Pros:

Works over-night
A little goes a long way

Cons:

In such a small bottle :(

This stuff WORKS. That is the bottom line. I do not think I have very sensitive skin, so I use a lot at one time, but I know others who use only very little and get the job done. IT EVEN ERASED MY SCARS! seriously, I do not remember the last time my nose felt so smooth. What I do: Use product where I have zits before I go to bed, and in the morning, I use clinique moisturizer in the same spots. :D

Pros:

works

Cons:

whitish cast if not rubbed in properly

this is the only thing that work for my mainly noninfamed acne. i actually use the target brand because it's far less expensive and it works marvelously well. the whitish cast can be treated with some basic moisturizer - my favorite is the cetaphil cream because it's one of the only ones i find noncomedogenic and does the best job in controlling flakes and making skin feel comfortable. in the end, i'm left with glowing, acne free skin!

Pros:

Heals acne FAST
prevents acne
No more scars!

Cons:

They don't make a gallon sized container.

This stuff saved my (social) life. I had pretty bad acne when I started using it as well as some scarring. I started applying in directly to pimples and got great results. Its just like it kills the zits and if you keep applying it, it will completely get rid of any mark or scar from it. I rub in a small amount over my usual acne locations then let it dry then I glob a spot of it on the actual pimples and let that dry before I go to bed. I now rarely get zits and when I do they are short lived. It does leave white marks on your face, but they're easily washed off with water in the morning. It's worth it, trust me.

Pros:

-clears up skin
-significantly dries up existing acne pimples overnight
-no white residue
-easy to apply

Cons:

-bleaches sheets and clothing

Thank God for this. I absolutely love this 10% benzoyl peroxide gel. Now, I purchased the CVS brand version of this product (it is exactly the same. Same ingredients and everything, just a little less expensive) but I imagine this Clear&Clear one to be the same. I never had anything work so well on my pimples. I use this every night GENEROUSLY, even on areas where I don't have any breakouts because the gel will prevent them from forming. Excellent as an all over face acne treament and as a spot treament. <3 you, BP 10% gel.

Pros:

Cheap and quick way to get rid and reduce acne

Cons:

It bleached my clothing and pillow case

Overall, I found this product to be amazing! Within days of my first application my acne started to clear up. Albeit, my skin isn't crystal clear, it has definitely done an excellent job in helping clear it up. It does have a tendency to leave a milky film after application; however, if you use this at night it shouldn't be a problem. My only problem with this product, is the bleaching of my clothing and pillow. Other than that, I can't complain. It did exactly what was expected!

Pros:

Works quickly and effectively

Cons:

Can't use this product in sunlight, drying

I use this as a night cream, I just put it all over my face. The thing is, I've been doing this for years now and my skin is so used to the product that it will not remove any acne- but it does however prevent acne. When I first started using this a while back, I remember instantly loving it! So, although it doesn't work so well for me now, if you've never used this, it should work for you. Note: when I started using this, my acne was moderate

Pros:

-Gets rid of acne
-Removes redness
-Prevents future breakouts!
-Super FAST

Cons:

-Drying..but every product with benzoyl peroxide causes this.
-If you use too much, it can leave a white residue behind.

I'm not one to go on websites and review products unless they are spectacular. This product did it for me! At first I started using this product and my acne went completely away in a couple weeks. After a few months of use I decided to stop using the regimen and see what happens. After a week my acne came back with a few zits here and there, but enough to make my self-esteem plummet. I rushed back to this product and like magic, my acne went away after a few days of use. I am nineteen now and I guess I was not blessed with perfect skin or the ability to grow out of acne, but this product will definitely be with me until they find the miracle cure for acne.
