A blessing in a tube
Hello everyone :-) every year I go thru a horrible break out due to the summer heat, I usually go to the doctor and get a prescription for this lotion called clindamycin tropical lotion. Tropical lotion saved my life repeatedly over the years. Unfortunately I was not able to get it this year due to me not having the same insurance and my doctor unwilling to give me a prescription even tho I had no problem paying for the over the counter price BUT WHATEVER. so I researched like crazy I used Briggs apple cider vinegar on my face for a week I noticed a difference but I needed something faster so I researched more and that's when I came across a blessing in a tube!!!! I wish I could show before and after pictures! The worst part of my break out literally went away within one week! Yes one week! I still see a couple of small bumps but they aren't extreme and I have faith that by next week they will be gone as well. I used a thick coat at night and a very thin layer in the day time. I strongly recommend this product. I'm actually gonna stock up on it so Ill be prepared for the next breakout next year lol hope this helps!! Peace, love and clear skin

Holy grail product!

Pros:

Clears pimples nicely
Inexpensive

Cons:

Can be drying
Kind of a small tube
Can leave residue if you use too much

I love this product. I only use it on my pimples, not on my whole face since my acne is under control a little more (BECAUSE OF THIS PRODUCT!). If you use it all over, it can be drying. Don't apply this more than recommended. It will cause dry patches. Anyway, this is the best stuff ever. I always have a tube of this in my drawer. I apply it about 2 or 3 times a day on my pimples. The size goes down greatly, and cysts look less inflamed when applied. This won't get rid of it overnight, but it'll surely help.

Works great!

Pros:

works quickly
affordable

Cons:

dries out skin
leaves residue

I've been using this for a few months and it works to dry up pimples. Only downfall is that is leaves a white residue on your skin so you have to be careful when using it during the day and leaving the house.

Pros:

Drys out pimples
Clears alot of acne
Goes to work really fast

Cons:

Drys out your face but you can use a good moisturizer. I use clinique dramatically different lotion and then my face is fine.

The bottom line is that would totally reccomend this product. It is extremely effective and it saved my face before it got uncontrollable. Even though it dries out your face, thats kind of what it is supposed to do to get rid of acne.

Pros:

Kills the culprit
Puts swelling down after a couple uses
Affordable

Cons:

Drying
Purging of acne-very troubling to deal with that

This product IS INDEED WORTH IT. It did make my acne turn quite severe for a few weeks (purging), but I stuck with it! Stick with it however often your skin can handle it, because with Benzoyl Peroxide, using it for a couple weeks and stopping will anger and fluster your skin, resulting in even more pimples. The 10% Bezoyl Peroxide is the best ingredient to truly kill that acne bacteria. Be sure to use a moisturizer before putting a dab on the pimple(s). I typically dab this on at night after applying a good moisturizer since it is drying.

Pros:

Works great! This cleared up all of my acne.
The best acne clearing product ever!! Plus no one notices when you're wearing it.

Cons:

Besides leaving your skin a tad dry there's nothing wrong with it

Eliminated all of my acne within the course of a month. My acne was pretty awful and this took it all away. I regret not using this sooner! Definitely recommend this to people who have acne problems

Pros:

Works very good. Cleared up most of my acne within a few days of using persa-gel. My product came with a mini "Clean & Clean Morning Burst Facial Cleanser' which also helps too.

Cons:

Dries out skin somewhat: nothing a little "Queen Helene" 100% cocoa butter stick won't help with :)

I definitely would recommand this product. This actually helped my acne; now my skin is actually clear for once. And I was thinking of paying money for Proactiv....yeah right, I'll stick with this stuff :)
