Acne.org Benzoyl Peroxide is the best BP product I've tried. I used it for about 3 years. The problem that I faced and the reason I stopped using it was because I started getting occasional cystic acne around my chin and jaw line after 2 years of use. The rest of my face was doing quite well. Had very few if any whiteheads and regular zits. I stopped using Benzoyl Peroxide when I moved to France, where it isn't legal over the counter, anywhere in the EU for that matter. I decided I wasn't comfortable using a product that has caused cancer in animals, or stains my clothes, towels, and sheets. Since going off Benz. Peroxide, I haven't had any cystic acne, but my face is more clogged overall, my forehead isn't as clear as it used to be. I am in the process of searching for an alternative that combats my oily/shiny skin and keeps away whiteheads/small zits.

Pros

  • kept away whiteheads, blackheads, typical zits
  • keeps oily skin from being shiny

Cons

  • Caused cystic acne
  • stains fabrics
  • potentially cancer causing
  • for more than a year
  • I do not recommend using this treatment.

Absolutely the best product I have tried for acne. It cleared completely my skin in less than a month! It burned a bit and dried my skin in the beginning, but I started using the jojoba oil after applying the product and no longer suffer any of these side effects. I just want to make certain that people understand that I did have severe acne and that not even prescription antibiotics helped as much as this product did. I am extremely pleased with the overall results and will recommend it to all those who suffer acne.

Pros

  • Clears skin rapidly
  • Maintains skin clear
  • Easy to apply

Cons

  • May dry and burn skin
  • for a few months
  • $ 16.52
  • I recommend using this treatment.

Pros

  • Good result
  • Price is okay
  • like the liquid form

Cons

  • for more than a year
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I suffered from cystic acne since the age of 13, and finally discovered this product from doing some serious internet research at the age of 26 (January 2012). Before using the treatment, I was using Clearasil Ultra (10% BP), and suffered from painful and chronic acne that left me suffering from a serious lack of self esteem. I got engaged at 25 and wanted very badly to have clear skin for my wedding in September 2012, so after reading all of the reviews I decided to give this product a try. I only purchased the BP treatment, and used it with Oil of Olay foaming face wash, along with Clean and Clear Dual Action Moisturizer (0.5% salicylic acid), and also began taking zinc every day, and my face immediately began to clear up within only a couple of weeks, if that. My face was completely clear and radiant for my wedding, with not a single pimple in sight in any of my wedding photos. I can't tell you how happy and confident this product has made me feel! My face has been the clearest that it has ever been since I was very young, and the cystic, painful acne has completely disappeared. I rarely get pimples now (April 2013), and my skin looks radiant and smooth. It's almost difficult to believe that this is even possible. I wish that I had discovered this product earlier, and avoided all of the pain that having horrible acne all those years caused me. If you are scouring the internet for a treatment for your acne, and are feeling like nothing will ever work, I am begging you to please try this product out. If you are using BP that is in high concentration, like I was, immediately stop because that is most likely the reason why you are breaking out so badly--it is very damaging and irritating to your skin, and in this case, less BP is definitely more!! Please take my word for it, and if you don't want to buy the entire regimen, at least try what I am using and see if it works for you! :) Good luck!!

Pros

  • Completely cleared cystic acne
  • smooth radiant skin
  • works quickly and is highly effective

Cons

  • None that I can think of
  • for more than a year
  • I recommend using this treatment.

  • Cheaper than drug stores by far!
  • Works wonders with the regimen!!!
  • Easy to apply, doesn't smell or stain and doesn't hurt

  • Not readily available
  • for about a week

I didn't want to put harsh chemicals on my face, as I'd had bad experiences in the past. But this product truly works, and works extremely well. There is no acne treatment out there that is as effective. NB I use the rest of the regimen products also - the moisturizer, AHA+, and the cleanser.

Pros

  • I'm 28 years old, and have had acne since I was 17. I went from large painful lumps all over my face, to have light acne via having an incredibly healthy diet. But despite everything, I'd still get light acne, and I'd never know when spots were going to show up and ruin my day. Benzoyl instantly cleared my face, making it clearer than it's ever been before, and I'm amazed that now it just stays like that. No redness. No inflammation. No scabs and scars. No spots. Feels amazing.

Cons

  • None that I can think of.
  • light
  • for a few weeks
  • $ 30
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I started using this when I had to stop Duac because of being pregnant. I tried to do natural acne treatments but they didn't work and when my doctor told me this was okay I went for it. My skin was a mess and I noticed this clearing up acne right away. It did take a good 8-9 weeks for my skin to clear up completely and for the post-acne redness to fade. This a great product and I will continue using it post baby! I also used Cetaphil gentle cleanser and Cetaphil lotion with this product.

Pros

  • Low % BP and gel form
  • Not overly drying
  • Will clear acne when given time to work

Cons

  • Not being able to buy it anywhere but online
  • moderate
  • for a few months
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I struggled with acne for many years and tried many different products. This is the only product that has been able to consistently control my acne to what is usually an unnoticeable level. I have been using the product for over a year and will continue to do so. Daniel Kern is a personal hero to me for creating this product.

Pros

  • Almost completely fixed my acne
  • Once it dries on my face it is basically invisible, so I don't worry about being seen with the medication on my face
  • Extremely good price for Benzoyl Peroxide

Cons

  • Dried out my skin initially (but after a few weeks my skin got used to it and the dryness stopped)
  • Causes a feeling of dryness in my eyes the next morning when I apply the product to skin on my upper cheeks overnight
  • Can cause bleaching if it gets on clothes (some of my t-shirts have some fading around the neckline from the product rubbing onto them)
  • very light
  • for more than a year
  • $ 16.03
  • I recommend using this treatment.

I would highly, highly recommend this product to anyone that needs BP. Another brand that sells 2.5% BP as a moisturizer only gives you a 1.7oz tube and it sells for $20! I have been using that until mine came in the mail and have been doing the regimen with the products I have and my skin has already done a complete turn around, so I was extremely happy to get Dan's better value products in the mail, as mine were high end and would be extremely expensive to continuing using those. I can't say enough great things about Dan's products! The regimen has changed my life, literally.

Pros

  • Inexpensive
  • Great Value
  • Easily absorbs into skin
  • WORKS wonders!

Cons

  • None
  • moderate
  • for a day or two
  • $ 32.03
  • I recommend using this treatment.
