Pros:

Love everything about it. Has completely cleared up my face in the last 3 months. If I even get a pimple it is barely there for maybe a day. But NOTHING like before. I think Dan had this one completely figured out! Thanks Dan for saving my face!

Cons:

The first week it was a little dry and itchy. But I just applied a small amount and sure enough after awhile it was fine (and I have extremely dry and sensitive skin) so anyone who gives it a chance will be fine!

My face has NEVER been this clear!

I have had acne for over 10 years--nothing serious enough for Accutane, but enough that it caused daily frustration. I also have sensitive skin. This is the only product that has actually worked for me. Retin-A irritated my skin; ProActiv never worked; Murad worked ok but it cost about $40 a month. This even helps against hormonal acne (chin acne) which I used to get a lot, and nothing seemed to fix. Where I used to get large, painful breakouts on my chin, now if I get any, they are small and easy to hide with light makeup. I still occassionally get a couple breakouts here and there when I am stressed, but overall, I can go out of the house without concealer on almost every day. This took awhile to kick in for good--at least a month, so stick with it. I use it with the Purpose bar and Eucerin lotion. I haven't had to replace the cleanser or lotion yet. Best value of any product I have ever used. Highly recommended.

Pros:

Heals acne lesions and gives my skin a smoother texture

Cons:

I occassionally get small whiteheads even after being on it a while

This is a great product let me tell you when I go into a store and see one ounce BP tubes selling for 6 bucks and I see 4 times the amount selling for a few bucks more my gosh and this stuff works without the ugly white and drying....it's easy to apply and there is a good amount in there

Pros:

This is the thing for me! I have suffered with acne for about 6 yrs now and it feels great to be working with something that actually works! It also feels good on my skin.

Cons:

Although it works great, don't expect perfect skin. For me it controls my acne, it didn't completely banish it. It also takes a while to apply.

I went to tons of dermatologists and went on everything under the sun. My last choice was Accutane but I tried this instead. All those terrible red marks on my face have faded. Acne doesn't control my life anymore. Yes, I get a few spots every once in a while and don't have perfect skin, but I have normal skin. And that's good enough for me. Give it a try and be patient! Thanks Dan!!!!

Pros:

I liked it. It worked better than most products I have tried. Gentle and effective on my very stubborn acne

Cons:

none -- ok, it bleached all my sheets (you have to expect that)

I liked this and recommend it. It helped me a lot. It is better than everything I have tried (and I have tried it all -- even accutane, which worked with bad side effects, and then the acne came back a few years later). The only product that I found as good (or better) is Paula's Choice. But Clear skin is much cheaper -- very useful too.

Pros:

i see little result which less new acne formed.

Cons:

i have been using it for more tha n1 month now, however i didnt see a big improvement yet. MY face is so dry...but i will stick with it....please give me some advice.

i believe i will work.

Pros:

Clears up zits and doesn't dry out skin.
No fragrance

Cons:

Took about three full months of using the gel consistently to start to see results, but six months later, my skin looks great!
Doesn't stain clothes as badly as most BP creams.

Be patient, it works! Make sure you use it EVERYDAY though. I use it after washing with Clean and Clear Continuous Control Cleanser with 10% Benzoyl Peroxide. This made a big difference for me...really cleared up my skin. I then moisturize at night with Neutrogena Healthy Skin lotion, which really helped to even out skin tone and get rid of scars/spots.

Pros:

affordable
doesn't overdry the skin

Cons:

it hasn't got rid of my whiteheads or blackheads

Its a fantastic product, I still have acne, but its mild now and is controlled thanks to the gel. I used to be conscious of my skin but rarely worry about it since I have used the gel. I only use it at night because my clothes are bleached by the product, which is a shame.
