Anyone got breakout from new benzoyl peroxide gel?

I have been using the new BP gel for a while.

Is there any ingredient change besides the micronized benzoyl peroxide? The new gel is making me feel a lot of discomfort.

I start getting small pimples from the new treatment like an allergy instead of a normal breakout.

So after 6 years of using acne.org, this might be the end. I will try other bp products on the market.

In my opinion, the old formula worked well. I don't get the need for a re-formula. After all, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Hmm. Most people tell me that the new Treatment works better and is less irritating.

Nothing about it changed other than the benzoyl peroxide raw ingredient that I put in there. So I'm wondering what might be going on. The only thing I can possibly think is that you may have had some clogged pores and the new Treatment is bringing them to the surface.

How long have you been using it? Have a picture?

And yes, if you for some reason can't use this new Treatment (which I really wouldn't be able to understand why that would be the case chemically speaking) you can try other brands.

Hi, long time Acne.org BPO user here. Started using it end of 2007/2008. Long enough to know I know the skin routine, variables, and the game.

I just bought a new DK BPO bottle (only buy from DK including face wash) end of Aug, lot 813 exp 2/26 and the past week being able to use it, my skin has broken out worse, worse than before ever being on BPO. Inflammatory acne, small red pustules that pop, and cysts. 10 at least all around my nose and smile lines, between my eye brows, above my eyebrows, under my eyes. Now spreading to forehead and chin, which is extremely rare areas for me. This has been matter of days, so no new skin stuff, i dont wear makeup, no new shampoos, laundry items, etc I know the routine. Not itchy, not fungal, looks allergic but its not, just inflamed.

I can verify this DK BPO experience is also happening to me.
