Benzac AC : Benzoyl Peroxide (5%) Gel

good product to clear up acne.. but not to prevent acne to pop up..

This is a great cleanser, and since I bought it last time they've changed the formulation, yay! The first time I bought Benzac AC it was a watery liquid with a few grains in it, now it's a creamy cleanser with no exfoliating grains in it, which makes it much more agreeable to the skin. Still, the 5% can be difficult to tolerate if you have sensitive skin so I've mixed it half and half with my Paula's Choice cleanser (a line I highly recommend too, BTW). The difference to my skin was almost immediate. Highly recommended.

I guess it really depends on your skin type & how bad your acne is, I have oily skin and I've had moderate-severe acne since I was a teenager. Went on Roaccutane and that sort of cleared and dried up my face for about a year, then I started getting mild acne. I'm so glad I found this site, first time I ever considered applying medication on my face. I haven't seen any drugstores here selling Benzac 2.5%, it starts at 5%, that's why I started with Panoxyl. I guess since I'm using this now I shouldn't go back down to 2.5%. Been using this for about 2 weeks now and I'm very happy with the results. Don't forget to moisturize!

It is cheap, it works, i have acne for like 4 years, and it works really fast, your skin will get better and better everyday, it takes away scars, and acne.

Obviously everybodys skin is different so I'm not going to pretend that BENZAC is going to eliminate the global issue of acne altogether - but I'm pretty certain it's effective for the majority of people, defintely worth a try. Speaking personally, I haven't had a walk-in-the-park experience with acne. I've had it since year 3 (9 years old) and I'm now in grade 11 (17 years old) and still battling with it. Everybody says they've used "every single damn product!" , but when I say it, I really have used every single damn product! I found Benzac AC last year in December, I'd practically given up but I used it anyway. It took months but it cleared up my skin like nothing else. For the first time since I was 8 years old, I had beautiful clear skin. It was pretty inspiring. Result wasn't permanent, when I stopped using the product it came back, I'm now back on it again permanently, working like a charm. Good luck to others out there.

this product did not work for me - i have suffered acne for 8 years, and have tried pretty much everything - incl. roaccutane. Benzac has not helped at all... infact i believe it has actually worsened it... has anybody else had the same issue?

it works really well..just six days ago i was crying cuz my face really broke out with lotsa big and red bumps...now they're dried up and im just waiting for the dry skin on those spots to fall off....

Works fast, yest drying skin is an issue other than that i highly reccomend this product.

This is definitely the best acne cream that I have found. You get a lot for what you pay, it works well, pleasant and easy to use. Even after Accutane took care of most of my acne, I ALWAYS keep a tube of 10% Benzac around, because it works so well, and clears up any pimple pretty much overnight. 2 thumbs up!

This works so well! I am only using the 2.5% benzac but have suffered from acne for 9 years. i have tried everything, roacutane, creams, antibiotics,spent hundreds of dollars at the caci clinic and none worked. Then i tried this,my acne has cleared up and just in time for my wedding!
