Acne.org : Treatment (Benzoyl Peroxide - 2.5%)

I had Acne as a teenager and had gone to a dermatolgist, she of course wanted me to go on accutane, once I heard the side effects it scared me at 16, I tried several other products with no success. Eventually my acne went away and I attributed to being a teenager. When I turned 25 my acne came back, but was much worse! I tried EVERYTHING.. differn gerl, proactic, vitamins, expensive department store products and etc. Nothing worked for me... I stumbled on to this site looking for reviews on other products. Still frustrated with nothing working I started searching this site more and found the store.. I thought hmm, it's inexpensive what do I have to lose? and I ordered the product. After about 2 weeks I had people complimenting on how good my skin looked and wanted to know what I was using. I was so excited to find something that final works! You have saved me! It's so awesome to find something so great!

I really like Dan's philosophy, and think it works great for a lot of people. But if you have sensitive skin, PLEASE avoid using the BP. You don't want to end up with broken capillaries like mine.

I'm not a person with much acne in the first place, but every week before my period and during I would break out just a bit, maybe two or three big pimples on my forehead. It doesn't sound bad, but up close they look awful and were extremely painful. Once I used this treatment though, it goes away in an extremely short amount of time. If I catch it before the acne breaks through my skin, I can even get rid of it before it really shows. Overall, this product works amazingly as an on-the-spot acne treatment. I can't live without it, and I always try to recommend it to my friends who have tried products like pro-activ and the new system by Clean and Clear. They haven't gotten the best results, but have expressed interest in this product because of my clear skin as a result of it. I have extremely dry and sensitive skin as well, so this product is my holy grail product! Thanks Daniel for creating such a wonderful product, and keeping my skin clear!

If this doesn't work, I think it is an indication that you need to treat from the inside out. I decided, after trying this, antibiotics, salicylic (which works better for me btw), benzaclin, and others to try oral contraceptives and spironolactone orally and retin-a topically. After 2.5 years I think I am making a lot of progress.

If you are suffering from acne, you owe it to yourself to really give the regimen an honest try. I had written off bp as something that didn't work for my acne until I came across this website during a serious bout of acne. I have faithfully followed the regimen for the past 3 months and it has drastically reduced the severity of my acne. This product is of high quality and for a very reasonable cost when you consider how long it lasts. I'm still on my first bottle! But, as with any bp product, it will dry your skin. I have sensitive combo skin that is oily in the T-zone. Even though I am in my 4th month of the regimen, I am still not to a full pump of bp! I have had to go very slow in increasing the bp or else my skin gets extremely dry and irritated. Make sure to use a very good moisturizer!

If you struggle with acne, try this... I was frustrated until I found this product.

This is the way to go as far as BP. I don't know why anyone would ever use the cream version. This goes on so easily, and you don't have to worry about your face being white. It also takes about 1/3 of the time to apply compared to cream. Awesome stuff.

Even after a couple days of use, my skin was clearing up considerably. So far, I'm 100% confident that it's working as intended.

find a way to have this stuff on your face all day and night. it works. i had clear skin until i moved to harrisonburg about a year and a half ago, then i started breaking out within a few weeks of starting my new job. i had always used a 10% cream at night but that stopped working and it only got worse. tried switching products, proactiv, nothing worked. doc prescribed minocycline a few months ago, which helped a little, but was still getting lots of little pimples. when i first bought the BP gel i could only use it at night since it dried out my face too much. about a month ago i started using the the BP gel 2 or 3 times a day with regular lotion, vaseline total moisture...wash, apply lotion and let dry, then add the BP gel. i'm guessing i was coming into contact with something at work that was breaking me out, because since i've started having it on while working i've seen awesome results, and my face isnt totally dried out either. so glad to finally see re

I've always had spots appear around my mouth and nose, and even though I didn't have really bad acne because of being a pasty skinned Scottish girl they would show for ages while they healed as wee purple marks, and sometimes they'd be sore swollen lumps and as I'm sure everyone who suffers with this does I hated them. I tried Clearasil, Oxy, Neutragena and other regimens but nothing made any difference, then I found this on the web and it's amazing. At the start I was using it twice a day and it made my skin red even after 3 months so I cut down to once a day (at night) and that seems to be enough for me. I use Eucerin moisturiser which works great with it, I haven't tried Dan's one, I don't think he had one when I first bought this, I've been using it for about 3 years. :) My fiance had a strange red pimply spreading rash on his cheek that spread to his forehead over 6 months, he used this and it was gone in a month, he stopped using it after that and it hasn't come back.
