Replenix BP Acne Wash, Oil-Free Benzoyl Peroxide Face Cleanser with Medical-Grade Ingredients for Acne-Prone Skin (6.7 fl. oz)

This is the shiznek for me. Replenix has quickly become the only cleansing product I use on my face. It's creamy, not foaming. Thick enough that it won't run through your fingers and disappear down the drain, yet not heavy and tacky when applied to my skin. In the central Florida heat and humidity, this is the only product that makes my face feel truly refreshed and clean. Living in conditions where you routinely and repeatedly move between cool, dry air-conditioning and up to 110 degree real feel weather with 80% humidity is rough and horrible. I've tried endless other products over time and too many left my skin feeling stripped and looking flat. It's easy for me to know when a product has stripped my skin, because my skin goes pretty quickly from being really dry to overproducing oils to replenish the natural moisture that was savagely removed by a violent cleanser. More importantly, I was increasingly convinced I had problem skin.Normally I have combination skin, with a bit more oiliness in my T-zone area. This product creates a gentle balance which my skin doesn't have to struggle to react to after a good cleansing. Safe, gentle, does it's job well.So glad I have found this product. This is gentle and to the point, and I've finally achieved a healthy looking and feeling glow that leaves me feeling refreshed. I'm finally on my way to having my best skin. At 51, that's a major accomplishment.I've so far not run into this product in stores nearby. I have in the past been weakened by frustration and tempted by advertising. In weak moments, I've bought stuff I've seen ads for on TV simply because I could walk into a store and hold it in my hands and go straight home with. Those impulsive days are over for me. The reason those women in the ads GET those modeling jobs is that they already have perfect skin. Ever seen a supermodel get her skin FIXED by a product on an ad? Nope. There's a reason for that. The one prerequisite for being able to model skin care lines is to ALREADY HAVE GOOD SKIN. Any skin care model with real human skin issues is quickly replaced with someone who has perfect skin. Those ads are not designed to sell products by showcasing anyone with problem skin.It's not like Oprah on a WW commercial, where you see the problem she's trying to conquer, what she's going to do to conquer it, and then maybe (or maybe not) see an update a few months later with a progress report.The model with the already perfect complexion, washes her face right in front of us, with her showerhead blasting gallons of water directly into her open eyeballs and she never even flinches. Then, with zero redness in her eyes, she looks me directly in the eye and tells me that with her super busy supermodel routine, this is the one and only product she uses, because she really has no time for skin care. Seriously?!?Yeah, I'm not like them. I'M REAL.Those ads are all created to fool us into wishful thinking that all we need is this one product to make us look like HER. Hahaha. Right!!! Imagine a world, if you will, where every woman is a supermodel because we all use the same product.Replenix is gentle enough for me to use daily. Some mornings I use this. (On other days, when mommy and wife demands cut into me-time, I confess I just do a quick wash with water.) But I do use it religiously every evening when I shower. And it's made a real difference. So glad I found this product, and I will never need to use another.Wish they had a value pack now. Maybe something with a good three-fer price. I've never been one to Subscribe and Save. Too weird trying to predict how long something may last and get into an intimate relationship with a shipper where they just auto-ship stuff and charge my card. I far prefer self discipline and ordering in 2's or 3's and then reorder when I open the last one I have on hand. So hopefully this will be an option that Replenix will offer real soon? ❤️🙏❤️

I love this product, I use it after I exfoliate which seems to be most effective for me. Keeps my skin clear.

Great product. Would highly recommend.

Original review (5*):I use this wash to combat my cystic acne, and I cannot recommend this enough! I've been using it for almost two years, and the before-and-after results are like comparing night and day. It has controlled my acne ever since I started using it, and I recommend this to anyone who has severe cystic acne.I use it twice daily, once in the morning and at night, and it never dries out my skin when I use a moisturizer. Everyone should use some type of noncomedogenic moisturizer after using acne products. Not doing so may increase your skin's oil production, which can cause more acne.I waited until after the purging period (3-5 weeks) to determine that this wash was working for me. In the past with other products, I would quit before truly knowing if a wash or cream was working because I would get discouraged after not seeing positive results in the first 2 weeks. Give your skin time to adjust before judging that a skincare product is ineffective.I never had any negative reactions to this wash, but I do not have sensitive skin. I always spot test new products to make sure that I do not have adverse side effects before applying it to my whole face.Be aware that it will stain your clothes and towels if it gets on them, and I'd suggest using an old towel that you don't care mind getting bleached.All in all, I could not be happier with this wash. I may get a small pimple once a month, but they vanish as quickly as they show up, and any scar that is left behind disappears quickly as well. For me, it's worth the money, and I will continue using this as long as it keeps working.I hope that when you try it, you will have similar results as I did.5/10/24 Edit: While this wash still works well, the price has gone up significantly over the past year (paying around $30 when previously I have paid $22-24), and I am looking for less expensive option that works just as well.

Leave your skin very clean and shiny

Good

I get really bad acne break outs at random from literally anything. Usually it's acne that stays below the skin, so it just ends up as this huge red bump that stays for days or weeks at a time and only gets worse when I try to cover it up with make up. I looked online that benzoyl peroxide is really good for that, so I got the 10% wash hoping it would do the trick. It got rid of all of it within the first few days or me using it once every morning. However, repeated use dries out your skin and makes it sting even worse. I recommend either getting a really nice moisturizer to compensate, or do what I do. I use curology now and use the benzoyl peroxide wash in the mornings, then my curology stuff at night because the moisturizer and night creme are really hydrating. Since I started doing that, my skin has been virtually perfect (which isn't something I've ever been able to say) and prevents break outs from starting. Hope this helps!

This is just an OK BP cleanser. It has the typical bleachy smell that other cleansers w/ BP have; I was hoping to find a cleanser with a tiny bit of fragrance to help mask that smell. The texture is creamy but also a little gritty. Overall not worth the price, it's the same thing you'd find from the drugstore :(
