Pros:

I had acne for a little while now, tried several products, none worked.. 'til I tried this one. It started working from the first application. I wake up having less every single morning. =)

Cons:

At first, everything was fine.
After a few days, it felt itchy.
Sometimes it burns. (happen to me 2 days)Now, my skin is extremely dry. (without moisturizer)

It's the best product I had ever used. I'm really happy with the improvements. Im almost acne-free =). And everyone around me notise differences everyday. Personal advice: DO NOT use this without a moisturizer. bottom line: I recommend it ALOT. but we dont all have the same skin type, so what works for me, might not work for you.

Pros:

It helps.

Cons:

Uncomfortable to sleep

I have severe acne. I use a very thick layer every night and rinse with clean and clear face wash. It definitely works better than anything else. I tried neutregena, clearsil,and none of them work better. I still have a lot of acne, but having severe acne this works the best. I use a thick layer so it makes me ugly and it is hard to sleep at night.

Pros:

I have noticed that it is helping my chin, which errupted with whiteheads about two weeks ago. I have very oily skin around my chin area and it doesn't seem to be having too much a drying effect on me.

Cons:

Its consistency is thicker than Clearsil Ultra Gel (10% BP).

BP has always had its place in treating my acne and this brand is effective.

Pros:

affordable & actually works .

Cons:

dries out skin & leaves white residue .

I just bought this product today and applied it about an hour ago after using the acne wash . my face feels alot better already although it was really dry but luckily the acne wash came with a oil-free moisturizer that made thinhs ALOT better . i am going to continue using this product along with the acne wash & moisturizer . - - i don't recommend using this if you have sensitive skin .

Clears up breakouts very well. If you apply it on the night, in the morning 80% of the breakouts will fade

Cons:

Drying

It works and buy a moisturizer with it

Pros:

-Good Good price considering i've had it for about 7 months and theres still quitea bit left, but i havnt been using it that much.
-Doesnt smell wierd.

Cons:

Takes awhile for the pimple to clear up
-I feel like you feel the need to put more and more, because you dont feel the affect of accomplishment on the pimple.

I bought this item when i went to target, i had seen a couple youtube videos on it and I wanted to try it, so i bought it. Its good. It dries up that stuborn little pimple and then after about 3-4 days it'll go away.

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:

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:

Gets rid of those irritating pimples

Cons:

I was only using it for about two days and then my skin got super dry and flaky and it stayed like that for a whole week! Even when i used a moisturizer i could still see all the skin flakes it caused.

Works Well, but it makes your skin super dry and flaky
