Benzac AC : Benzoyl Peroxide (5%) Gel

I use the 5% wash once a day, leaving the wash on for 5 minutes. The wash started working almost immediantly although the major marks took about a week to really smooth out and about a week and a half to start fading. I had some really small marks on my forehead that really disappeared after two days of use. I suffer from PCOS and this has cleared the dark spots on my checks. I do agree that this product dries out the face but that is part of the healing process. I have used a product called cera.... (I can't remeber the full name) and It moister my face without leaving it greasy. As many have said long term use is needed it is a daily regimine, I also use retin a at night which also helped my acne.

I used panoxyl aquagel before it was discontinued in 2012 and searched for a product that could deliver the same results. After months of using different products I finally found this product from australia and have been using the 10% version ever since. Makes my skin feel clean and smooth while delivering the same results I got from panoxyl. If your skin can handle benzoyl peroxide then you must check this product out. It comes in strengths of 2.5%, 5% and 10% and can be found on ebay.

This is hands down the best acne medicine I have ever used. I highly recommend it.

I was recommended this by my chemist when i went in the one day i had severe Acne on my chin within a week it was gone i now use it as a spot treatment and it is excellent i highly recommend BENZAC 5% it has changed my life

i started to see instant results and was clearing up my acne right away but u need to use moisturiser after otherwise it strips your face dry.

This thing cleared my acne for about a month and a half! I looove it! This thing works for me very well! I also use clean and clear essential facial foam , and nivea cream to moisturize my face. Please try my regimen This might work for you , and it also might not work for you. But atleast you tried it! :)

I used Benzac W 5, i assume it is the same product, or at least very similar since it is made by the same company. I started using this because my face got so bad, i was covered in a ton of nodules and cysts, and my face was starting to scar. I got really depressed over it, and out of desperation bought this product because other things i did were not working. When i first used this in the first couple weeks my skin was SOO dry, red and itchy. It was almost unbearable but i could see my skin was improving a little so i continued to use it. This definitely made a noticeable decrease in my acne, i took off my makeup after about 3 weeks of using this and was told my skin looked way better. I would say about 80% of my acne is cleared. i think once the hyper-pigmentation has faded i would be fine going out of the house without makeup, where as before i wouldnt be caught dead. If you can get through the part where you skin is insanely dry, its completely worth it. Just get a good moisturiser and this could solve you acne problem.

It's so far been a great acne cream. Dries out skin and makes skin flaky but using alot of oil-free moisturiser is helping a fair bit. Overall, this product id great for anyone with light acne to sever acne. I'm only using 2.5% and it's done wonders already. Love it.

I have struggled with bad acne since i was 11. I had zits on my forehead, cheeks, temples and chin, and blackheads/whiteheads under my eyes, on my nose and on my chin. My acne has always made me very insecure, and sometimes i couldn't even look at myself in the mirror. A year ago (i'm almost 16 now) i began covering it up using makeup, but i still felt so insecure and uncomfortable. I was always so paranoid, thinking that people were staring at my skin and jugding me for it. I have always used natural masks and treatments to cure my acne (or at least make my skin better), and i have tried to remove dairy from my diet thinking that it might be the reason for my acne, but nothing helped. I have always had a strict night and morning skin routine and just done anything to help clear my skin. The only thing i hadn't tried, was to put anything chemical on my skin. I had heard a lot of horror stories about bad reactions and i was so scared it would happen to me. Then two months ago my skin got so bad that i almost broke down crying just looking at myself. So i bought this 5% gel. I honestly didn't think that it would make a difference, and the first 5 days nothing happened. I noticed immediately that my skin got more dry, but my acne didn't change. But after those first 5 days, my skin became a lot smoother, and after a couple of weeks, i could see a difference. I did struggle with dryness and my face could feel a bit painful, but it was worth when i saw and felt the difference in my skin. Its been two months now , and the acne on my forehead, chin, and on the sides of my face, has mostly cleared up. My skin has become more dry, but i just use a good moisterizer to conrol it. I still struggle with some zits on especially one of my cheeks, and blackheads on my chin, but overall my face has cleared up A LOT, and i am now more confident with and without makeup.

Get this because it works!
