Pros:

-Reduces redness.
-Prevents breakouts (successfully!!)
-Dries clear if you put it on thin during the day
-Results in less than a week - almost less than one day for me!!
-Works EXTREMELY fast.

Cons:

It dries out your skin, obviously. What acne product doesn't? That's the way you get rid of pimples, anyway.
If you put on too much, it can leave this crusty white residue over the affected area.

I used to use Zapzyt, and I saw results from that after 2 weeks. But this, wow, it works in about 2 - 7 days! Fastest acne product ever! But, (Oh no, here comes the but!), it dries out your skin really easily. So, if you don't really want flaky skin, put a really thin layer on, but not too thin that it doesn't work! And over night, you can put clumps of it on, and that in the morning it will be fine. Bottom Line- I FREAKIN' LOVE IT!

Pros:

Cleared Acne quickly. Pimples decreased in size and redness overnight. Good size for price

Cons:

Drying to the skin. Leaves a white ash look on your face but a moisturizer will fix that.

It's a good effective product for clearing up acne. use if following your cleanser and then you HAVE to apply some moisturizer afterwards. its a must because its extremely drying.

Pros:

brought my cystic acne to a white head to where it was easy to pop the next day. Completely gone by the 2nd day.

Cons:

none

Okay, I've seen a few reviews saying that it dries your skin out and it's hard to spread an even layer around their face, well try just putting it on the affected areas, not on your whole face. That could be your problem. I only put it on my pimples, and I put a pretty good amount, and in all honesty, that's the whole point of the product "drying lotion" is the nickname, it dries your pimples out, so to say it's a horrible product because it dries your face out, well there's your answer, don't slap it all over your face and think it's a moisturizer, because then you thought wrong! GREAT PRODUCT!!!!

Pros:

benzoyl peroxide, works fast to clear breakouts, prevents breakouts, nice consistency, not too drying, no strong fragrance, inexpensive

Cons:

can't think of any

Best benzoyl peroxide treatment on the market. When I get a big pimple, I use this product to zap it fast. Under sunscreen, it also works to prevent pimples from forming in the "danger zones." I've used this product loyally for 5+ years...will never switch to another brand.

Pros:

clears up skin dramatically!
clears up all kinds of acne
doesnt sting at all

Cons:

may take a bit longer to start working on some skin types.
the smell may bother some (basic lotion/cream smell)

This product is amazing! I had a REALLY BAD breakout during exams and it cleared all of the acne up in about 3-4 days. I would recommend this product to anyone! I use it every night to make sure my skin is clear.

Pros:

Didn't burn when I first applied it on my pimple, unlike the other products I've tried, worked immediately...for ME.

Cons:

None, I love this thing! And it was so cheap!

I've worked for so many companies that sell products for acne, I tried it all. Everything either burned my face, dried it out, or just didn't work. I only use this at night because it dries white. First I cleanse my face with my aveeno clear complexion cleanser, then I used my Clarins toner for oily/combo skin, then I apply my daily serum from clarins"multi-activ skin renewal"...zap on my clean and clear persa gel on my pimples and apply my aveen clear complexion moisturizer. The clarins products are very expensive but the other products were cheap. I've had acne since I was 14, I'm 22 now and I can happily say I'm acne free :)

Pros:

Clears up acne fast, dries clear, great for an overnight treatment or spread thin during the day

Cons:

Do not apply too much, keep moisturizer on hand, bleaches towels, probably not for sensitive skin

This is the ONLY stuff that has ever worked for me! I use it as a spot and sometimes all-over treatment. I do add moisturizer on top if I spread it all over my face, though. Pro or con: It does lighten skin, which I like, because I do get dark acne scars sometimes. This keeps my skin completely clear and when I run out it goes up to moderate.
