Benzac AC : Benzoyl Peroxide (5%) Gel

a Success.

i'm allergic to benzoyl peroxide (so guess that explains the redness of my face) but it makes my face clearer... i just put it all over my face at night, then leave for about an hour then wash it again... (so that it won't make my face super duper red! hehe) it works!!!

This product is the only product that's worked for me in soooo long and I've only been using it for a week, in just a few days my skin was a lot more smoother and matte which I love because I usually have oily skin, I think this product mainly heaps with pus filled pimple that surface not cysts, if your are going to use this product I would recommend you still apply moisturiser everyday and night then apply this just before you go to sleep (with clean hands!)

I got oily and sensitive skin. I'm using benzac 5% for my pimples in my forehead and backacne. Yes, it is true when you apply it on the forehead, it quite itchy, maybe trying to penetrate and kill the bacteria on the skin. For the Ist week, only few improvements, the sizes of my pimples are decreasing and not too swollen on my forehead.. I used it for a month for my backacne, it exfoliates or removes the dead skin. I didn't expect, my skin lightens no longer dark spots and acne. I believe continued use the product,you will see better results. I'm still using it till now especially if I have breakouts.

Started using Benzac last winter after a bad break out occurred. After a few days of application twice a day, I noticed the existing pimples were becoming smaller and less noticeable. A bit of drying and flakiness happened, but that was an okay trade off. Over the course of a few months of using Benzac, I noticed the texture of my skin becoming rough and bumpy. Even when I do break out, my skin is still soft, but my face felt like sandpaper. I couldn't quite figure out what was causing my skin to react this way, as Benzac was the only "harsh" acne topical I was using on my face, aside from a Purpose Soap Bar. I decided to give Benzac a break because my skin was too irritated. About a week ago, I tried using Benzac on concentrated areas of my face to see if it would irritate them, and an hour or so later, those areas were so red and bumpy. I recommend Benzac to those with normal skin who can take a little "abuse" from their skin care products. But if you have very fair, sensitive skin like me, you might want to steer clear of this one, or use it very sparingly , or apply every other day. On the bright side, since I started and stopped using Benzac, it pretty much eliminated any large pimples from forming. If I do get a break out here and there, the pimples are much smaller and go away faster.

It`s ok, but not a great product for my skin. (light caucasian skin)

I found that the texture of the cream wa snicer than others I have tried and it is effective in helping control my acne. It is also cheaper than all the other creams, and I can buy it in larger quantities.

I had extremely severe acne for many years until I found a book called 'The Acne Cure' by Terry J. Dubrow. I picked up this book for like 2 dollars from a book sale on the off chance it could do anything to help..after 2 long stints on acutane without effect i was pretty much willing to try anything. I can't even stress how incredible this book is! It has a three step program which when done correctly makes it impossible for acne to survive...the steps breifly - 1) use a cleanser with the active ingredient Salicylic Acid (I use Dermalogica anti-bac skin wash) leave on skin for about 30 seconds before washing off. 2) apply glycolic acid (I use Eventone Glyco Peel) leave on approx 3-5 minutes. 3)This is the long step but the most important. Applied normally Benzac AC will dry up your acne but will not stop it from coming back. It needs cool temps to be able to dig deep into the pores, you must cool your face with ice before application then once applied cool further. READ TH
