Pros:

It cleared up my pimples better than anything I've ever used.

Cons:

A little bit drying.

I really like this. I used to have moderate acne, and this cleared it up to mild, if any at all. I still have 1 or 2 bumps, but this definately works. Get it!

Pros:

It works pretty good.

Cons:

Dries out skin

I apply it right on pimples and it helps. I would not pop a pimple and then put this stuff on cause it makes it worse. It takes about 4-8 days to clear a breakout or pimple, depending on severity.

Pros:

an overall AMAZING product! honestly, i was pretty iffy about using this. i'v used soo many acne products already, including proactive, otcs, and other pricey stuff. i've also been to dermotologists. after 1 use i could see a difference. :D

Cons:

drying. i had to reduce application to only at night, and infrequent spot treatment in am if necessary. must moisturize!! i use olay oil-free moistuizer, then persa, and more lotion from a korean skin care line.

try it!

Pros:

While I could still use this without allergic reactions, this product was great. It's the only thing that got rid of all the small bumps that were covering my forehead and basically the only product that gave me smooth skin. Works very quickly, too.

Cons:

Dries out skin, causes redness and apparently I've become allergic to it early this year, because when I started taking nasal medication the bumps came back, but using this product made me get horrible reactions and I can't use it anymore.

If you're not allergic to it and you don't overuse it, it's a brilliant product, and for some (like me) the only real solution to clear skin. Problem is that it's very strong and if you're allergic to it (also like me), you have to give up on it. This product is definitely worth trying, just be prepared for the possibility that it will cause a negative reaction to your skin (large scaly patches of redness).

Pros:

Works well. I also use the generic store brands as well. Small packaging, easy to bring on the plane or a friends house to use. Works really well-saw results in days, not weeks. Seems to prevents new break outs.

Cons:

I'm black so sometimes the white or dryness can really show. Dryness can be an issue, especially in the winter. I have bleached all my sheets and towels and i have to be careful when i stay at others house to not mess their sheets up!

I wash my face with a 2% salicyclic(sp?) acid twice a day. At night i put on the persa gel. The sheets and bleached towels kinda suck but i rather have a clear face than anything. Small price to pay. I feel so much more confident. My skin isnt perfect but it looks normal. i love going out without makeup or not worrying if someones staring at my bumpy skin. Its given my skin an evenness. I also like that its affordable. Sometimes i forget to do the regiment and after a few days it begins to show, so i have to be very diligent about making sure i put it on before bed.

Pros:

just started using product. Used it at night for the first time. I noticed an immidiate difference when I woke up. Had less breakouts and my pores seemed more refined and my red spots got lighter! MOST DEFINITELY RECOMEND THIS PRODUCT!!

Cons:

kinda thick texture when you go to rub it in on your skin but nothing to complain about.

awsome price! beats spending hundreds on expensive high end products and medications. This product really does work on fighting bac and refining your pores. I apply it at night after i cleanse my skin. I wouldnt recomend using this product more than once a day just b/c it does have a higher % of BP and it is very drying and as you know if your skin isnt producing enough moisture than your skin will immidiately try heal the dryness and produce oil which obviously you WILL break out. so definitely use it just make sure you have a good moisturizer to go along with it. I will definitely keep using this product and hopefully continue to see results.

Pros:

Helps clear up zits, especially single pimples

Cons:

If not applied properly, white streaks are visible.

I dont apply it to my entire face, just where a pimple is. It works okay and gets rid of a white head in as little as 1-2 days, and cysts...usually 3-5 days to get rid of.

Pros:

works wonders on very oily skin or for bad teenage acne.

Cons:

does dry out skin, not very much in the tube, and if not blended well white is still visible on the skin

awesome stuff
