Pros:

Fast-acting
No heavy fragrance
Can wear under makeup and moisturizer(if rubbed in well prior to application)

Cons:

Can be drying if you're skin is not extremely oily( but can be easily remedied with the proper moisturizer).

I used this treatment gel (more like a cream) as part of my last resort before visiting the dermatologist. I didn't want to pay $$$ to only be pumped full of meds and slather on ointments that may or may not work. Firstly- I changed my diet to more lean meat, veggies and water ( i still consumed 1% milk and a few pcs of dove dark chocolate as a treat ;-)  bcuz my skin doesnt react to dairy), then i added a Fish oil vitamin ( Super omega 3 by wonder laboratories: molecularly distilled (free of toxins) and pharmaceutical grade - both characteristics extremely important when taking Fish oil supplement). I was already exercising 5 days a week so the last thing i needed to add to my regimen was something topical. In comes C&C persa 10 gel. @ Night: i gently washed my face for 15 seconds using Aveeno clear complexion FOAMING facial wash, let my face air-dry(never use a washcloth), then apply a heavy layer of Persa gel (my skin can take the amount) - let that dry for 20 min, and then apply Aveeno clear complexion moisturizer. In the morning: the same as the night time ritual (but i fully rub Persa gel in before applying moisturizer) and my makeup glides smoothly and lasts all day. After 5 days (no exxaggeration) my skin was clear. Previously i had about 4 medium sized pimples on EACH cheek and 3 small- medium sized pimples on my forehead. so to come that far in five days was RIDICULOUSLY amazing. I truly believe all my healthy changes - along with heavy,consistent use of the Persa gel 10 cleared my acne. Needless to say i dont need to go to the derma anymore. Of course all skin types are different and everything wont work for everyone- but try my whole 180 degree regimen to see a difference in your skin and overall bodily health. I cant believe how smooth and acne free my skin is. And i thought i couldnt stay out of the mirror before Lol. About Me: Female- early 20's - naturally tan skin- daily foundation user- uses this regimen daily w/out fail.

Pros:

Has 10% Benzoyl Peroxide
Is easy to apply to the skin
Clears up acne pretty well
Great if you have bad acne or if you have really oily skin

Cons:

Can be drying if you use too much of it all of the time

Is great overall if you have moderate acne or really oily skin. Helps to minimize zits quickly. I wouldn't recommend it if you have very sensitive skin, but you could try it as a spot treatment. And as always with every acne spot treatment, MOISTURIZE!!!

Pros:

It cleared up my skin fast!!
Easy to use.
Cheap

Cons:

Can dry out your skin but you can use moisturizer and you're good to go.

Overall, it is a great product. I have two pimples on my forehead. I bought this product and had great results. You should try it. Of course, I'm not persuading everyone to buy it due to different skin types. Try it and see if you had results like me.

Pros:

Cheap, matte consistency, works great!

Cons:

Nothing at all

I have fairly good skin that's a little shiny sometimes but generally i don't have acne. However around my period I usually get one huge pimple that refuses to disappear for over a week! This stuff is amazing in the way that it dries up the pimple and makes it so easy and efficient to pop ( the right way, with the hot water and compress and sterilized needle and everything) a few days of putting this on at night and any pimple no matter how big or Small will be ready to pop with a perfect white head. Put on a little neosporin afterwards and it's healed in two days! Amazing loved this stuff as a spot treatment and don't plan to ever use another product again! I used to use tea tree oil but this stuff is so much better

It really does work and i think im seeing results in only a few days of using the product but like i said it reaaallllyyy dries your face out. Find a good oil free moisturizer and use a lot of it.

Pros:

Drys out pimples
Clears alot of acne
Goes to work really fast

Cons:

Drys out your face but you can use a good moisturizer. I use clinique dramatically different lotion and then my face is fine.

The bottom line is that would totally reccomend this product. It is extremely effective and it saved my face before it got uncontrollable. Even though it dries out your face, thats kind of what it is supposed to do to get rid of acne.

Pros:

IM NOT LYING (THIS STUFF WORKS!)

Cons:

it can and prolly will leave your face with white residue, so buy a a pack of makeup remover facial cloths (Clean & Clear brand preferably) to remove from face after about 10 minutes of allowing the medicine to prenetrate into the pores

If you want your acne gone, BUY IT! just use it every morning and night. NO LIE... ALL OF MY ACNE IS GONE.
