Pros:

None for me.

Cons:

Dried out my skin very badly.
Its hard to spread a layer of this stuff around.
Irritates skin.
When it dries, it kinda looks like powder or something on your face.

This product contains 10% Benzoyl Peroxide which can really dry out the skin especially since its a very effective and powerful chemical. If you were gonna use something that contains Benzoyl Peroxide, I would recommend the Clean & Clear Advantage 3-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser. It contains only 5% Benzoyl Peroxide and is more gentle on the skin. But let me tell you that Benzoyl Peroxide is a little drying anyway. Its said that it does a great job of washing away excess oil and impurities. But no. I dont recommend the Persa-Gel.

Pros:

none

Cons:

made my skin read and flaky for about a month and never helped my acne

I really had high hopes for this product. It left my skin red and flaky and even swollen! It was embarrassing and quite frankly painful as well. My brow lady even felt sorry for me and gave me free moisturizer. This never helped my acne.

Pros:

Very gentle on skin.

Cons:

Doesn't work too good, not anywhere near as effective as the Clean & Clear advantage spot treatment. Also leaves, crusty white residue on face when dried.

This product would be suitable for people who suffer from very light acne and/or have delicate skin.

February 22, 2012

Pros:

holy crap burn my skin much??

Cons:

if you do not use BP regularily i highly recommend that you do not use this product. i got it last night and applied it to 3 areas on my face for a patch test and it literally burned my skin they are so red and hurt now this morning. only one days use.. thats ridiculous.

do not use 10% BP unless youve gradally built your skin up to this amount. trust me on this it did not even take away the pimple what a rip off. only made my skin all around the pimple bright red this sucks.. i really hope it goes away after tonight.

Pros:

Gets rid of pimples eventually...

Cons:

Doesn't clear them that quickly. Takes about 3-7 days.

Its okay, but its no miracle.
April 16, 2010

Pros:

Good Price

Cons:

Everything

I tried al their line, following all the instructions. May be it does make the pimples smaller, but nt disapear and always getting more and more and does not get read of them
July 28, 2011

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..
