Pros:

Dries up pimples fast!
Doesn't dry out skin
Helps pimples heal faster than any other spot treatment I've tried

Cons:

Sometimes can purge skin from being so strong, which can cause other pimples. But that's usually only once in a blue moon.
Has seemed to stop working after three years :(
Sometimes ineffective on cysts

This is the best spot treatment I've tried! I have used so many OTC treatments, home remedies, and a couple prescription treatments, and this has been the most effective. I have oily skin that can't afford to be stripped or will obviously overproduce oils! This does not leave me flaky, and dries pimples out without being damaging to my skin. I am sad that lately it hasn't really been helping my pimples. I haven't broken out this bad in years, but I currently have 13 active pimples on one side of my face. I think my Garnier bb cream is to blame, but that's a whole different review. I recommend this to anyone that struggles with whiteheads, or hormonal acne.

Pros:

Great for bacne
Gel

Cons:

Ruined my favorite shirt
Doesn't dry quickly enough

I used this for my bacne, and it helped a lot. I had to stop using it because it dried my skin up a lot. I now use something else for my body acne.

Pros:

Clears up acne
Dries fast
Only spot treatment I've found that works!

Cons:

Dries your skin out so use a moisturizer, price has gone up from what I remember but it's still cheap. Be careful with how much you put on, I wear this stuff to bed and it's bleached my pillow cases multiple times.

I love this stuff, it works like no other. I've been using the Persa Gel 10 for well over a year now and it's hard to switch to anything else. I tried the Target brand version and it just wasn't the same.

Pros:

It works really fast. It got rid of most of my breakouts in a couple of days.

Cons:

It REALLY dries out your skin. And I have super oily skin.

Its great, but make sure you use a moisturizer afterwards.

Pros:

gets rid of zits SO QUICKLY. for those big, annoying ones: sometimes overnight!

Cons:

drying and irritating to the skin

It works really well to zap away pimples, but does make your skin dry, flaky, peely, etc. But anything with BP does that.

BP does work, but I hate using it
This is just a maximum strength (10%) Benzoyl Peroxide cream. BP does work to clear my small bump acne, although I hate using it and hate that my clean skin relies on it so heavily. It's really like the only topical cream that actually works. However, I always try to find a store brand BP (like up & up at Target, or Kroger has a good one) that are just as good but cheaper than the name brand BP creams. but ACTUALLY, I've recently tried to stop using BP, and am attempting to replace it with natural treatments. Right now I'm using melaleuca and lavendar essential oils and for the first time in forever (like 15 years!!!!) I feel like my skin can be clear WITHOUT benzoyl peroxide and harsh acne treatments. The best part is I know exactly what I am putting on my face, and I know it's all good stuff. Let me know if you want more information or an update on how my new routine is going!
