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:
Takes awhile for it to work.
Did not work for me, but the only Pro about it is it was free from my doctor (he gave me the whole entire sample box!)

Pros:
Its awesome! I started using it and at first I didnt notice much but within a week I was amazed! I reccomend this item to everyone!
Cons:
It drys out your face just a litttttle little bit, only where you use it, throw some moisturizer on that and your perfect!
I recommend this its a good product and well worth it, you will be happy! I've tried Proactive but I had a allergic reaction my whole face swoll up red and it always burned and dried my face out this is the item to buy!

Pros:
this gel is amazing! I've used this for around a week now and I noticed a big huge difference already! Even my boyfriend noticed the big change!
Cons:
my skin gets really dry after applying this.
Continue to use this gel and remember to put moisturizer on your face in the morning and at night time to keep the dryness away.

Pros:
Less Redness
Clearer Skin
Acne goes away fast
Cons:
Dry skin
Wow, Just wow. I've been on this product for not even a week and I am already getting compliments on how my skin is clearing up! This stuff is the real deal! After being on pro-active for months and seeing barley any results I am glad that this product was brought in to my life. Its been about 5 days and the redness is going down every day, the zits under the skin are almost completly gone and I feel great! This was my face before the treatment: [link removed]>
And let me tell you its almost 10% clearer, there is still some redness but its going away more and more everyday! Stick to this product if you have acne like in my picture. It works wonders and has really boosted my confidence. Though some dryness occurs its only at night, use cetaphil after a shower in the morning and it hels alot! Lastly ENJOY THIS STUFF, it really has worked miracles for me.

Pros:
Very cheap, easy to use, doesnt bother the skin
Cons:
All the warnings make me kind of scared. IE: bleaching, flaky skin
I have been using it for a couple days and so far so good, im pretty pleased with the results. Keep in mind i didnt have that terrible of acne but I'm using proactive aswell as this and it seems to be keep everything under control. Hopefully it keeps up! Good luck, I realize acne can be a really big pain.

Pros:
it helps with light to medarate acne. sometimes it can even make your skin glow. while on it you rarely get large pimples only a couple small ones
Cons:
doen't fully clear skin, bleaches clothes, runs out quickly, makes your skin very red and sometimes burns
If you have light acne and you just wan to zap away those couple zits it mostly works. You have to be patient and very consistent however if you want clearer looking skin its worth it. If you have a health plan, you should be able to afford it. Just try it out, can't permanently damage you.

Pros:
very good skin for 2 years now
apply @ night and great skin in AM
i think i might heal the skin too
Cons:
(used to) dry out skin - gets used to it
w long-term use will my skin age quickly?
Apply @ night and leave it on all day
Also, zinc + lots of water = clear complexion

Pros:
It works better than any OTC regimen out there. It is because of the strength of the benzyl peroxide. No OTC can ever compare, so stop wasting your money and get a prescription.
Cons:
NONE!
This really works... stop wasting your money on other products. I never thought I would have clear skin. I would always wear makeup and fear for someone to see me without it, and then wearing make all the time makes your skin worse. After using this product for a month or two my skin is completely clear. I wish I would have known about this product earlier. Now I do not have to wear foundation, my skin is flawless! It's a good look!

Pros:
Seems to work very well so far.
Cons:
I'm soooo pissed off! The Bleach in that cream ruined my new nice set of towels and brand new 800 thread count (not cheap) Bed Sheets I was as careful as I could but now everything is garbage!!! BEWARE!!!!
Hmm, Most of the cost was covered by insurance, it's helping acne matters. But I'm out $500.00 worth of linen in 3wks!
Pros:
Works well for shrinking zits.
