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

I've used the regimen in the past and it cleared up my acne. I stopped using it for about a year without any breakouts and then my acne started to reappear! It was a bad decision stop, which was my fault. Now I'm back on using the regimen. Well, for the most part the treatment. I remember on both counts having super dry irritated skin when starting the treatment. I'm using the treatment again and my face is still flaky even with jojoba oil added into the moisturizer. It's been a bit over 3 months since I've been back on the treatment and my acne hasn't gone down. If not, it's still the same to worse around my jaw line and I have never had any serious breakouts along my jaw line. I'm giving it a 4 star because it has worked in the past and I am hoping my acne will clear up like it once did. I believe that the moisturizer from the regimen may be the main cause of my acne still persisting. I know I should probably do a separate review for the moisturizer, but the moisturizer doesn't do much for ME. My skin would flake from the littlest touches, for example taking off a sweatshirt or shirt and I would have to moisturize again. If you want the BP treatment to work, find a better moisturizer!

I love this product mostly because it is so light weight and goes on smooth and dries pretty fast. It does clear up acne better than the 10% BP out there.

Thank you for making BP available to me, unable/limited to find it in my country. ABOUT BP About the BP miracle (I had acne over 10 years, now my skin has scars) -- I have noticed more better results than BP clean solutions, I recommend Dr. Wolf , Acne fug (it's was the only thing with BP in my country, and now I can not stop using it!!!), Acne fug is 5% BP and has alcohol and some other clearing skin agents(it's stored something like 2-7 decrees) (the paper recommends it for hormonal acne (hormons cause acne etc), the acne that other products can't fight), I use it once a day and works much better than any BP solution so far (It can't get any better, so I stay at this product. If I will not use acnefug for several days the acne comes back, some pimple or pimples appear, but if using this product they disappear after 2-3 days completely), no flakiness or anything(BP makes skin look a bit lifeless). Only once a day!!!!(I shower once a day!)(it's quite effective so please not use that often) I also use moisturizer with lipids and after that my skin is not try and feels good.

I used the Neutrogena on the spot for a long time and this just blows it out of the water. The initial price tag may jump out at you, but you get way more for your money in the long run and it lasts. The BP is equally effective as other 2.5% formulas and the clear formula won't make it look like you face is milky when you sweat

using this to treat moderate / severe back acne. So far it's the only thing working paired with the AHA+ lotion. Couldn't be happier. Easy to use and love the large size bottle.

After using another BP treatment 4 months prior to this one, I was perfectly content. I decided to give this a try because it was cheaper and I was able to get it without international shipping charges. It has kept my skin clear and it really glides on your skin so much better. No gritty feeling and no white streaks on your face. When I apply this product though, it does kind of make my eyes watery in the beginning when I am rubbing it around my face. I also think it might be too watery. But all in all a really great product and a good bang for your buck. I would definitely buy this again.

What a life saver! About 8 months ago I started to have the worst acne of my life. It was so bad I was even prescribed oral antibiotics. Break outs so painful it hurt to wash my face. I tried everything.. it was so embarrassing to be suffering like this mid twenties. I was also prescribed a 10% BP wash, which actually irritated my face because I have sensitive skin and rosacea to make matters worse. One of my friends had been using this product and she recommended it to me. I was like psshh I don't believe it, proactive has he same ingredient and it didn't work. So, she gave me a little bit in a travel bottle and I put it on twice a day and tried my hardest to stop touching my face. I liked it so much I ordered the treatment and the wash. Four months later my skin is completely clear and the scars are finally starting to fade out.

Didn't work for me.

Nothing is perfect right? At the least it cleared my skin up for the most part.

I've been dealing with moderately severe acne (which has progressively gotten better over the years) since I was twelve, I'm nineteen now and believe me I have a lot to say about it all, but I'll focus on this treatment. I was a 10% Panoxyl user for about 3 years up until two months ago when they started having production issues. It was a great product, I would highly recommended checking it out if you have moderately severe acne, but the reason it is inferior to Dan's treatment is mainly for just how drying it can be. My skin constantly cracked up and peeled, my skin could just never build a tolerance to it and I'm positive the irritation made things a bit worse, but it was still better than having pimples on every inch of my face. With Dan's treatment it comes with just 2.5%, that's a lot lower than something like Panoxyl's 10% so I always wrote it off, but reading some studies provided here and looking at Dan's regimen I decided to give it a shot. I think really though Dan's tactic of using more benzoyl peroxide to combat acne was the key. In conjunction with this light simplistic formula it makes that possible, which is ideal and damn does it work. Also, the fact that this treatment stays on your face as apposed to being lathered and washed off really guarantees your skin will absorb the benzoyl peroxide. So overall try it out for a month, but look into how Dan uses it on this site. I can really see why a lot of people are having issues. And by the way, you have to stick with this stuff. Its benzoyl peroxide, its going to have the potential effect of initially making things worse and drying skin just as any other product but if you really want to rid yourself of your acne that's what it might take. Benzoyl peroxide is hands down one of the best treatments for acne according to studies and polls and I think this product utilizes it the best.
