Pros:

Works for me.
Has a pump.
White to clear color.
Smell isn't too bad.

Cons:

None that I've seen so far.

I tried using the recommended 3 pumps at first, but it was just too much product on my face. It didn't really irritate my skin either, which is good. To measure out the BP, I put it on the middle joint of my middle finger all the way to the tip. That's how much I use. This is probably why I never encountered any dryness, flaking, or irritation. But it's enough to work, because my skin is clearing up. And I have tried so many different products over the past 6 months.

Pros:

Spreads well, absorbs fast, feels great

This stuff absolutely rocks. It goes on great and I like the mild smell it has. It seems to irritate my skin less than other BP treatments as well. Oh yea, and it works!

Pros:

Good quantity

Cons:

Dries out
Shipping Cost
Didn't work for me

After reading all the good eviews, I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, this product was over drying my face and I received no result within 3 months. I now have a very very dry skin with as many as pimples as before. I happy to see that it worked for other people but in my own case, it didn't.

Pros:

Bottle comes with a pump!
8 ounce bottle lasts a long time.
Blends easily into the skin.
Fast shipping, at least in CA.

Cons:

Slight "hospital" scent might bother some (but I like it!).
It can bleach certain fabrics.

I have had acne for years, and I'm glad to finally see a large-sized product with a pump. This is so much easier than using little tubes of acne medicine! I can just pump this out and rub it into large areas like my back. It spreads and blends easily into the skin without leaving a visible residue behind. The texture is great and I actually like the "hospital" scent. For some of you, this might seem more expensive than a drugstore acne cream, but you get so much more per bottle! It would take 9 Neutrogena On-the_Spot tubes to equal one of these, so it's worth it. It's not a miracle cream, but it will help keep skin bacteria under control. Before, I wasn't able to really use acne medication on my back bc the tubes are usually too small. This larger product makes it possible to treat body acne easily. I don't have any irritation, and it helps control the congested pores around my neck and chest area.

Pros:

It works for most people
Just not for me

Cons:

I am apparently sensitive to it...

I really really really wanted to love this. But as soon as I put it on, my skin started turning red and burning. I think I may be allergic? Now face is puffy. Oh joy, school tomorrow. But I don't blame the product, I blame myself. I should have known, I can't even use salicylic acid.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Medicinal Smell
Very Drying, even when following exact regimen
Stings the Eyes

This may work for some people, but I found the product extremely harsh. Also it stung my eyes and caused them to go cloudy for an hour after application. I don't suggest if you have sensitive skin.

Pros:

Does not burn
No smell
Locks in moisture

Cons:

The same bottle decreases in effectiveness after about 12 months. Need to reorder as BP does dissociate in solution and become less effective over time.

WORKS GREAT! Only product that has ever worked so effectively for me, and so quickly. Very affordable as well!

Pros:

Great Texture
Goes on smooth, silky vs. Neutrogena On the spot tx.
Works great with moisturizers
Has greatly improved my skin (acne) within the 1st few days. with continued used I can tell I will still continue to see great improvement.

Cons:

Mild burning when I first started treatment. Usually goes away within 5 or so minutes.
Makes my skin a tad bit dry w/ mild flaking, but nothing compared to Neutrogena on the spot tx.

I would say yes definetly give this a whirl..it doesn't cost too much and the shipping was really fast. I rec'd my package within 2 days. The bottle is a very good size and even w/ the 3 pump use, it should last awhile. I can't rave enough about the texture of this BP. I was using Neutrogena on the Spot treatment before and had to use in very small amounts because it would dry so quickly. My skin does very well with this gel texture. I've noticed some mild breakouts but my old one's are clearing up quite nicely and with continued use I feel they will slowly clear as well.

Pros:

- doesn't smell
- doesn't burn
- creamy texture
- works!!!

Cons:

nothing at all

I was 2 days shy of my doctor putting me on Acutane. My acne was that severe and I was 28 and absolutely sick of it. In a last ditch effort, I made a leap of faith and ordered all of the acne.org products. I saw results within two days!!! My husband could not believe his eyes and neither could I. I practically burst into tears at the sight of my new skin. Love, love, love all of these products.

Pros:

Great spot treatment
Goes on clear
Clears acne
Reduces redness
Fragrance free

Cons:

Dry,flaky skin
Cracked skin
Burning during the first few days

This is an amazing benzoyl peroxide. I still use it as a spot treatment and it works brilliantly. However I do not recommend it as all over use for "the regimen". It completely destroyed my natural skin texture. I have been off of it for a month and my skin is still peeling and dry. I have to use a lot of moisturizer. I went into this having oily/ normal skin..I now have very dry skin. If you're going to use all over, proceed with caution!
