Chemical burns! They changed the formula when they changed the packaging. I've used this and other 10% benzoyl peroxide for years. This new formula in the purple tube is the only one I've ever had give me a chemical burn! I don't have sensitive skin (other than being acne prone). AVOID!!!!! The new formula also smells bad until it dries.
Great value

This helps with acne so much, this is my second time repurchasing. you don’t need a lot and is one of the only things that helps get rid of acne for me. if you have dry or sensitive skin i would recommend the 2.5% instead.

Been using this stuff for years and just bought a new tube a week ago and it seems they changed the formula. It used to have no scent to it but now its smells absolutely terrible. I’ll most likely be buying a different brand from here on out.

This product is very effective. I like that it’s maximum strength cause it dries out my pimples fast & calms the skin. Preventing my acne from being inflamed and spreading. This item is maximum strength, pls read the directions on it & talk to your doctor if it’s causing concern. Definitely apply a hydrating product after use because it’s very drying but to me it works exactly as it should! And I have no issues with this product. I’d say buy it only if you know how to properly use this cream.

I’ve dealt with acne my whole life and after a round of accutane in my 20s, I started getting comedo acne in my 30s. I used a lot of random stuff for my skincare regimen and decided to go back to the basics. After a week my skin is so much better and new pimples haven’t formed. I used Tretinoin as well so the combo is drying but nothing some lotion can’t fix. Highly recommend for the price.
Bye bye, pimples!

Not suitable for sensitive skin. My face started to swell, turn red, and burn. I’ve used the spot treatment 2.5%. I would recommend that.

They changed the formula when they changed the packaging. I’ve used this for years, and now it smells like you’re rubbing alcohol on your face and made me break out. Won’t be buying this anymore

Its pretty good - 4 months ago
I liked it a lot, it did help with my acne and made a significant difference overnight. BUT it makes my face itchy which I’ve experienced lately with my old benzoyl peroxide too. I would recommend btu make sure you use a good moisturizer as it can be drying.
Changed formula?

KiavaG - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
This used to work overnight, very fast. It was great. With the new packaging there seems to be a formula change as well since it does nothing at all anymore. I went back to the more expensive Paula’s Choice option since that actually works.
Inexpensive and effective

wxchick - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
This stuff is great. I had been getting giant pimples on my chin and tried all the expensive stuff. Nothing worked so I decided to give this a try and as long as I use it every night before bed I’m good to go. I still get a pimple from time to time but only one, much smaller, and they do not last long. Word of warning - my 11 year old tried it and it dried her face out so may be too harsh for some skin types.

This item made my face breakout in a rash. Not sure why as another product I have of the same ingredients doesn’t bother my skin.
