I was a very happy user of this product for 3 years. It cleared my skin completely. However, for whatever reason now it causes me to break out. I thought maybe I was using too much and tried using every other day, but it still caused my skin to dry and gave me deep pimples and my skin wouldn't adjust to it. I read some other reviews that this happened to them once they ordered a new product once theirs ran out (ordered in Sept 2020). This is what I did so I am not sure if I got a bad product or it changed. I will be trying a different Benzoyl Peroxide treatment from a different brand.
This is truly the best acne treatment on the market. I have tried differin for 3 months, tretinoin for 2 months and salicylic acid and niacinamide for 6 months, none of these cleared or even reduced my acne, often they made it worse. I have also tried other benzoyl peroxide products that reduced my acne, but caused so much irritation and redness that I had to stop using them. This wonderful product has completely cleared my acne in only 2 weeks. There is some very slight stinging when it is first applied, but that fades quickly and I'm left with no irritation. One caveat is that because it's drying, it needs to be used with a good moisturiser. Using the acne.org moisturiser left my skin dry, flaky and irritated. Since I switched back to bioderma atoderm balm, my skin has been moisturised and healthier than ever. Also, I only use this treatment on the areas I get acne- around my mouth, nose, chin and jaw line. I use it twice a day and I think this is key to my success. I will continue to buy this product forever!
The treatment portion of the acne.org set is the most amazing thing I have used so far in my long journey to find an acne regimen that actually works. I have tried literally everything from over the counter products to prescription ones and this is by far the best at controlling my acne breakouts without completely ruining my skin.
On August 2020 I bought this as I always have as this is the only 2.5% benzoyl peroxide that I can find but this year they must have changed their formulation for a cheaper alternative or I must have gotten a defective one because when I used it, it burned my face really bad. I thought I probably just need to put moisturizer first but it didn't help. My face turned red the next day and very itchy. It was like this for two days, it was like a chemical burn. I hope you read this and bring back the previous formulation. Thanks!
I suffered moderate acne through out my entire teenage years and early 20s, tried most topical solutions and nothing worked well. Eventually, I stumbled upon this when I was 20 and it improved my skin completely. I went from being known as "acne girl" among my high school friends to someone who is known for having great skin among my new friends during my 3rd year in college. Many of my friends asked what I used and I pointed them to this site. I had really oily skin so I would just use a toner after cleanse, Benzoyl Peroxide, then AHA, without any moisturizer. If I don't use BP for a week or 2 the acnes would pop up again so I know for a fact BP keeps them at Bay. The AHA helped fade my acne scar and made my skin feel so soft! By the time when I was 26 I could finally say goodbye to my acnes and BP. However, I m adding AHA back to my routine as it helps soften my skin and reduce fine lines.
I really wish I had found out about this in my teenage years! I now have a 3 year old and she will probably need this in 10 years since both hubby and I had acne-prone skin. I will definitely return when the time comes!
Ever since i was a teenager i had constant breakouts. i had very bad cysts all over my cheeks. I had tried EVERYTHING, until my friend mentioned this product. After a couple months i saw results. Its been two years since I started using this product and it's changed my life. I do not break out nearly as much as before. I cannot live without this product!!!
I am 34 years old and started having issues with my skin in my early twenties.
I know it is hormonal because I only breakout on my chin, jawline and cheeks.
In 2013 when my first son was two-years-old, my skin went haywire. I was breaking out like a teenage boy going through puberty.
I stumbled upon this regimen and decided to give it a try because of the reviews, the price, and it’s simplicity.
Well, it worked. After a few months of use, my skin was completely clear. I continued to use the entire regimen for over a year and eventually stopped, and my acne was at bay for a few years.
Well, I had a second child and low and behold, a few years after he was born, my hormonal acne returned. I tried different methods for over a year to try and get rid of it (not sure why I didn’t go straight back to this regimen after how well it worked the first time), but I finally returned to what I know works.
I have been using the regimen for a couple weeks now and my skin is already clearing.
But, please remember, the first weeks/month of using this regimen is tough. I have extremely sensitive skin so right now it is red, extremely flaky, and very dry. But I know (from experience) this will go away and within a few months, my skin will be glowing again.
These products DO WORK. Good skin (for some of us) takes a lot of work. So if you’re willing to go through the short-lived battle to be pimple-free, this regimen is for you!
Are you familiar with Pernox?
I used to love this product for it’s simplicity. The last bottle I purchased had a weird plastic odor and feels much more irritating on my skin. When I reach out about this problem I was sent a replacement bottle but the replacement also had the strange smell and felt slightly irritating on my skin. They said the ingredients haven’t changed. I’m wondering if there was a bad batch or something of the big size? I will purchase the smaller tube once more and see if it still has the weird smell. I’m very sad about this because I genuinely love this product normally.
You obviously won’t see results in like a week..or you could..but trust me apply this during your bedtime routine EVERY NIGHT and you will see results. It’s the only treatment that has been working for my face and I 100% recommend this benzoyl peroxide treatment. My face is finally almost acne free, obviously the annoying menstrual acne shows up but it goes away within 3 days of using this. MAKE SURE NOT TO TOUCH YOUR FACE! And drink plenty of water, try not to consume so much sugar and milk too. I can’t explain with words how happy I am to have found this treatment!!! Also the customer service is amazing!!!
I’ve suffered with hormonal acne for over 10 years which has worsened every year, I’m now almost 40 and decided to try this and wow, it has changed my life. The first month is tough but stick with it, it works. If I put anything else on my skin I get terrible breakouts, this is it for me now, would not use any other product. I would love it if you could add SPF to your moisturiser it would help so much with anti- aging.
