Summary: Good
Comment: I like it. It doesn't make my face super shiny. However, it makes my face feel thick (it's not that bad). So far my blemishes seem smaller.

Summary: Excellent product!

Summary: some reduction
Comment: I like this product and have returned to using it when the drugstore is out of my usual on-the-spot treatment. I use this product only at night - when the cream dries, it does leave a little flaky residue - for this reason, I would recommend using it only at night or other times when you aren't going to be out in public. It can dry out your skin a little. In the morning, I have noticed that my blemishes are much less noticable, though there are better on-the-spot treatments out there that do jsut as good of a job reducing blemishes and aren't quite as drying.

Summary: worked alright but I found it very drying
Comment: blasted the spots off but...my skin peeled and felt raw and I wasn't putting on loads of the stuff. maybe it's because I have overly sensitive skin...?

for emergency uses

Summary: Product DOES work but takes time
Comment: First off, I use Clean & Clear Persa-Gel 10 every once in a while for really demanding blemishes; it seems to dry them out - REALLY dry them out - much quicker. And I guess this is really the reason I don't use it on a regular basis. It's just too drying, and I have oily skin. (I can only imagine what it would do to dry skin.) Anyway, it does work. Don't get me wrong. But you'll probably end up peeling and just really, really dry; so, be prepared.

What I love about THIS particular product (Neutrogena) is that it essentially packs the punch of Persa-Gel 10 without drying your face out. And I guess the way it does this is that because it has a lower concentration of benzoyl peroxide, its effectiveness is spread out over a longer period of time; the results are not as immediate. Persa-Gel on the other hand, is so strong that yes it works faster, but the downside is that it'll dry you out. And recovering from that will take days.

On another note, what really sold me on Neutrogena's product was that it was in fact made by Neutrogena. Why is this important you ask? Well. Neutorgena also manufactures Retin-A Micro (Tretinoin Gel), which is a godsend for acne sufferers. It is available by prescription only. (Imagine that... a Neutrogena product you'd need a prescription for.) Anyway, if Neutrogena's good enough for my dermatologist to prescribe me Retin-A Micro, which she has done; then, it's good enough for me to trust an over-the-counter, on-the-spot benzoyl peroxide treatment.

Then again, it's Johnson & Johnson that owns BOTH Neutrogena and Clean & Clear (the manufacturers of Persa-Gel).

Nevertheless, both products are great, and they work. Just know that one is going to dry you out more than the other; so, if you're looking for a long-term regimen, definitely invest in Neutrogena's On-the-Spot Treatment.
