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:

Works fast (overnight results)
Pimples look smaller
Doesn't sting and soothes your skin
Pimples disappear completely within 1 - 2 weeks
Really easy to remove

Cons:

Dries your skin sometimes

When I first bought it I think I might've used it the wrong way and i gave up :P but about a year after I purchased it I ran out of my usual acne spot treatment so I gave it a try I was so so so so happy with the results! I put it on whenever a pimple shows up and it makes my face feel really clean! I put it on at night and take it off in the morning because it dries quickly and turn to flakes that you can peel off your face easily. My pimples are usually gone or visibly smaller in a week.

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:

This product shows immedieate results(results within 1-3 days),It is worth the price(about $8 in Canada)lastly, If applied correctly it is virtually invisible.

Cons:

Although this product has many benefits it does dry out the skin and if applied to heavily(you put to much on)It leaves white residue which makes it diffcult to wear during the day as suggested.

The bottom line is if you have problem Acne, or blackheads you should definatly invest in this product, GET IT!! GET IT !! the side effects are minimal just buy a moisturizer that works the only thing you have to make sure of is you DO NOT USE IT WITH ANOTHER PRODUCT. I did that and I got a rash all over my face and i had to go 3 weeks with just using water on my face until it cleared up THEN i could start using it properly. BTW i used Clean & Clear Persa gel 5 because persa gel 10,10% bp, is considered a medication that needs to be perscribed by a dermotologist in Canada but w/e it still works just as effectively

Pros:

Kills off nasty pustules and red spots. Dries out oil from the skin. Makes skin feel cleaner.

Cons:

Redness, Flakiness.

The side effects of the gel are preferable by far to the acne that it treats and can be managed with a moisturizer. For me, this 10% Benzoyl Peroxide gel is significantly more effective than the 2.5% concentration. It varies from person to person however and skin sensitivity must be taken into account. This gel cleared stubborn acne that I had for years. In the past, shaving has triggered my acne, so I use OXY shaving cream, which contains 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide.

Pros:

Easy to use. Cheap. And it works! The BP in this product has really gotten my acne under control. Barely no new zits since I frequently used this product. Only now I'm having to deal with the red marks that inevitably come after acne heals.

Cons:

Like others have pointed out, the BP tends to try the skin, so use with moisturizer. In my case, I find that a little goes a long way with this product. Just apply a bit see how it works for you.

All in all, I would recommend this product to anyone with moderate to slightly severe acne. For me, it has been the one anti-acne product that I have stuck with these last two years to keep my skin under control. I am at a point now that I only need to apply this two or three times a week to keep things clear. A word of caution though: If you plan on using this (or anything with BP), the main thing I found that is or utmost importance is to use the right type of moisturizer, and to apply it correctly (see Dan's vids). Dry skin will only aggravate acne, and so without the right type of moisturizer your use of this product will only be counter productive in your quest for clear skin.

Yes- this product dries out your skin. But- it is so worth it! This is the only thing I've used that really works! Well worth the money. It gets rid of acne fast and I was very satisfied with the product.

Pros:

less acne in general; less blackheads

Cons:

dries skin after the first couple of days, esp around mouth & chin area.. but i haven`t experienced that since the first week of using it

I have mild/moderate acne, & this product is probably the best thing i`ve ever tried ! believe me, i`ve tried everything from aspirin to retin-A. idk how it does on its own, considering i use a regimen that also consists of clearasil acne pads, some other clean & clear stuff in a purple tube and clean & clear morning burst, but this was the last thing i added to my regimen and it seems to be doing the most good ! i use it in the morning as well after i get home from school and at night before i go to sleep. it`s a really cheap product so i suggest giving it a try !
