Seriously a miracle!

Pros:

Works great, FAST!
Dries out pimples very quickly.
So cheap.

Cons:

Dryness is good and bad, quite irritating, but very effective.

This product is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I was so skeptical, since I bought it for literally a dollar on sale at Dollar General. But, it's only a dollar, so why not? I've always been apprehensive about benzoyl peroxide treatments because of my sensitive skin, and this one having 10%, I almost didn't even want to put it on my face. Boy, am I glad I did. I've suffered from mild to severe acne over the past seven years, trying everything from prescription, to natural, and to nothing. I use it with Johnson and Johnson Purpose gentle cleanser, a hypoallergenic, soap free cleanser that I can almost swear by. At first, I didn't experience any dryness or redness. I do now, but I really like the burning dryness. It makes me feel like I'm really killing the pimples. If you do experience dryness, even if it itches or burns, DON'T PUT MOISTURIZER ON IT YET. Let it dry out your pimples over night, and then use an extremely moisturizing lotion the next morning. After just one day, the redness and size of the pimples went down tremendously. After two days, it's just a small scab. It is the best product for people who are just ready to give up. I've even put it on a cyst, and it shrunk up to a small white head in just four days. It does not prevent the pimples, but it does kill the ones already present.

Pros:

-drys out zit, FAST.
-very, very amazing results OVERNIGHT.
-won't overdry, unless you put it on the whole face a lot.
-very cheap.
-works greatttt.
-better then ANY acne product I have used & trust me I've used more than my fair share.

Cons:

-it somewhat overdries the skin, but if you use a nice light moisturiser you should be fine.

This acne product works better then most I've used & is very effective and inexpensive. Not many people carry it. But DOLLAR GENERAL does, thats where I got mine. I would definetley reccomend this too anyone that is tired of suffering from acne. :))

Pros:

OMG this stuff is great!!!! I use it with a BP face wash that is avail at wal mart for 4 bucks with a script

Cons:

NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have had bad acne all my life I have tried every thing even a derm dr who had me on 1000 dollars worth of meds for my combo acne nothing worked I got so frustrated and broke I saw this one day and For a buck I said why the hell not. I love it I have been using it for 5 years in the morning with just a mild none soap face wash, at night after a benzyl peroxide face wash. It works wonders no drying skin or burning or peeling. Just be careful in the sun as with all acne treatments you are extra sensitive. My problem now is my dollar general stopped selling it ..WHY?????

Acne sufferer
I used a steroid on my face for 13 days and when I stopped using it, I got soo many rash like pimples on my face. I was told to buy clear zit 10% benzoyl peroxide. Day 1 and it seems to have reduced the inflammation of some pimples. I'll give an update in a week but so far so good. I personally like the burning sensation, makes me feel like it's sending the pimples to hell. I'll rate it 2 stars for now, let's see if my condition improves in a week.

HORRIBLE!
I do NOT recommend this product!!! I experienced a horrible burning sensation! At first I thought it was just tingling, like regular products do,but no it's not like that at all!! When I wiped it off, I has horrible discoloration to my face, you could see exactly where I had applied the cream. And I had horrible irritation and redness. I literally cried, at the way my face looked after taking it off. I will NEVER use this or any associated product again!! I DO NOT recommend to anyone!!

A product that saved my life
I am an older women with adult acne. I would not even take pictures. I tried all the big name products and none of them worked for me. I have battle with this adult acne for seven years now. I went into a dollar store and decided to try Dr. Sheffield Clear Zit Acne Cream. One reason was because the box reminded me of the old ways of the south any way i tried it and within a couple of days i got results three weeks later i"m ready to take pictures again. I and my husband will be taking our first picture together. I just wanted to thank you for giving me life back giving me my smile back. Great product.
