Review: I used to have really bad acne, including the cystic type. Every year I was having horrible outbreaks and having to take oral antibiotics. I was using clindamycin twice a day and still unable to get rid of my acne. I didn't want to resort to oral antibiotics again. I once used a benzoyl peroxide solution that caused more harm than good because it dried my skin to the point of breaking skin. But I decided to try this product, which has a much lower concentration of benzoyl peroxide. It worked wonders! I applied it twice a day on some cystic acne that had been shown to be resistant to clindamycin and another topic antibiotic I tried. After about two weeks my acne cleared completely. I believe I had bacteria under my skin that kept coming back and was killed by this product. It has been a couple of months since then and I am still clear of acne. I still get one or two spots every once in a long while but nothing compared to what I had before. I then apply a bit of this product (I make sure I rub it in and I don't skimp but don't use too much) and after one or two days the acne is gone. The first treatment I did was in the summer and my face was often oily, which prevented my skin from becoming too dry due to the benzoyl peroxide. If I apply it in the winter I'll make sure I use lotion to counter the drying. It's important to note that this product is a free radical solution that destroys all kinds of molecules. It probably not only destroys bacteria but also our cells. It may accelerate aging and maybe cancer. So it's important to use it sparingly, only when necessary. One big advantage of this product is that it won't cause antibiotic resistance, which I believe was a major factor why I couldn't get rid of my acne. There seems to be many different types of acne so this product may not work for you. But it worked for me and I hope it works for you.
Review: My entire life, I never really had an issue with acne. That is - until my 20s. The horror!! I thought acne was only for teenagers going through puberty? Honestly, where is the justice. Anyway, adult acne is the hand I've been dealt so I just have to find the right products to clear them out! Let me first tell you about my skin. I come home from work and my skin is soaking in oil. It glistens as if I had dipped my face in a tub of butter. But in the morning, my skin is sooo dry. It feels like its cracking. I've done a lot of research and tried a lot of products for combination skin and it's mostly comeback with unsuccessful results until I found this product. A friend of mine as similar skin to me. We are both in our mid-20s and have moderate cystic acne and she introduced me to this stuff. After using this product for 3 months, my face dramatically cleared up(with the help of drinking more water and cutting out processed foods). I used it every other day and it really helped! I was worried that this would further dry out my skin, but since its only 2.5% of benzoyl peroxide, I guess it doesn't affect the dryness so much. As long as you where a moisturizer you know is beneficial for your skin, dryness shouldn't be a concern. Now that my face is more clear, I usually only use this when I know my period is approaching to fight off those hormonal pimples!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this fragrance free?**
A: The bottle is not marked fragrance free, but there do not seem to be any added fragrances or perfumes.  It has a very mild smell and maybe no smell at all...no smell of peroxide or fumes or perfumes nor any "mediciny" smell.

**Q: Hi.  I'm curious if you use this wash instead of or in addition to a face cleanser?  Does it remove oil and makeup well? Thanks!**
A: I use it in place of another wash.  It's very creamy, and feels good when u massage it in your face.  Sometimes I don't feel like it gets ALL of the makeup off, so i will do another round (I have very oily skin).  Anyway, this is a great product, but if u r looking for something for acne, look at the jan Marini benzoyl peroxide topical treatment.  It comes in a 5% and 10%.  It works GREAT.  I am 38 and and still get black and whiteheads sometimes.  If I use this faithfully every night, it keeps me from breaking out.  My aesthetician recommended it and I have found that it is much cheaper on Amazon than at the salon.  Good Luck!

**Q: Can this be used as a body wash?**
A: I haven't used it as a body wash. I don't see why not. If it is gentle enough to be used on the face the rest of the body should not be a problem.

**Q: Is this product just for washing my face? Do I have to buy another product for acne treatment? Thanks**
A: I have had Accutane treatment, and now I use this product as maintenance and just a face wash

This product has been a lifesaver for me over the past year. This is the only thing I have found that works for both sebaceous filaments AND my hormonal/ cystic acne. You only need a tiny amount therefore it lasts forever. It is expensive but I absolutely believe you get what you pay for with this product. Please note that with some experimentation, I’ve got a few recommendations: 1) Using this every single day will wreck your moisture barrier and can actually lead to worse acne. I use this twice a week max and fill in with a very gentle cleanser on other days. 2) For goodness sakes moisturize your skin with a good medium-heavy moisturizer after use. Again, great product but can be drying. 3) Wear sunscreen every day: I have found this product makes me a little photosensitive, even with my olive skin tone.
