2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Gel Treatment Lotion (8 oz)

Non irritating and effective. Simply the best. Great value.

I have suffered with acne all my life (pimples, zits, blackheads, whiteheads; you name it, I had it on my face). I bought so many products over time and nothing ever seemed to work. So when I bought this, I really wanted it to work, but I wasn't really holding my breath for a miracle. When it arrived, I washed my face, dried it, and then applied this gel...it burned like hell.It made me want to scratch my face off. But I figured I would bear with it and left it on. On the 3rd day, I noticed my blackheads seemed closer to the surface, but figured it was just my imagination. Still, I continued with the treatment. A couple days later, the blackheads were literally on the surface of my skin, rolling right out of their pore pockets. My whiteheads had disappeared, leaving behind baby smooth skin behind in places that I never even thought possible. And my pimples had all dried up! It was a miracle if I had ever seen one!The only downside is that it burns like hell when I use it. It doesn't make my face LOOK irritated, it just FEELS irritating, and makes you feel like scratching it off.But it's gotten better recently, so I think it just takes a while for your face to get used to it if you have sensitive skin. Also, it's very drying, so I switched up my routine a bit:1. Apply Ponds cucumber cold cream cleanser on dry skin and massage in with S & T Lil' scrubbies2. Rinse and dry face3. Apply Dr Song Benzoyl Peroxide and allow to dry4. Follow up with Ponds dry skin moisturizer.Now I'm just waiting for the acne scars on my cheeks to go away (spots of discoloration). My forehead, nose, and chin are now free of scars and the skin tone is even, since I haven't had a single pimple, blackhead, whitehead, etc on those locations since starting the treatment. I noticed my cheeks would get a flare up whenever it was that time of the month.So although I usually only apply this stuff once a day throughout most of the month, I switch to applying benzoyl peroxide TWICE a day whenever I'm on my period, and that keeps my face acne free. The directions say you can apply it as little as every other day (if you're sensitive and need time to adjust or ease into it; I just went straight for the once a day treatment and toughed it out until my face got used to it) or as much as 3 times a day. So play around with it and see whatever works for you.

I have been using this product like for about a month and I have been pleased so far. I had to deal with terrible cystic acne during my early twenties and had to take Accutane. My face was free of acne during 2 to 3 years but recently I have been dealing with pimples in specific areas on my face (chin and forehead) but they can't be compared to the cystic acne I had years ago. So I started to try acne products from local stores. At first they disappeared my pimples quickly but then they lost their efficacy. I decided to find other remedies online until I found out about the regime from acne.org. I wanted to buy their products from their website but had issues with their checkout process that did not got resolved (seems that they don't ship to my country)until I found an alternative on amazon which is this product from Dr. Song. I cannot compare it to Acne.org Benzoyl Peroxide because I have never tried it but I like it so much better than other brands from local stores. What I like the most is that it dries very quickly after putting it on my face and doesn't leave a white residue or leaves my skin flaky. I can wear makeup on top of it. I do use a moisturizer after letting it dry. I use Cetaphil products to clean and moisturizer but I am looking for other natural/organic products with less harmful ingredients. I use this product twice a day (morning and night).I cannot say this is a miracle product that is going to make my acne disappear forever. The type of acne I have to deal with is related to hormones, stress and diet so acne is something that is not going to go away at this point of my life but I think this product disappears my pimples quicker and keeps my face under control. I do take natural supplements such as Zinc and Omega-3 Fish Oil once in a while and I am thinking of taking a little bit of Vitamin B5 during those days of the month. Also green tea can be helpful. It's good to to treat your body from the inside and out but also take those supplements properly.I suggest you to buy this product and follow the regimen from Acne.org I think this product is worth it for the price and quality. I hope it stays available for a long time.

Took couple of days to get used to it. Works well but nothing dramatic. Smell is chemical.

I absolutely swear by this stuff!! I usually get breakouts a week before my menstrual cycle. Every night after I cleanse my face I will apply about a pee size and rub onto my face and neck, concentrating on my jaw line as that is where I would tend to break out. A little bit goes a long way! As long as I am consistent with this nightly regime I have seen incredible results! The only downfall is you have to be extremely careful that it does NOT touch your clothing or hair (eyebrows or hairline). I have had a couple of shirt collars ruined by the bleaching effect from the benzoyl peroxide. When I first started using it I noticed that my skin was drying out. I started using a moisturizer in the morning and it helped a lot! I recommend this to anyone who has bad breakouts who is serious about clearing that cycle up!
