Pros:

Works well on break outs. Put on pimples before bedtime and your pimple is almost gone when you wake up.

Cons:

After I started using this, I noticed most of the spots I treated left a red mark. So now when I dont wear make-up I have red spots on my face, especially on my cheeks.

I do recommend. I only recently started breaking out cause of stress (moving across provinces and planning my wedding) and this product has improved the sudden breakouts on my cheeks but you have to be consistent with putting it on pimples to help reduce size.

Pros:

Reduces size of large zits & cysts
Clears zits quickly when used as spot treatment
Prevents new acne pretty well when used all over as in the regimen
Goes in smoothly and easily
Absorbs quick with minimal white residue left behind

Cons:

Small tube
Somewhat drying, but not bad for being 10%
can't find the 5% or 2.5% anywhere but would like to try them...

Overall it works as good as any bp treatment. It is a gel which is nice, but only the 10% is widely available so I haven't been able to try the lower ones. Definitely does what it is suppose to do, just keep using it and remember, just because you keep getting some zits doesn't mean it isn't working. It will DEFINITELY reduce what you currently have if used as a spot treatment at first and help prevent new acne from forming if used consistently with the regimen as suggested.

Pros:

Dries out pimples fast.
Inexpensive.

Cons:

Doesn't completely rid acne.

This product works really well. I usually use this when I get REALLY bad pimples all over my face, and I just put it on before bed and the next morning most of the zits are way smaller. It never completely got rid of my acne though, but it's a great spot treatment. I got it at Wal Mart for only 5 bucks so it's not expensive either =] I would definately reccomend this product if you are looking for a good spot treatment.

Pros:

Great for bacne
Gel

Ruined my favorite shirt
Doesn't dry quickly enough

I used this for my bacne, and it helped a lot. I had to stop using it because it dried my skin up a lot. I now use something else for my body acne.

Pros:

Works. Clears pimples... prevents bacteria/breakouts/pushes old bacteria out.

Cons:

Drying. I get a little bit of stinging the first two minutes i put it on.... and it turns a bit red... but it goes away though.

I never had a problem with acne until University... Then I started breaking out badly on my chin only. I figured it was me touching my face but it continued for years... and then it got so bad one summer I was desperate and bought this... I saw results the hour I put it on!!! My chin is finally looking....normal ish. no longer red and full of pimples. The ones I had on are a lot less red and drying out and slowly going away..... I'm praying this continues to work forever, because so far it's amazing. Mosturizer is needed when using this, since it is a medicine not a creme to soothe your face haha

Pros:

Clears up acne
Dries fast
Only spot treatment I've found that works!

Cons:

Dries your skin out so use a moisturizer, price has gone up from what I remember but it's still cheap. Be careful with how much you put on, I wear this stuff to bed and it's bleached my pillow cases multiple times.

I love this stuff, it works like no other. I've been using the Persa Gel 10 for well over a year now and it's hard to switch to anything else. I tried the Target brand version and it just wasn't the same.

Leaves a white cakey stain behind especially if you sweat a lot
