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

I've tried Proactiv in the past and it caused me some severe reactions (red patches, swelling, burning) but then again it was still the 10% formula. This whole system looked great so I bought the entire big bottled kit, which is worth it because these won't run out for a loooong time. My skin is porcelain/combination and I have pretty bad cystic acne. I tried this for about 3 weeks, i noticed improvement but I had severe peeling and itching. Dan said this was normal but after another week it was just something I couldn't handle anymore. I stopped putting it on my face and started again when my face healed, I never upped the dosage this time and only used it at night and had the same reactions. It made me burn and peel really bad and I just can't use it on my face :( I never put it in my eyes but for some reason I woke up with swollen eyes so I warn those of you that are sensitive to certain products. However, this did work on my chest and back, I had no irritation problems and the acne that resided there has disappeared. Overall if the skin on my face wasn't so sensitive, it would work.

If you have acne you want gone, buy it!

It works better than any other product including prescription treatments.

Most amazing acne treatment ever, must at least try!

It works better than any BP out there. Its definitely worth the money

i'm really glad that it has helped so many, however, i guess my skin does not take benzoyl peroxide well. i don't have sensitive skin either. i used to the whole acne.org regimen and i have never had such low self confidence as when i was on this regimen. i started out with moderate acne and heard so many glowing reviews i knew i had to try it. i, like most everyone with acne, have tried every product under the sun. so, thinking it couldn't hurt to try, i spent however much money and placed my order. after a couple weeks everyone was commenting on how bad my skin looked. but everyone on acne.org told me that's how it starts and if i just kept with it, my skin will get better...it's just getting used to the BP. i should've trusted my gut instinct though. i used the regimen exactly as stated and started with the bp little by little, applying it thoroughly and gently, and used to for almost a year. anyways, almost 3 years later and i'm still left with horrible scars. so, if it's working for you, congrats! but if you feel like it's making you're acne worse, please, please, please discontinue use. it's not worth it. rating = 0

Benzoyl Peroxide works to clear up acne for me much better than the alternatives and it keeps breakouts away. This is sold at a great price and can last quite a while. I would definitely recommend it to others and will continue to use in the future.

I am so glad I switched to this from the previous treatment I was using. I had no idea how huge the tube would be! It is working better than my previous treatment, with little to no sting.

Great product. I had bad acne as a teenager and it has gotten better, but I've struggled to clear it completely since then (I'm now 28). This is the first product I've found that has cleared it for me without over drying. As I said before, I had to cut back on the treatment because it was over drying my skin, but since I've done that it is working great. One negative, I recently noticed that it is bleaching any fabric that it comes into contact with on a regular basis. If you are someone that has struggled with this for a long time, you probably agree that this is a reasonable price to pay for something that works. I just use the same pillowcase and towel all of the time and wash them as needed.

This is the only treatment which worked for me. I tried Minocycline, Differin Gel and many others, and none of them worked, then I switched back to Benzoylperoxide, my face is cleaner than before! It's not 100% clean. but better than before! I use this Benzoylperoxide since 2005.
