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

I use the treatment 2-3 times a day and I love it! After my favorite BP product was discontinued, I thought I'd have to live through the rest of my twenties with random breakouts. I've been using this for a year now and it's a miracle worker. I hope it never goes away! I used to have light acne, but I couldn't do without it. Remember to use a moisturizer right after using this, especially one with a sunblock.

Overall, this is a great product! I found after a but of modification (sorry Dan) to the The Regiment that it works much better for my condition when used directly onto individual pimples, spots and the like. It is not effective for me if I were to follow what Dan instructs us to do, and spread it around nice and evenly. I would still recommend it to others though. My results after consistent dabbing or touching pimples using a generous amount of BP include pimples harding from the inside out and dropping revealing smooth, new skin to preventing pimples from getting worst at first sight. Thanks a lot Dan!

I must say, this thing really works! During the 1st week, I put too much (too excited I guess) and it made my face really red and raw-ish. But after applying the moisturizer for a few days, it eventually faded away. It cleared most of the acne on my cheeks and forehead, around 75%. But I still have blackheads on my nose and chin, and occasional one or two pimples here and there. Highly recommended :)

Well, Boo! Hate to give this product up already because it definitely helps so many people and I definitely recommend it, but unfortunately, my skin reacted bad to the Urea in the product. I had the same problem with Prosacea when I tried it. It had Urea in higher concentrations and gave me one of the worst allergic reactions I have ever had. Hives all over my face! If they just didnt have that damn Urea I would have been fine with that as well. But since, it is in lower concentrations in this BP I didnt get too bad..Which is good. So, overall, I believe that people that don't have any sensitivities to Urea should give this a go. I used it for about a week and noticed I was having that same reaction that I was with prosacea. So I had to give it up. Sucks too, cause I love that it is a gel and definitely helped out my skin already in a week of usage. Just trying to help out anyone that might have some common reactions to formaldehyde releasers. If you do, go with Neutrogena's product.

Younger I tried accutane and its the best of all the acne treatment. I used Proactiv for over 3 years with good to average result so I made a change so I tried this treatment, no big breakouts it work good, but my acne is mainly only whitestuff inside my pores that make my skin rough and bumpy, no red bumps and minimal black heads. I think that benzoil peroxide no longer works for me, but I see the hype on this product. Now I'm on Clearpores starting for 3 months, salicic acid is maybe gonna work better, I'm also on minocin wich is mainly made to maintain somewhat of a good skin doesn't imrove or worsen skin

this really works and is something everyone should try..acne really messes with your selfsteem and the way that you think people look at you...so definetaly try it!!!

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

My acne wasn't that bad, but in my early 20s I thought that my problem skin should have slowed down by now, if not ceased completely. The logic behind the benzoyl peroxide seemed well based so I decided to give it a try. It made my skin extremely dry and irritated for the first week and lengthened my morning and nighttime skin-care regimen by a large amount, but I stuck with it and after 1 week my skin acclimated to the product and wasn't dry, after just 1 month of consistent use my skin was completely clear, and 4 months later I have not had one pimple. I wish that I had discovered this years ago. I don't even worry anymore about getting a pimple as long as I'm consistently using this regimen.

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.

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.
