Excellent benzoyl gel, absolutely the best. Very well priced. Glad they made the shipping prices more reasonable bc I only use the benzoyl and the oil and will never reach the free shipping threshold. If used exactly as outlined by the regimen, the drying can get pretty crazy. I actually only use the benzoyl at night and about half the amount called for. For me that seems just as effective, without the drying. I also use a different moisturizer which helped me. The key is to be patient and figure out what works best for you. I've been clear because of this gel for years. I had tried everything previous to this without success, but now my skin looks amazing.

It takes quite a while for any regimen to show actual results, assessing after a week really only makes people crazy. Peeling is normal and should reduce once your skin gets used to the treatment. If not, increasing moisturizer or use of jojoba oil helps. Or reduce application of the benzoyl to once per day. As for the whiteheads, those are typical at the beginning of most regimens and is typically referred to as purging. It tends to clear quickly.
