gonna use something that contains Benzoyl Peroxide, I would recommend the Clean & Clear Advantage 3-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser. It contains only 5% Benzoyl Peroxide and is more gentle on the skin. But let me tell you that Benzoyl Peroxide is a little drying anyway. Its said that it does a great job of washing away excess oil and impurities. But no. I dont recommend the Persa-Gel.

Pros:

Cons:

Made me have a SEVERE allerigic reaction

I had a lot of pimples and I thought that buying this product would help me. I was hoping for results but the following morning when I woke up after putting just a little on my nose, forehead, and cheeks, my face blew up into SEVERE hives and the hives spread to my eyes so I could barely see! It was a HORRIBLE experience!! If you have VERY sensitive skin like me, please do not risk getting this horrible allergic reaction.
