Pros:

The best and fastest treatment for my acne that i have ever used! I've tried many things like doxycyclin, erythromycin, retin-a micro, stridex, clean and clear advantage, BUT THIS BEATS THEM ALL. EVEN WORKED BETTER THAN TEA TREE OIL!

Cons:

It can darken the area around the pimple you apply it on, but it peels off in a matter of days. It does not scar! i reapeat, does not scar.

This is the best five dollars i have ever spent. I have ocassional cystic acne and i put a dab of this on a huge one and wake up to DRAMATIC results. Please don't over use this though. I have tough skin but my brother doesn't so when he loads it up like i do, it makes him red for thirty minutes. Strange thing is that i have used other BP gels and i thought that this wouldn't be any different, but it was! much better than anything I've used! And i have used EVERYTHING. Jojoba oil, tea tree, you name it. This along with drinking lemonade for a week will clear you up in no time.

Pros:

Kept my acne away, for years. Not one button!!
Clean and clear.

Cons:

Burned in the beginning,
Can get a bit watery, shake tube before applying.

I used it after washing my fcae with St.Ives. At this moment, I can't any in my country and guess what? I am breaking out on my forehead and cheeks. I recommend that you try it and see if it works for you. The same product would not work for everyone.

Pros:

It dries up blemish in a decent amount of time.

Cons:

It dries out skin severly, makes the blemish red, and burns like all get out...

Don't use it...it killed my skin...there are other bp's out there that does just as good w/o the probs that this has.

Pros:

This product works great. Normally I use clearasil ultra, but finally it really did not work well for me. I switched to this because my mom buys it for all my sibs. NO wonder they have clear skin. The first day it cleared up my skin. It's amazing.

Cons:

I have really oily skin, but in the winter I get really dry skin cause of my climate. So my skin is really dry. So what I do is put vaseline on my face-where I need it-. If i have a pimple trying to heal, then I use neosporin.

Work's amazing. Don't spend money on expensive products, because I've tried nearly all of them. This one worked the best. My sister tried proactiv and like many others her face broke out horribly. She even stayed on for two months to see if that was the initial reaction, but it just got worse. She switched to this stuff and it works great for her. It will clear up your skin in no time. Make sure to use moisturizer, if you have a problem with dry skin!!!!!

Pros:

Dries up throbbing, painful, full, huge pimples very quickly and effectively.

Cons:

Won't fade "dried up" pimples.

Not bad! I'm not too impressed, yet. Worth the money, a sure bet to quickly dry up big whiteheads, but there may be something better to deal with those tiny pinprick mild spots. Mild tingling after several applications.

Pros:

Kills acne bacteria better than any other cream out there

Cons:

Bleaches dyed fabrics, requires a moisturizer

This product kills acne bacteria better than anything else I've used, and I've tried everything from Proactiv to prescription medicines. It clears pimples up quickly and prevents most pimples from even forming in the first place. If you use it over Alpha Hydrox Cream it "spreads" better. Be sure to use a moisturizer afterward, too. I've used it as part of my own modified regimen for three years now, and my skin is clear.

Pros:

Works well and works fast.

Cons:

Burns a bit and leaves your skin a bot pink for the first few minutes that you put it on.

I trid the 5% version and fell in love. I have VERY MILD acne, I'm almost completley clear, but I needed something to treat those pesky little pimples that I get every so often. This goes on very nicely and doesn't ball up with my moisturizer (Dove Essential Nutrients Night Cream). My skin is glowing and soft.
