Pros:

Did clear up many of my blemishes and a few that did appear were noticeably smaller.

Cons:

I found it super drying, even with the Cetaphil moisturizer. Even when I went down to applying every other day, my face reacted badly, peeling, itching, and flaking. I don't think it's specific to this product, might just be a reaction to BP.

Would work well if you have oily skin, not the combination/dry skin of someone in their 30's like me! Great that there is no animal testing.

Pros:

it does help clear pimples

Cons:

my skin was never 100% clear and often felt irritated and was still shiny.

i felt that although it did keep my acne at bay the chemicals irritated my skin somewhat and often left it reddish. i also hated putting the amounts of bp Dan recommended...it was scary to think my skin would need to rely on such amounts bp. i am willing to try other forms of bp, however, in hopes that it will not irritate my skin at all and hopefully i will be able to apply it in smaller amounts. i do believe benzoyl peroxide is a tried and true acne fighter and a treatment we should all try.

Pros:

works very well; goes on easy with no white film; smells fine; lasts for almost 2 months and nice bottle design haha

Cons:

a little too shiny if putting it on my forehead and nose area but thats usually only at night; can be a bit too drying but still looking to find a really good moisturizer as well; wish they sold it in stores so we wouldn't have to pay for shipping.

Overall a really good medication to fight light to moderate acne. Don't think its really for more severe acne but give it a shot anyway. This really helped my skin out a lot but still need to find a good way to moisturize and also get this layer of dead skin off my face which this stuff contributes to but overall it still works very well and much more affordable then other products.

Pros:

The only product that has got rid of my white pussy spots. A big Thank YOu!

Cons:

It will dry skin out but will even out later. It just takes time and patience to get results.

It works! and I gave my batch to my sister so Im ordering some more now! :)

Pros:

Clears exsisting moderate acne in about 3 days, reduces shine and redness, and improves tone and texture of skin :D

Cons:

Ever so often a small pimple will form. Blackheads and whiteheads are still present. Grrr. Dries the skin but that's what moisturizers are for.

I have never had severe acne. I never had more than 5 pimples at a time, which is just as irratating as having a dozen. This product cleared my acne in only 3 days. I do occasionally get a pimple but only once in a great while and it usually clears quickly without leaving scars. I would recommend this product to anyone that stuggles with acne :)

Pros:

inexpensive

love love love this stuff. This stuff lasts me forever, doesn't smell, and gets rid of acne fast. It's a gel, which might take some getting used to, but it goes on MUCH more consistently than Clearasil or the like. OTHER PRODUCTS I USE: Dermalogica Dermal Clay cleanser (best facial cleanser you will ever find. get the really big pump size and it lasts for six months!) Dermalogica skin prep scrub (a couple times a week) Dermalogica Skin Refining Masque (2 times a week, after skin prep scrub) Neutrogena Visibly Even daily SPF 15 moisturizer (moisturizes very well and even brightens your skin tone)

Pros:

High quality product, low price.

Cons:

Only the bleaching effect it has on pillows (but that happens with all BP products)

I switched to this BP cream from OXY 'On-The-Spot' 2.5% and have been please the whole time using the OXY cream, it was just very expensive. This gel has been working just as well, and at a much better price. Even delivery to the UK was only 5 days. I'm probably saving $40 a month swapping to this gel. Cheers! -another Dan :)

Pros:

This gel form of benzoyl peroxide really works better than all others. In 2 weeks following the regimen, my face has cleared up.If I do get a zit, it does not turn big and only lasts for 1 or 2 days. This is a must try. remember to stick with it!

Cons:

Did initially dry my skin and cause flaking, which BP doesnt. I use lac-hydryn five lotion with a few drops of jojoba oil and it took care of the dryness and flaking. It even helped improve my skin tone which is great.

You must try this BP gel with the regimen. It absorbs well when you gently massage it into your skin. You need to stick to the regimen even if you suffer break outs.I have moderate acne and it has cleared me up very well. I dont know how well it would work for those who have severe acne. Stick to the regimen!

Pros:

Good stuff

Cons:

None

I got this for like 13 bucks, used it for about 2 weeks and its not bad. It tends to dry out your skin a little but after like an hour my skin goes back to normal. So far it's working so fingers crossed. Recommended for people who have tried everything else.
