Pros:

Definitely got rid of a bunch of my acne. Works really fast.

Cons:

Can be very drying & sometimes leaves a white film. Pimples tend to show up (for me) if discontinued... so just keep using it!

Used it on a pimple that I felt was about to surface (that painful kind) & it didn't even show up the next day =)

Pros:

I was getting clusters of red bumps on my face in different spots... i used this product yesterday night on only one spot to test it and woke up this morning with nothing on that spot. It's really good...

Cons:

it does dry the skin a little but it's no big deal once i used a moisturiser.

this product worked well for me. it works fast!

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:

It works efficiently, It visibly reduces acne in about 2 days.

Cons:

Face is left somewhat white after application

Great product. I use it in conjunction with an astringent, and my face still does not get irritated or dry. It is cheap, easy to use, and very effective. (I use the astringent in order to remove the oil from my face before application, using this product in conjunction with another product is not necessary, it works well enough on its own)

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.
August 12, 2008

Pros:

clears up bumps in less than two days
i see a major difference, it shrinks the bump very quickly

Cons:

dries skin, leaves white residue

it's really helpful for big pimples, or small groups of bumps.... i usually put the gel on my face at night or if i'm staying inside, just a little on the bump
