Acne.org’s Real World Take
A more dangerous way of using benzoyl peroxide that studies show works a bit better than benzoyl peroxide alone. However, when used properly, benzoyl peroxide on its own can completely clear the skin without the addition of antibiotics.

Cons:
Made face oily
Expires quickly
I used this in the morning under my make-up, and it cleared up my acne. Unfortunately, it made my face extremely oily and I was constantly blotting my face. I was hoping the Acanya would make my skin look better, not worse! I went back to the dermatologist to get something else and now I'm trying BenzaClin. Hopefully that works better. Also, Acanya exires 2 months after you open it. There was no way I could have used the entire pump in 2 months, even with applying it every morning. It's a waste of money. Maybe they should consider making a smaller pump if they can't keep it from expiring so quickly.

Pros:
It makes your acne and scars look less red after applying and it dries up your pimples and it looks smooth after applying.
Cons:
BUT. After washing it off, the whitehead is still there and small pimples appeared. 40$ for a 25g.
I have tried this product for 4days some pimples have disappeared some still there and small ones grew. You cannot apply makeup if you want it to work though. I applied makeup in the morning after washing and when I got home and washed it off. my whiteheads looked so disgusting.

Pros:
It clear up the acne very, very fast. it wasn't oily or sticky. I have use many acne products but there is none that worked this well
Cons:
Temporary cure the acne. It came back on parts of my face that i never had before but wasn't as bad as before.
However I only use it before i go to bed, since i work in the heat during the day.
There may be cheaper products out there but it does not work as well i this has worked for me. However I must say that it works different on different people, since we all have different types of skin and acne problems.

Pros:
I used it in the summer before school and it helped get rid of my acne almost completely!
Cons:
- It takes quite a while, it took me like two months to completely get rid of my acne, annoying to leave on my face, acne came back when I discontinued the use.
Overall it works great, but I recommend drinking green tea as well and lots of water. Also buy a good moisturizer and face wash, likr Cetaphil. Worth buying for sure though.

Pros:
It worked for a little bit, not extremely well mind you, but it did something
Cons:
Stopped working after a while
Temporary fix, therefore it all comes back the minute you stop using it
As with all BP products, bleached my clothes 8-)
Waste of money. As soon as you stop, the buttons return. Furthermore, as long as you're using it, leave your favourite t-shirts in your closet.

Pros:
Reacts fast
Clears up acne =)
Cons:
You need to use it on a regular basis or you'll breakout, and $50+ every time is a bit expensive =
It drys out my skin a little bit but nothing noticable. If you drink enough water you don't even need a moisturizer.
Good but expensive. It also takes a while to clear up completely but be patient =)

Pros:
It hasn't dried my skin at all, which is great- it actually left my skin smoother. acne just got flatter and a little drier, but it's still red and still there. does really well on puss-filled acne, though. no drying, or irritation
Cons:
acne is still there, just flat.
in the first week it seems like a miracle but then it really slows down. my acne is there but at least it's flat so cover-up looks better to apply. maybe it'll take more than a month to completely disappear the acne.

clears up skin within a month. :]
Cons:
drys out your skin,quite abit.

Pros:
I have been using it for a bit over a year. Clindoxyl gel really helped my skin and it was quick. I didnt experience any dryness or redness, and you can use it with makeup without getting extra breakouts.
Cons:
It worked really well the first year and now i found it has worn off and my acne is slowly returning.
Out of the dozens of medications i have tried this has worked the best, and its only one simple dosage a day. Try it, but DO NOT mix it with other acne medications.
Pros:
Cleared up acne
