Works well!!

Pros:

Lessens the pimple in size
Gets rid of the oil in the pimple

Cons:

Has left white stains on my pillow case and some shirts!
Takes a long time to dry
Isn't 100% effective

I have combination skin, so my cheeks can feel dry while my chin nose and forehead got oily. 90% of the time the breakouts were on my chin, so I would put a little on the cream on my pimple before going to bed and in the morning wash if off( dries as a white, flaky circle). This is really good to have in case of emergency with a really oily pimple because it really dries it up! Do NOT spread it all over your face or layer it onto your acne, simply dot it on each individual pimple because it WILL dry and irritate your skin a LOT!

Pros:

For a BP product, it does not dry too much
Use on large area or as spot treatment, depending on your skin.
No alcohol

I have used this for the better part of a week, followed up with Clean & Clear Deep Cleaning Astringent (Oil free). This is a nice strong product, but not overly powerful that it made my skin overly itchy or flaky. It has BP in it, so it's going to dry your skin somewhat. My acne has not cleared up yet but the spots look a bit smaller and less red, and no new zits have formed. Depending on your skin can be used over large areas or as a spot treatment. Too soon to say if this is a great product but for the price I would recommend it over Oxy pads and other BP products that I have tried (many of which contain lots of alcohol).

Pros:

Clears cystic acne

Cons:

skin slightly dry

Great for spot treatment. Used on a cystic pimple. Redness and swelling reduced significantly. Will only use when needed.

Pros:

Cheap
Works well
Helps with black heads(doesn't completely eliminate though)
Have tried many other acne treatments (proactive included) this works best

Cons:

Drys my skin if I use it everyday day
Doesn't work on cystic acne (for me at least)
Leaves bleach marks on clothing and towels if makes contacts

I would recommend it, it definitely helps my skins but doesn't make it totally clear, the bleach marks are a downside, just be careful what it makes contact with. Best product I have tried

Pros:

Easy to use
Can fit in your purse
Works
Non-drying

Cons:

Not as strong as some

This is a great acne spot treatment and it really works. I recommend benzoyl peroxide over salicylic acid or SLS ten fold. I like that it can fit in your purse for emergency breakouts. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is because it's only 5%, when there's a 10%! For someone with light or moderate acne this should work really well. I have cystic acne (mostly under control now), so when I break out I have to go for the bigger guns.

Pros:

My acne goes away in like 3 days.

Cons:

Expensive for only 28g...
Dries skin

It just gets rid of acne. I had this huge, disgusting, red cystic pimple on my nose. I applied this for 1 week straight, once a day, and it's almost gone now. :D I swear by this stuff.
