Pros:

clear up the spots
make skin look smoother
inexpensive

Cons:

dries out the skin
new spots are still appearing

I am using PanOxyl 10% Acnegel which had helped me (it still does) a lot! I got really severe acne when I moved to Thailand and after reading a review on benzoyl peroxide I decided to give it a try! At first my skin was red, then it got dry and flaky (originally I have oily skin) and finally I realized that it works! Usually I apply it to my face once a day, covering the spotted areas. I tend to get more breakouts before my period, if so I use it twice a day. Yes, it makes my skin oily and dry at the same time (because of the hot and humid weather) but I try to balance it by using moisturising facial wash (Cetaphyl or Smooth-E). It doesn't stop me from breaking out though, so I'm planning to try accutane in nearer future but I'm not going to stop taking PanOxyl by any means!

Pros:

It looks good at first....in the bottle

Cons:

Makes son flaky and I look older plus bp is also bad for your skin it can cause some skin cancer

If you using this I think you should stop even though it might be working it's going to damage our skin in the future everyone try something natural...

If You want a CHEAP BP that actually works go to rite aid and get the white bottle that says acne gel, It says rite aid on it as well. That stuff works amazingly.!!

Pros:

- The smell is not horrible
- The consintency is great

Cons:

- I was burning so much, felt like thousand wasps on my face
- My lips were a little bit swollen
- My face was super red
- I was peeling (but not EXTREMLY; just because i have been using this only for 4 days)
- I just felt like my face is going to "melt away"

I guess I am allergic to BP or my skin is just so sensitive. I wanted it to work! I am so unhappy now. I really believe it works (still), I guess I was just so unlucky. I would say, give a try! It will probably work for you, unless you have sensitive skin. If your skin tends to become red after applying stronger lotions (the ones that containes sal. acid, etc. - "strong" ingridients), you will probably react to BP the way I did. Be careful. And do a little research before trying BP. (The cost I wrote is for the whole kit)
