Pros:

Very light and feels really great when applied to face. The fragrance isn't too strong and smells fresh, actually. Cleared my exsisting acne to an extent.

Cons:

Tends to dry out my face just a little and does make me flake a little. In the T zone it does the opposite of drying out, it actually makes me more oily. (but the Refining Mask takes care of that.)

Clears up face but does also dry it out. USE THE GREEN TEA MOISTURIZERRRR! ITS AMAZING

Pros:

Great results for the first few days.

Cons:

After that my skin was super tight, itchy, burning, etc.

I've tried the entire Proactiv line twice and seen the same results both times. I thought my skin was pretty tough, but these products totally scorched it. I had amazing results for a few days, but then my skin was SO tight, dry and painful that I stopped using them. Plus, this stuff is super expensive for what you get. Try it if you want, just to satisfy your curiosity. It's not the miracle cure it claims to be, but hey maybe it'll work for you. You can find better products in the drug store that cost a lot less.

Pros:

...unfortunately none.

Cons:

right after 5 minutes i put it on, it made my skin SUPER dry. and my face is always oily. my face got itchy and it showed that it was dry because my face started peeling very severely.

bottom line? JUST MADE IT VERY VERY VERY DRY AND IRRITATED! not so much redness but it was unbelieva believably DRY! i really couldnt believe how dry it was.

Pros:

*Clears up blemishes quickly.
*Good consistency.
*You can 'feel' it working.

Cons:

*Intially when first using dries up skin an irritates.
*Rather on the expensive side.

Despite the cost, one of the best acne treatments available! I have used other treatments of B.P. before but I didn't consider them as effective. Skin can be a bit flacky when first using (actually felt like burning for me) but this was kind of reassuring that it was actually working. If you do flake, use an exfoliator as part of your regimen (occasionally) and get a half-decent moisturiser. Tip: Buy the larger 90ml bottles off of ebay; saves money & time. Five stars, two thumbs and all the rest.

Clears up skin overnight. Reduces acne very much.

Cons:

Dries skin a lil bit

I use it every night. I put a lot on and it reduces the size of my acne very much. It also seems to be helping with my scars. Doesnt dry my skin as much as other products

Pros:

cleared up a bit not completely....

Cons:

left my skin dry and swollen eyes.

I think that this is good only for those who do not have sensitive skin. give it a try and if it doesn't work get your money back.
