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.

September 12, 2010
Cons:
-Expensive
-Dries out skin
-Acne comes back if you stop using it
The tube of it is about $70, but it lasts 120 days. It has quick results and as long as you keep using it, your acne will stay away!

Pros:
it gets rid of pimples within a few days, once you've used it for a few weeks, it clears pimples up overnight and also decreases swelling
Cons:

this is a very good product to use if you have minor to severe acne. it's affordable if you have health insurance (it only costs 8 dollars on my health plan)

December 18, 2008
Pros:
Works fast, No smell, Easy to apply
Cons:
Bleaches fabrics, Dries skin
Only been using for a week, already seen improvement (mostly in whiteheads), seems to lighten marks from old pimples, not too drying so far, covered by most extended health care plans.
November 19, 2008
Pros:
-Worked unbelievably quick, cleared up acne substantially, easy to apply, affordable (with health plan), not overdrying (for me), no initial breakout (again, for me).
Cons:
Comes in a pretty small tube, but you apply it sparingly anyways so no big deal really. Does have a 4 month expiry date, which is kind of short i suppose (and probably explains the small size of the tube).
After having relatively clear skin for the first 20 years of my life, i suddenly broke out about a year ago, primarily on my forehead and back. Initially i tried your basic Neutrogena SA wash with little success. I then moved on to other brands (still using SA), added exfoliants, gentle cleansers, fish oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, you name it. I even drastically cut my dairy intake (instead drinking soy milk) and stopped taking supplements (for weightlifting), multivitamins, etc. I should also mention that i tried a BP cleanser for approximately one month with little success. Fed up, i finally went to see a Dr. (not a derm, my city has none). He took one look at me and prescribed me Clindoxyl and tretracyline (oral antibiotic). My skin started clearing up after 3 days and is now probably 90% improved after only 1 week. I cleanse with teraseptic (which is pretty harsh, fyi) twice a day then apply clindoxyl, that and taking the tetracyline twice a day as well.
October 1, 2008
Pros:
Cleared up acne on my face instantly. It is clear (and not a white cream) so you can apply it in the morning as well as at night time. I've only used it twice so far and I already see a huge difference.
Cons:
It can be pricey is you don't have health insurance. Original price was about $55.00.
I would highly reccommend this product. I have tried endlessly to get rid of my acne (on my face) and it just kept coming up. This product is quick and effective.
Pros:
-Quick results
-Easy to use
-The tube lasts for a long time
