This caused a severe reaction of redness and inflammation
on my face. It really hurts. PLease try a patch test first.

Well I cant really say it did much good, I carried on getting big pustules that left nasty red marks whilst on it, so I didnt find it very useful. Panoxyl left my skin red and sore and oxy on the spot left my face greasy.

I used proactiv for about a month, it did clear up my face a little bit but IT CAUSES A LOT OF DRYNESS AND PELLING, that very hurt, so I stop using it.

I have been using Benza-Clin with benzoyl peroxide in it for about a week, and it has helped clear my skin up a lot. My skin is very dry however, from this product so I have started spot treating with it instead of smearing it all over. I am satisfied but will probably switcht to a lower dose of BP when most of my acne is gone.
