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

BP at first was making my face red, itchy and it stung. Then I started getting dizzy spells and lightheadedness (although at the time I didn't think it could possibly be the BP). Then I got a MAJOR pounding headache around my eyes. I couldn't get up to get some water without feeling like I was going to throw up. Then I got itchy ALL over my body! I thought I had bed bugs or body lice or I was going crazy. I thought maybe I had iron deficiency. It turns out all of this was because I'm so sensitive to BP! I can't use it! So dissapointing! I was never allergic to it before! I wish Dan would make a huge tube of something for people who are allergic to BP. *hint* Dan!

I have very sensitive skin, but NOTHING I have ever used has messed up my skin this much (and trust me I have tried almost everything). I was on Proactiv before I started using this and I don't know why it gets such a bad reputation cause it cleared me up a lot but I still had about 5 pimples on my forehead so I switched hoping I would get completely clear, but this did the complete opposite. My acne is way worse then it was before I started using Proactiv, and not only that, my chin and under my nose is extremely dry and its like peeling. I would NOT recommend this to anyone and I don't know why it has such good ratings cause I would have been better off just using soap and water. And it looks cheap and works worse then the cheapest OTC products but its more expensive then most things I've tried, I got the 2-4 month big kit or whatever and it came out to $80 with shipping and handling. So I say don't even waste your time and money with this stuff its some of the worst stuff out there (well for me it is). I don't know why I trusted Dan Kern, hes not a doctor or a famous skin care person, hes just a normal person. I never even heard of him before this stuff, I shouldn't have trusted him :/

I am using PanOxyl 10% Acnegel which had helped me (it still does) a lot! I got really severe acne when I moved to Thailand and after reading a review on benzoyl peroxide I decided to give it a try! At first my skin was red, then it got dry and flaky (originally I have oily skin) and finally I realized that it works! Usually I apply it to my face once a day, covering the spotted areas. I tend to get more breakouts before my period, if so I use it twice a day. Yes, it makes my skin oily and dry at the same time (because of the hot and humid weather) but I try to balance it by using moisturising facial wash (Cetaphyl or Smooth-E). It doesn't stop me from breaking out though, so I'm planning to try accutane in nearer future but I'm not going to stop taking PanOxyl by any means!

NO WORTH IT, MAKES U INFLAMEND

... i reallly wanted to like this product. i use bp from walmart and other places and they worked just A okay but thisss mess!!! what is this mess dan?? are you serious! this left a filmmmmmmmmmmm on ma face!! people said "oh there was no residue" try again!! maybe it was wiped off on ya pillow case or something becuase my face was allll greasy in the morning. like dats nasty. like now i got this big bottle of ...omg!!! let me tell yall before i forget too! so some of this stuff dried at the top of the bottle i took it off and it was like glue. i lie to you not! this stuff did nothign for my skin it didnt make it worst. i still got them little tiny bumps under my skin. any other bp that i used would have dried it owut butttttttt this product rigth here. it is a noo buenoo!!! dont waste ya money. i dont care what liess other people telling yalll.liek what am i gonna do with this bottle. smh

If you using this I think you should stop even though it might be working it's going to damage our skin in the future everyone try something natural...

If You want a CHEAP BP that actually works go to rite aid and get the white bottle that says acne gel, It says rite aid on it as well. That stuff works amazingly.!!

I guess I am allergic to BP or my skin is just so sensitive. I wanted it to work! I am so unhappy now. I really believe it works (still), I guess I was just so unlucky. I would say, give a try! It will probably work for you, unless you have sensitive skin. If your skin tends to become red after applying stronger lotions (the ones that containes sal. acid, etc. - "strong" ingridients), you will probably react to BP the way I did. Be careful. And do a little research before trying BP. (The cost I wrote is for the whole kit)

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
