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

I am 25 and have more or less grown out of my acne but i still continue to get stubbern mild acne. My treatment history is long and any results temporary. I have actually been useing BP2.5% for many years with ok results however i always hated the feel and it stripped my skin and left my complextion looking dull. On reading about Dan's regime i gave it a try useing my old brand of BP, it sorted the spots but my skin couldn't handel the BP and i was forever starting and stopping. Dan's BP has transformed the regime for me, it's given me great results with none of the negative side effects, my skin is looking smooth and soft and can even handle the gel without moisturiser. I love this product.

I will never go back to cream-based benzoyl peroxide products again. They work, but don't go on clear and take a long time to absorb. This product does on clear and absorbs fast and it really does work without drying your skin too much, so I highly recommend it. Also, the tube might look small in the pictures, but it lasts a very long time. I've been using it for 4 weeks and I'm only 60% into the tube. I expect it to last at least another 2 weeks. One $8.50 tube lasting 6 weeks is a really great value. If you have more severe acne, one tube might not last as long though. Either way, I highly recommend this product.

PROACTIVE SUCKS AND I NOW USE THIS CREAM AND MY FACE HAS NEVER BEEN THIS CLEAN. I JUSS NEED TO GET RID OF SCARS AND ILL HAVE A CLEAR FACE.

i like it better than Neutrogena on the spot and is tons cheaper.

It's the best BP I've used so far! But the price of shipping was just flat out insane. The cost to ship 1 tube(not including the tube)to Vancouver, BC on UPS was over $35(in US)! So all together came to about $50 canadian! But luckily there are a few places in Vancouver that carry it and can be purchased for less then if you ordered it online with shipping. Also this way you do not need a credit card as most of my peers at school including me don't even own a credit card yet.

I truly wanted this to work for me. I've used Neutrogena BP and Proactive BP, both worked well for me. I tried this because of the price/size, but, it did not work. I really wish it would have. I used it for over a month, breakouts increased as I used it, breakouts went away when I switched back to Neutrogena. As a side note, I have extremely temperamental skin and have had acne for 18 years. It's never completely gone away, I can just manage it. I'm sure it may work for others whose skin is not as bad as mine.

Great all around.

If you follow the regimen every day, exactly like Dan suggests, it will work. The begining is tough because BP irritates the skin and its hard not to want results immediately. Once your skin starts clearing, you have to have the time and patience to rub the BP gel in, even though it takes a while. I started the regimen with proactiv, because I already had it. I switched to Dan's gel after about a month and the difference was huge. This gel absorbs better, is less irritating, and is more effective. Its also cheaper than other options that won't work as well.

This product works well. This is my 2nd month using it for the regimen. When I am able to take care of my face in an incubated environment (at home, when the boyfriend is out of town, when I'm not working out as much, when I use a clean pillow covering each night), the result is magnificently clearer skin than my normal complexion. However, the problem is that in going about my normal life, my face is subjected to things (pollution, kisses, lots of sweat) that void much of my efforts. Sure I do the regimen w/ careful application of BP twice a day, but sometimes it's not possible to apply BP after my face is subjected to extra bacteria. In theory, BP works for 12 hours between applications but only if you don't move... I can't wash my face after getting kissed on the cheek, talking on the phone for awhile, or wearing a hooded jacket in the middle of the day. It's those things that spread new bacteria which stays there until I can catch it with my next BP application.

Would work well if you have oily skin, not the combination/dry skin of someone in their 30's like me! Great that there is no animal testing.
