Benzoyl Peroxide Reviews

ok, i am certainly a victim of disfiguring acne. Its funny, while im broken out, people dont talk to me as much, i dont feel quite as confident about myself, and my social life suffers. However, when my skin is clear I'm king, and girls are trying to get friday night. Untill I started breaking out, mirrors were my best friends. I started using 2.5% BP and i've fallen in love with reflective surfaces all over again. i experience some drying, but not enough that cant be solved with moisturizer. btw, i never would have gotten some of the ideas i have if not for this site.

Just ordered PanOxyl 2.5% aquagel in. Hoping it will work. For those of you worried about sensitivity to the benzoyl peroxide, my prof says the water based (aquagel) may help. Also only applying every other day may help.

I've been using Benzac AC for about a year and it has been the best thing I've tried. I tried 2% but then upped it to 10% cos I thought more must be better right? NO, 10% is EVIL - I couldn't control the dryness and flakiness it caused. So I've switched to 5%. It dries the skin out a bit and makes you very photosensitive so an SPF moisturiser is a must. Also, it wrecks your clothes and towels if you're not careful. The BP products you buy at the chemist are WAY better than stupid Proactiv.

I've tried bp on and off for the past 2 years. I had such great skin, but soon as puberty hit, it got really pocked with acne. It also got really sensitive and oily to the point where I would wake up to a soggy pillow!
The bp relly helped with the marks, but i don't know if it was because of my high sensitivity to it. I would apply a thick layer of the bp to my mark, and after a continuance of living it on for 3-4 days (weekends, not during school), I would be able to peel the mark off in a sheet, leaving evenly toned skin behind! The first time it happened, it was after i had guessed that leaving it on in a thick splat would bleach it faster. i couldn't have been happier with the results as it turned out!

well for starters i tried bp lotion all over my face,i think im allergic to it because i got a dark patch with like 3 pimples on it on my face where i hadent gotten a breakout in about a year so i think it doesn t work.switching to salicylic acid hope this works.

Hi, i'm using bp and i used it for 2 days and i think it got worse cause black scars started to come on my face and i go really mad so i stopped i might try clindamycin but i'm scared because the warning said it can result in patient's death becuse you get bloody dierria but people said it clears your face.

hiya-its me again,jus wanted 2 say how fins were gettin on,iv completed a course at school & my skin is doin great,still got and get som spots, but no where near as many as i used to have.I belive stress is a main cause so my advise is to stay calm and cool-although thatcan b hard when your at college like me,& since we all live in such a hectic world!The blemishes have also really gone down and left behind lovly pale white skin-although with som scars-but not 2 many.i feel so much more happyier and now i can speak 2 people without my head2the ground.i fink no product will ever get fulli rid of acne,but you can find things 2 help untill you grow out of it=which will happen!use T tree & vit E as well as sea salt when you clean your skin-mix them all in water once daily, i use Biore ice cleanser-bit expensive but gentle on skin and cleans deep down-can find at Superdrug!i take a multi vit as well as evening primrose oil 1500g a day-this works really well 4 me,so try it ifu want?eat healthy-bt not 2 the extrem-i found that out the horrible way!be strong & never give up, ur not the only one out there as i found out b4 danxx

Was using 10% at first but this was WAY to drying and irritating for me so my derm put me on 5% and ever since i had less dried up skin and less of that after burn after you apply it. It still burns to some degree but not as bad. Its working pretty good, I hope to see some good results in the future. Im using this with Retin-A and Minocycline.

working so far, been using it morning and evening for 2 weeks. its drying out exisitng acne and less acne is comming up i hope it wil contunie to be effective. slightly drying but nothing unbearable. im on 5% and its free cos i live in the uk!

I've used BP products for a long time now. Unfortunataly it appears it no longer works against my acne. I'm looking into other methods now. It is nice to note that BP caused little dryness (if I used a low %) and really reduces oil on my face, however I feel it can irritate in other ways causing redness. So by all means try it if you havn't, it's one of the best OTC methods, IF it works. But if your acne starts coming back, try something else.
