Pros:

Large pimples became smaller

Cons:

Doesn't help get rid of acne.

Don't waste your money just another product that doesn't work! I will make your acne slightly smaller but doesn't get rid of it. Than over time it gets used to your skin and doesn't help at all..

Pros:

Significantly reduced my 2 of my pimples in 1 day.

Cons:

Burned like hell! I haven't used BP in a long time and 10% probably wasn't the best way to start up again, but I used this stuff sparring on several trouble spots in the AM and PM, and my skin became extremely irritated and inflamed. I had to to take 3 days off my normal acne regimen to allow my skin to recover.

If your skin can handle the higher percentage and tolerate, the itching, burning, tingling of your skin, then this product is great. Also, it does reduce pimples significantly and eliminates scars.

Pros:

It didn't dry my skin out too much like most other products.

Cons:

It made my acne way worse.

I first started getting acne on my chin and nose when I was nine years old, so my mom got me this product. I used it consistently for about seven or eight months and it made my skin look and feel terrible. Eventually, acne spread all over my face and it is still there now. I'm thirteen now.

Pros:

It didn't make my pimple any worse and it's gone now after a few days.

Cons:

MY WHOLE FACE IS COVERED WITH LITTLE IRRITATION BUMPS! After the first two days of using Persa-Gel 10 on two or three spots, my whole face broke out in those little non-red bumps that don't hurt, but itch sometimes. I know I have sensitive skin, but for my whole face to break out????

It works, but this is a BIG "NO" FOR PEOPLE WITH SENSITIVE SKIN!

Pros:

None

Cons:

causes redness and itching when I woke up the next morning it affected my cheeks but does not improve my skin in anyway when apply elsewhere.

I used this product for one week straight trying to get rid of my pimples but doesnt work until I apply it on my cheeks the redness starts to appear. This product really stinks. Sad to say is I used to be a fan of clean and clear until I used this product. The old products were better but not this crap. I even called the company and they couldnt give me any advice in getting rid of my problem except they told me to call my doctor.

Pros:

Reduced the size of my zit slightly

Cons:

Made the areas I applied it very red and irritated
Good price
Not good for people with even slightly sensitive skin

I had heard good things on here about BP being a good spot treatment so I thought I would try it. I only get a few zits here and there but they are usually big and gross so I wanted to try something new. My advice is to make sure your skin won't react poorly to this strong of a product. I know I have slightly sensitive skin but I thought it would be ok. It burned my skin literally and made it very red and did nothing for the zit itself. I wouldn't self perscribe this stuff, ask a derm first. Be careful. I recommonend using apple cider vinegar for acne. I didn't believe it either, but I tried it and my face has cleared up a great deal... only downside... it smells and can take a little while to work. If you are patient and stick to it, it really does work and it is super inexpensive.
