Pros:

Great for treating persistent body acne.

Cons:

Smells horrible, bleaches hair and clothes.

For body acne, I recommend washing affected areas with a gentle soap-free cleanser, then applying a layer of Persa-Gel to the entire area before bed. I don't use this stuff on my face, too irritating. BP actually kills the bacteria that cause acne, so it's a great treatment to clear up skin. Persa-Gel is also a good spot treater for individual zits.

Pros:

Kills zits

Cons:

Dries your face out

I had a zit developing, the kind you know you're gonna have to live with for weeks in disgust... I got the 5% kind of this cream, put it on that night (after using a cleanser) and some moisturizer, the next day it was gone! Gone I tell you! Didn't really help with blackheads, whiteheads or acne scars though.

Pros:

Clears up pimples within 2-3 days.

Cons:

Can dry the skin.

A staple product for anyone who is desperate to fight off acne. Due to the 10% concentration of benzoyl peroxide, however, it can be irritating or too drying for those with sensitive skin. It never hurts to give it a try, though.

Pros:

Cleared up all my pimples within the first couple nights of using it. My skin was very smooth. The redness went away also. No new pimples have dared appeared.

Cons:

Dried skin out while using it but i found that if i put it on before bed and washed it off in the morning it worked just as when as made your skin less dry.

Use it!!!! It works!!!!!

Caused burning, redness and stinging within the first few hours of application. I appear to be allergic to 10% BP but not 2.5%. If you begin having any of these symptoms, I recommend discontinuing use!

This is a great product for acne proned skin. I've been using it for years and it works. I suggest wearing a moisturizer and if you go outside, WEAR SUNSCREEN!!!!! This is very important because it can reverse the effects and can damage your skin if your in the sun too long. Also, use a thin layer all over your face to get the best results.
