MOST DRAMATIC ACNE CHANGE EVER!!
I HAVE SEEN DERMATOLOGISTS FOR YEARS, BEEN ON ACNE ANTIBIODICS, AS WELL AS EVERYTHING ELSE YOU COULD THINK OF. THESE WERE LIFE CHANGING RESULTS. I HAVE MANY SCARS FROM MY SEVERE ACNE, AND NOTHING HAS EVER PREVENTED MORE ACNE. THIS DOES!!

Simply Amazing

Pros:

Clears acne fast
Reduces redness almost instantly
Boosts confidence (I dont wear any face make up anymore!)

Cons:

Bleaches pillow case
Tingling sensation

I have been using this product since I first found it at Walgreens last year and I must say this has made me feel so much more confident about my skin and my redness has improved SO much. I had been using other 10% BP products for about 2 years before. Yes, the 10% burns, but your skin will get used to it within a month. It's not a horrible pain, it just makes your skin tingle and feel itchy for about 10 minutes after application. I apply this product 10 minutes after I shower (I make sure my face is completely dry), allow it to dry, then apply a moisturizer (Olay Complete SPF 15 Moisturizer for Sensitive Skin), then go to bed. I only use this once a day now that my acne is pretty much under control but when I break out bad I use it 2-3 times a day. If you want to zap your zits quickly use a heavier layer (wont dry clear) and don't apply moisturizer. It's also not that expensive and a little goes a long way. I just finished my first bottle. It also is nice since I work at Walgreens I get an employee discount for it.

Godsend for Bacne!

Pros:

Gets rid of bacne FAST
Inexpensive
Doesn't irritate skin

I have stubborn bacne that doesn't respond to over the counter or prescription medications. However, on a whim I decided to try Terminator for my acne, and in two days my bacne went from bumpy and red, to nearly smooth and clear. And by day three, there was one small pimple on my back, and the rest was clear. Terminator keeps me clear and for the past several months, I've kept at least two tubes on hand. Highly recommended!

Burns!

Pros:

none

Cons:

burns
redness
peeling

10% benzoyl peroxide was way too strong to put on my face. it burned my skin and made it red and painful. I'll never put it on my face again, if anything get benzoyl peroxide in a lower dose like 2.5% so you don't burn your face off.

Terrible burning sensation, dry skin, worse than any other benzoyle peroxide product i've tried.

Pros:

Smells nice
Cheapish

Cons:

Burns
Drys out skin
Ineffective

I seriously doubt this product works as I've applied it to my face many times with no results. I just applied it to my face and applied dark spot corrector lotion over it and my face started burning, it feels worse than a sunburn. When I applied it earlier last week i got some under my eye and it irritated the skin so so badly it hurt to the touch. It also dried out my skin to the point where It would be like dandruff of the face. I would avoid this product, especially if your skin is sensitive, mine is not.

Pros:

*works~This is essentially what cleared my skin!
*cheap
*not chalky

Cons:

* I did have a bit of dryness for a while so definitely use a good moisturizer.
*may pill up if you put your sunscreen over it too soon

It sinks in well and doesn't leave a white cast. (Apply this to a damp face )This cream didn't irritate me as bad as other OTC BPs I've tried~that might be why it actually worked on me. I also never increased the dosage to more than a dime sized dollop for each problem area (for me the whole cheek area). Consistent use, a good AHA, & in 2 months my skin was clearer than it had been in 10 years. I'm using this about 2-3 times per week at the moment for maintenance.

Pros:

CLEARS SKIN
PREVENTS BREAKOUTS
GOOD PRICE
OTC

Cons:

DRIES FACE A LOT AT FIRST
THE TEXTURE OF IT IS NOT PLEASANT
STOPS WORKING AFTER A WHILE

THIS PRODUCT WORKED SO WELL ON ME BUT AFTER A WHILE IT JUST STOPPED WORKING I RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE SUFFERING WITH ACNE. WHILE USING IT I WOLD ONLY GET ONE PIMPLE EVERY NOW AND THEN BUT EVENTUALLY I WOULD START BREAKING OUT AFTER A YEAR OR SO. THE PRICE IS GOOD I LIKE THAT ASPECT IN COMPARISON TO OTHER PRODUCTS

Pros:

Clears up skin literally overnight
Dries Clear
Great Value

Cons:

Smells HORRIBLE!
Stings slightly when first applied

Overall I really liked this product. It literally cleared up my acne overnight and killed the few pimples I had while on the regime. It comes in a 1oz tube and for $5 I think that is a great value verses the Neutrogena On the Spot treatment which is $10 for .75oz. My only gripes with this product are that it smells so terrible, it's really overwhelming when first applied. Also it stings slightly when you first apply it, at least for me. I never had this issue with the Neutrogena but it was nothing to bad and it subsided within a couple of minutes. Overall I'd recommend giving it a shot if you are sick of the high price of Neutrogena's formula.
