Main ingredient is a por clogger do not use
Just wanted to give an FIY to everyone here to steer clear of this product, it contains laureth 4 which is a known pore clogger. I have an entire list of pore clogging ingredients and check every product, this is what has helped me clear me acne, but this product is a no go and counter productive.

This plus differin cured my acne!
I am 25 and have had moderate acne for years. I use this product with differin and only apply it at night. I stopped using facial cleansers and just let the water hit my face in the shower occasionally. This combination has cleared all my acne. I have to make sure I don't miss a day because I can guarantee I will see a pimple three days after the day I missed. Wonderful product.

BEST COUNTER PRODUCT FOR ACNE!
If you want to get rid of redness, acne, pimples, and dark spots/scars, this product is the "one" to use! I've discovered this product last summer, and it has been helping me keep my skin clear ever since!! I would not recommend this to people who have sensitive/extremely sensitive skin as the concentration of BP is pretty high (10%). You can apply this everyday, if your skin is normal (not too sensitive). It can work miracles overnight..GOSH it's a must have product..if you are suffering from acne/pimples.

BP does work, but I hate using it
This is just a maximum strength (10%) Benzoyl Peroxide cream. BP does work to clear my small bump acne, although I hate using it and hate that my clean skin relies on it so heavily. It's really like the only topical cream that actually works. However, I always try to find a store brand BP (like up & up at Target, or Kroger has a good one) that are just as good but cheaper than the name brand BP creams. but ACTUALLY, I've recently tried to stop using BP, and am attempting to replace it with natural treatments. Right now I'm using melaleuca and lavendar essential oils and for the first time in forever (like 15 years!!!!) I feel like my skin can be clear WITHOUT benzoyl peroxide and harsh acne treatments. The best part is I know exactly what I am putting on my face, and I know it's all good stuff. Let me know if you want more information or an update on how my new routine is going!

TOO POWERFUL
This product was way to powerful on my skin, it left my skin red, swollen, and irritated, when I put it on as a moisturizer overnight I expected to wake up with smoother skin, less redness, and at least some improvement, instead I woke up to a burning sensation around my cheeks and eyes and a face so swollen I could barely open my eyes it was horrible wouldn't recommend it if you have sensitive skin.

If you still get on here, did your face ever clear up from the red and puffiness?  I just used this and got a ugly red spot uner my eye and extremely dry face now.  I am not happy

Clogs pores
Sadly...this did not work, it made my skin worse. It has bad ingredients that clog my pores like laureth-4!

DON'T DO IT!!!
I tried this product out last night and woke up this morning with my entire face being BRIGHT RED. I spot treated the cream on only a few spots on my cheeks and chin but by the morning everything was inflamed all the way down to my lower neck!!!!.!!?? It itches and burns like crazy! And even worse I feel acne bumps coming up under the already inflamed skin!!! So not only do I have a rash, but I now have even more/worse acne than before. How pleasant. Just be careful before using this product!! :/

Did your red and puffiness ever go away?  I wish I would have researched before buying and using.  I got a ugly red spot under my eye from this and its puffy.
