Pros:

works really well and really fast (:
no other cleansers work for me.

Cons:

um... dries out skin, burns for a bit when you put it on, and I find that if I use it every day my nose will be reddish and skin will peel.

works best if you use it every day to get rid of acne/pimples, then only once or twice a week to control your skin, i've found.

Pros:

My pimples cleared up and made my skin less oily :)

Cons:

It's a bit drying though and I still have a few blackheads on my nose and cheeks.

Overall, it's a great product! :) I've been using it for 3 years and it works wonders. When I tried to stop using it a couple of months ago, my skin went crazy and started breaking out. I immediately started using it again, and after a week, my skin looked a lot more like that of a human's. :) I'm never gonna stop using it again.

Really cleared my acne...

Cons:

I stopped using it and my acne came back and I am using it again but it starting to make my skin feel moderately ichy...this have never before....am i suddenly allergic to it? or is this normal? If it's normal, should i continue using it?

It works well but the iching is unbearable when i put it on at nights

Pros:

very effective against oiliness and pimples, helps dry them out and kill bacteria

Cons:

can burn the skin if you're not used to it. Not nice having to go to sleep lying carefully so as not to disturb the cold icky stuiff on your face.

Use this (or the stronger one, 10%) if you have severe acne. I have been using it for over 15 years off and on and would never go anywhere without stashing a tube for flare ups. But use sparingly at first if you've got sensitive skin.

Pros:

It hass been the only treatment to sucessfully clear my acne, dries everything right out and even helps to somewhat vanish previous acne scarring

Cons:

Sometimes out of stock at the store :(

The Best stuff ever beacuse it has a high concentration of Benzoyl Peroxide (5%/10%) it really dries out acne quickly. I started to see results by the 2nd and 3rd day. It's not expensive at all and it works. I found that other acne products that contain salycic acid dont work at all, or if they do they clear up 1 zit but replace it with 5 new ones. I strongly recommend this product, especially to people with oily to very oily skin
