Acnecide : Benzoyl Peroxide (5%) Gel

I was a dedicated user of the Panoxyl 2.5% aquagel, which was unfortunately and famously discontinued in the UK. After a lot of freaking out and purchasing some dodgy aquagels from China, I decided to try this, despite the alcohol content. I was worried about the drying effects of the alcohol and the higher BP strength but I can honestly say that this is the BEST acne product I have ever used. The Panoxyl changed my life, made my acne manageable and predictable. Acnecide has eradicated my acne COMPLETELY. I will occasionally get the odd single pimple around certain hormonal times in the month but I haven't had a cystic pimple or in fact anything that is larger than the head of a pin or lasts longer than a day or two for over six months. One tube of this product has lasted me this whole time and I am nearing the end of it, tempted to stock pile it in case it is discontinued like the Panoxyl. I suffered no drying or flaking of the skin like I did when I first started using Panoxyl, in fact there was no negative change at all and I was worried it wouldn't work because I didn't notice it even being there (silly I know but from the amount of things I've tried and the drastic effects they've had initially, it's become expected). My daily regimen is very basic - Garnier Pure Active scrub, Garnier Active wash, Acnecide, Origins Ginzing moisturiser (oil free and a revelation, I will review this next). I would highly recommend giving this product a chance. It's not cheap at £15- £18 a tube but for me it is totally worth it.

I'm almost 24 y o male and I've tried almost anything for my back and face acne till I came to acnecide.yes,it's a bit expensive (10 £ for a tube) but u get what u pay for. in less than a month I completely got rid of my face acne but I still have some bacne,mostly because I wasn't using as regularly as I was using it on my face .Indeed I've experienced some litle disadvantages like redness, dryness ,I even burned my skin a couple of times. but nothing really beats that feeling when u look in the mirror and see a clean face

I went to the doctor about my depression and acne and she recommended acnecide. This gel is amazing! I have tried everything to remove spot scars and blemishes including baking soda and face washes but nothing worked and I felt terrible. This 5% benzoyl peroxide is LIFE CHANGING and made me have much more confidence in the way I look. I can go out now makeup free finally and don't have to cake my face in tonnes of foundation. It gives my skin a healthy glow. For me it doesn't dry my skin that much it actually feels moisturising after washing it off with just water. At first it feels dry but your skin will get used to it within a week! This cream worked in less than two days it's a miracle. I use quite a lot as it sinks in your skin fast but that's good. Just need a bigger tube! I get the odd spot but nothing like what it used to be I feel like a totally different person thanks Acnecide!

When I was 15 years old I got the implant it was going fine for about 6 months. I started to feel my face was starting to get really sore , boils & spots started show up & my face was all red & sore to touch or even sleep on. I then ended up with server acne. I was out on tablets , different creams & I even got referred to a skin specialist that's tried to put me on tablets that is actually been barred I America cause of the amount of sucides it caused , as they were giving people with mental health issues , server depression & server anxiety them without getting a letter from the doctor to see if it safe to give them the tablets. I thankfully got a letter from my doctor saying I'm not aloud to be giving the tablets the skin specialist wanted me to go on. I saw my doctor about a week or 2 after and he gave me acnecide to try to see if there would be any difference in my skin. I saw a massive change in my skin after a couple of weeks of using acnecide every night even sometimes I would put it on in the morning as well. Cause I have server acne for life I'm having to use the cream for the rest of my life just so it doesn't break out again. I now live with this skin condition for the rest of my life, I'm now 19 years old & My skin is now all back to Normal & is very smooth so I highly recommend acne cide to every one who is suffering or has been suffering for many years if acne. You would be able to see exactly how much there is a difference in your skin.

I love this cream. I have never had perfect skin but lately it's been really bad. Dermatologist said it's hormonal as it's all around my mouth and jaw area. I feel like I've tried everything but nothing works. I recently started using acnicide 5%. Been using it for about 3 days now. Morning and night over my entire face. Already I have seen amazing results. My skin is so dry but not sore at all. I apply this and then let it dry and put a tiny bit of savlon over the spots. I have also been taking lymecycline 408mg for about a week. My skin is clearing so quickly.

