Pros:

It clears your skin up fast.

Cons:

It left my skin red, itchy, and swollen. My eyes were also really swollen (and still are).

If you have sensative skin, don't use this product. Or, if you must, then only apply to one small area on your face for a couple hours to make sure you're not allergic.

Pros:

well i guess there really aren't any.

Cons:

It made my whole face flaky. I have a very pale complexion, so it made my face really red. It looked like I got a sunburn.

It didnt do much. I have zits that are really deep in my skin with lots of post acne marks, it inflamed my skin and made my zits flaky and as a result, i didnt look too hot lol ;)

Pros:

Very strong stuff
works well on forming zits

Cons:

Drys out skin like crazy

This product MUST be used with a moisturizer. It drys out your skin, but in turn the moistureizer makes skin softer. This product worked okay on exsisting acne, but worked GREAT on appearing acne. I had to reduce the usage to every other day, as my skin was so dried out.

Pros:

Seems to be drying out pimples. I have only been using this product for a few days. Skin seems clearer.

Cons:

Drying. Use a good lotion with it, or even vitamin E oil.

I have combination skin (some parts dry some parts oily). My skin is also very sensitive to products.I have been having really horrible deep pimples. Almost cystic like. I put this cream on them a few times in one day and it really seems to be drying them up. I wouldn't recommend putting it all over your face. Use it at night and then wash off in the morning. It seems to be working well. I don't know what its effects are for long term use though as I have only used it for a few days.

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.
