Pros:

this product is AMAZING!
-clears acne overnight
-did NOT dry up my skin which is odd because the persa gel 5 did dry up my skin

Cons:

-is not available in canada

try it! I originally bought persa gel 5 because I live in Canada and we only have that here. But then I went on a trip to New York and decided to try persa gel 10. Persa gel 5 worked, but slowly. The first night i tried Persa gel 10, I saw a huge difference! I use: Clean & Clear Persa Gel 10 at night Wash my face with Clean & Clear Morning Burst (orange bottle) moisturize with Aveeno ultra calming moisturizer with spf 15 I've been doing this for about 3 days and have seen a HUGE improvement!

Pros:

Helps bring pimples that are deep in the skin to a head.
Works on face back and chest acne
Good for use on popped pimple
Doesn't sting
Helps remove acne and acne scars

Cons:

It can leave a white reside, but when used at night its not a problem

I am 15 years old and used to have moderate acne but with the help of this I would now say I have light acne. I am going to a school dance and when I was going dress shopping I noticed I had about 25 pimples on my chest. Every night I applied this stuff on my chest and face for a week. Now my skin is 80% clear!!! This stuff was my last resort to clear my acne so I look good for the dance and it worked :) I used it as a spot treatment on all my pimples including chest ones. It didn't bleach my shirt towels or sheets. It can be drying but the flakyness is what helps remove acne. If my face got really dry I would moisturize my face first then apply the treatment and in the morning use a wash cloth to get the dead skin off. Bottom line this stuff saved me

Pros:

Cheap and quick way to get rid and reduce acne

Cons:

It bleached my clothing and pillow case

Overall, I found this product to be amazing! Within days of my first application my acne started to clear up. Albeit, my skin isn't crystal clear, it has definitely done an excellent job in helping clear it up. It does have a tendency to leave a milky film after application; however, if you use this at night it shouldn't be a problem. My only problem with this product, is the bleaching of my clothing and pillow. Other than that, I can't complain. It did exactly what was expected!

FINALLY
The only negative part about this product is that it does dry out your skin really bad in the beginning. But exfoliating solves that. And I have very tan skin, this product dries white so it sometimes looked like I had white paint smudged on my face. Other than those two thing this product really works. Be persistent. It took me about 1 week to notice a difference. By week 3 others started noticing. Best acne medicine/treatment I've ever used.

Pros:

Easy to Apply
Works Fast
Cheap Price

Cons:

None

I used to have terrible acne on my cheeks. They were a lot of small bumps varying in size. I tried anti-bacterial soap, astringent every night, face wash, and other products but this was the only thing that helped me. Not only did it work well, but it worked FAST. It got rid of a years old problem in 2 weeks. Since the bumps were everywhere, I applied it all over. Just now they're starting to return, but in fewer numbers, but that's because of stress and medication. In the morning or later on in the day, I would get up and rinse off the dried product, and reapply it. If you really want this stuff to work, you have to be consistent. I wear makeup a lot, and Clean & Clear Persa Gel is the only thing that has kept my face clear.

Pros:

-Gets rid of acne fairly quickly
-You can use moisturizer to help with the dryness the gel causes
-Helps fade scars

Cons:

-Drys out your face

I went to my doctor to get treatment for my moderate acne. She prescribed me an antibiotic and recommended that I start using Persa Gel 10. She told me that there is no treatment to clear acne immediately but this gel would gradually clear my face up. I've used this gel for about 2 weeks, and my acne is almost completely gone and my scars are starting to fade! If you're struggling with acne, this is a great product, as long as you're willing to stick with it for a while.

Pros:

Works quickly and effectively

Cons:

Can't use this product in sunlight, drying

I use this as a night cream, I just put it all over my face. The thing is, I've been doing this for years now and my skin is so used to the product that it will not remove any acne- but it does however prevent acne. When I first started using this a while back, I remember instantly loving it! So, although it doesn't work so well for me now, if you've never used this, it should work for you. Note: when I started using this, my acne was moderate

Pros:

Didn't burn when I first applied it on my pimple, unlike the other products I've tried, worked immediately...for ME.

Cons:

None, I love this thing! And it was so cheap!

I've worked for so many companies that sell products for acne, I tried it all. Everything either burned my face, dried it out, or just didn't work. I only use this at night because it dries white. First I cleanse my face with my aveeno clear complexion cleanser, then I used my Clarins toner for oily/combo skin, then I apply my daily serum from clarins"multi-activ skin renewal"...zap on my clean and clear persa gel on my pimples and apply my aveen clear complexion moisturizer. The clarins products are very expensive but the other products were cheap. I've had acne since I was 14, I'm 22 now and I can happily say I'm acne free :)

Pros:

My acne is extremely severe and this is the first acne medication that is over the counter that actually works. Cleared my face completely and acne does not come back at all.

Cons:

None! This is the most amazing product I have ever used. Much better than prescription medication. Does not dry out my skin at all.

Everyone who has acne must try this product. You will not be disappointed.
