I love this stuff! I first bought the extra strength solution, but that was too drying on my skin. This stuff is just right. It isn't drying in the least, even when applied all over my face,...

I have clogged pores on my nose and occasional (usually PMS) acne. Nothing tragic - just a red bump or whitehead or two. After reading Paula's skincare strategies, I decided to try a combination...

If I pat this on pimples than I don't have that much of a problem. But sometimes there's awful skin days where you feel like the more you put on the better your skin will look. Well, this is when...

This product gave me a horrible rash. I don't know what is in it that could have caused this, but if you are sensitive to BP products try a test patch first. I didn't get a rash like this from...

First, it felt sticky and heavy on my skin. It also stung my skin slightly.

Even while on retin-a micro, I've been having a tough time with hormonal pimples on my chin. Not just one, but five at a time, huge huge pimples that take forever to go away. I was reading on...

This is a basic BP product, no more drying than most others, but nothing like DDF 5%, whic is not drying at all. Pump is nice style, but product tends to dry on the tip then squirt in unexpected...

I have mixed feelings about this product. First of all, I love it because it makes my zits go away fast. But on the other hand it doesn't prevent them from forming again in different spots. I've...

I like Neutrogena On-The-Spot much better (basically the same 2.5% BP). Paula's is more liquidy, with worse packaging (the hole gets clogged), and you have to pay for shipping.

This is a great 2.5% Benz. per. product. Does not feel cakey or burn your skin off the way Clearasil & others do. Also, it is "lotiony" enough(not greasy) to smooth out & soak in so it can be worn...

I agree with Xepera. This product is pretty much the same as Neutrogena's On-the-Spot Acne Treatment, and is much less expensive.
