Benzac AC : Benzoyl Peroxide (5%) Gel

do not use it the whole face i had applied it the whole face 1 time after that my skin got redness and itchiness alot and it dried off my skin and peel...but if you applied on the acne spot then it helped abit but you need to be patient to see the results

Give it a try. Didn't work for me but might work with you When I first bought this and used, it started working (slowly) within one week. I initially had no irritation or dryness - but that was probably due to the fact I had smothered my face with salicylic for the past few months allowing time for my skin to build up and endure the chemicals- (Clearasil). After that week, my skin started peeling and my pimples were more visible. The blackheads on my nose did not all go away. I seem to have concluded that they won't go away unless I pop them .. leaving a pore which gets clogged up leading to another black head. I was pretty much going to give up, but I was told to continue it for 8 weeks because that was when I'd likely see the results. It's 8 weeks soon and I still pretty much am back at square one. But this time instead of having little red pimples, I am developing cystic type pimples that are deep within the skin especially on my forehead and around my temples. From these results, I believe that my acne isn't a result of a dirty face, but a result of hormonal changes requiring a more clinical approach. I've decided to go to the doctor to get his opinion. I am hoping to get prescribed some antibiotics to help reduce the inflammation of the cystic pimples as they hurt. I wear glasses as well and the frame is constantly pressing against them. Sometimes it hurts when I blink as well. Anyway, I'd suggest trying it. It's something I believe would work for those with mild-moderate acne, even though it didnt work with me. If you don't get results, don't fret. Go see you GP. You'll definitely get rid of it in the future with or without products and prescription.

After differingel made my mild acne moderate, a friend recommended me Benzac. I was so broken at this time because my acne got so much worse because of Differin, so I tried Benzac. IT CLEARED THE ACNE IN 1WEEK!! After 2 days I did not get a single spot anymore. I thought I found a Miracle cure. BUT: After maybe 3 months I got spots again, it is not as bad as it was before, but it does not work as good as at the beginning and I have to search for other cures. It is just the face thats breaking out again, my back and my chest remain clear. My skin is flaking but it does not bother me because I can combat it with moisturizer and I dont use make up, oh and the first 3 weeks my skin was red, but thats normal. It is worth a try!

I was using both 10% and 5% from april till end of august. I was pretty happy with results, even locally it dries out the skin. Unfortunately when you stop using it acne comes back so intensive as before! Unfortunately after i have started to use this product i have got a strange reaction around my eyes - they got red, were itching, got swollen....also near nose and in the corners of the nose the skin became very dry and it was really disturbing. I didn't know that this product can cause it. But i was by the doctor and checked myself for allergies and i have none of them. So we found out that it was benzoyl peroxide that caused my neurodermitis. After i stopped using everything got good as usual. So you have to be very careful! use it only local on the points of acne!

im loving it so far. only on it a week though. hope the good results keep up.

i'v just started using benzac and i am loving what i'm seeing so far. hope to see more in the upcomming days

tyring!

need to be VERY patient

It works well but the iching is unbearable when i put it on at nights

I gave it a good shot, but wasn't for me. I used it for 9 weeks and once i stopped treatment my skin went crazy! Ive had skin issues for 8 years now..its a never ending battle. My friend uses benzac and it has worked wonders for her. It really depends on ur skin. If you have sensitive skin...STAY AWAY otherwise it could be beneficial.