The first few weeks of using this were horrible, my skin went really red, dry and flaky. I decided to then buy the Cetaphil cleanser and moisturiser (which are recommended with the product) and I noticed a huge improvement and I also think my skin began to get used to it. I have now been using the product for 10 weeks and while I still get a few spots its no where near the amount I used to get and parts of my face are completely clear, as well as this my skin is also a lot less oily. I've heard that this product is a bit of a hit and miss and although it is quite expensive a little goes a long way, so one tube will last a while. The second to third week of using it were my worst, but I put on too much of it and didn't let my skin adjust, so I went round looking sun burnt in January, so my advice would be too start slowly and let yoyr skin adjust, but expect irritation. I also found sudocrem was good for dealing with any red patches. A website that I found useful was: [link removed] Hope this helps!

Ive had adult acne for 22 years . And I have to say this is the best by far . Of all treatments I've tried over the counter and prescribed. I use clearsail gentle skin perfecting wash too, its not over drying and moisturise as well . I can has senitive skin. This combination of skin care has worked for me. I DO NOT get any over drying , Itching or flaking skin

I've been on just about every acne treatment there is, including three courses of isotretinoin (Accutane). Accutane did clear me completely but after a couple of months being off it, my acne would return, although not as bad as it had before. After my last course of accutane I was left with mild/moderate acne and I felt nothing else could work. I looked back through my treatments and realized I'd never been offered a Benzoyl Peroxide based treatment. This is the only product as far as I know that contains BP that can be bought over the counter in the UK. I tried it as a last-ditch effort and the results have been great. I use it once or twice a day with a moisturizer and for me the dryness is not even noticeable. However, if you suffer from dry or sensitive skin, it may be too harsh.

I have always had combination skin with blocked pores (I'm now early 40s, and have always had a healthy lifestyle and diet). I very rarely get zits as such, but am always affected to a minor or major degree by watery blisters that pop up really quickly just under my mouth or in the laughter lines going up to my nose. Once they clear, I find a sebum plug but it's impossible to remove these in the early stages without totally destroying my face. But it doesn't stop me from squeezing and making a mess. I used to buy Quinoderm but when this was removed from sale, I put up with my bad skin or tried non over-the-counter stuff that didn't work at all. When I started breaking out massively again a few months ago, I decided to give Acnecide a go (thanks to reviews on this web site !). I was concerned about the "gel" texture, as gel usually leaves a sticky mess. However, it's a cross between a cream and lotion, and is very easy to apply, and it is invisible once rubbed in. It works really well on my skin. If I use it on a new area it might dry the skin a bit, but this doesn't concern me as the product is doing its job. I generally now use it every other night, and this keeps the zitty blisters at bay. I rarely have to use concealer any more. I think it's better than Quinoderm, as that was a very strong formula and if I got a trace onto any clothes or bedding, it would bleach them. I'm really glad I found this product as it's a bit of a life-changer for me.

This gel has completely changed my skin and for the better. Around 3 years ago I started to get Acne on my back, chest and face. At the time I wasn't really bothered by this but as I grew abit older and began to care more for my appearance, the acne began to become more of a problem. This is the only available Bp in the UK so I started using this gel and within a few weeks there was a massive difference. A year and half later my skin has fully adapted to the gel. This means I no longer even need to moisturize despite using the gel and the body wash, both at the same time. It is not cheap which is certainly a downside as I use rather alot of it. The bleaching, is by far the biggest downside to this product as it will destroy anything that isn't white. Even wearing a white t-shirt will not prevent bleaching on the layer above. But overall this is a small price to pay when the result(for me at least) is completely clear skin. I would recommend washing first with the wash and then following up with the gel as the gel on its own wasn't quite enough to completely clear my back and face.
