My dermatologist recently prescribed me and my sister a BenzaClin gel that is 5% Benzoyl Peroxide. It works fine for me. Should I use it or should I definately try to get a 2.5%, it doesnt over try but I have never thought of using moisturizer because I never knew it helped your skin and was non-comodegenic or whatever. Anyways it's kind of funny because what I have been doing recently has been clearing up my skin and seems oddly to follow your regimen exactly except for the moisturizer or soap bar part. My acne is not bad but I at times have small bad breakouts which take like a week or two to completely remove. I have just been coating my skin with BenzaClin in the problem areas 3 times a day maybe for the last 2 1/2 weeks. It has actually cleared up significantly, but i'm going to try to get it 100% clear. Your regimen sounds like a good idea, but some of these products I have but not the razor of choice, or the soap bar, i've been using this stuff thats good for shaving but i dont know if it was non-comodogenic. And yeah leaving on the wash stuff for a min or more makes it start to burn no matter what you use. And i stopped using Clean and Clear deep scrub(orange stuff) because after a while it started burning my face alot when I washed. And I would wait about 10 minutes after I had patted it dry before I applied BenzaClin gel. Funny how that is in your plan too. Lucky guess for I suppose. Anyways I dont like to talk about things like this but it seems everyone here is friendly. Right now my gf is gone till sunday and we wont see eachother till Monday - Wednesday probably and I have this bump to left side of my lip. Barely on outside of lip. Like that one spot you wouldnt thing to wash cuz it kind of curls inside ur mouth/lip. Anyways i've been putting benzaclin gel on it for 3 days and its slowly looking better but I think it wont be gone and unreddened for about another week. But it looks better everyday slowwwwly. Anyways thanks for any replies, and I will post updates. Later. This site is pretty cool, I was so pissed I had to do some reading. Also another thing, I hate looking pale, so I go tanning once a week to advanced tanners. It ussually makes me look pretty tan and hott without spending anytime outside on hot days. It doesnt aggrivate my acne really, I mean I suppose it barely does but not as much as they emphasize it does. I dont even notice a difference, cept sometimes the next day if I have acne I blame it on the tanning light, but I dunno, my dermotologist said it was okay when my mom called, he just said not to do it too much. I go tanning alot before I go on cruises, and let me tell u, when you have a clear face, tan, tall, bleached blonde hair, you are living 100x the person you were the day before, and 10x the life of people without acne. It's greatest gift you can get. Haha okay, later, REPLY!!

Wow, I didn't read the whole thing cause I'm too tired. But I will just quickly say: I've been on the regimen for about 9 months and I've always used 2.5 Percent. I did, however switch to 5 percent for about a week once and found that it was way too drying for me. I used moisturizer (as I do with my 2.5). Anyway... that's just me
