Q: Is it ok to use this with a glycolic acid 7% toner? And if I used this acne medication on other days, would it be over exfoliating? I use this toner and it helps with my comedonal acne, but I need something that is strictly going to clear it.

Q: My 11 year old have a couple pimples but not a lot. Can she still use this or would it damage her skin?
submitted by Mellisa - 4 years ago
A: If it is used as a acne spot treatment- meaning you only put it directly on her blemishes and not all over her face, it should be fine! You can always test the product out on her hand first to be extra careful!

Q: Can pre teens girls use this product
submitted by Mellyndestiny - 5 years ago
A: Keep in mind this is a medicated gel, so it will be potent on your skin. No matter your age, if your skin is having blemish troubles, then yes use this benzoyl peroxide product.

I do not have sensitive skin/ have never had a bad reaction to any skincare. I used this to spot treat a few pimples and woke up to my face super swollen and red, and super itchy. I am so annoyed. Do not buy.

I've been using this for years and it worked amazing but I recently bought a new tube and I guess they changed the formula because I suddenly got a severe allergic reaction every time I used it. I used to use it every day with no problem until now. I became swollen red and very itchy. So disappointing
Too strong for me

The Good: great price, effective in spot-treating acne. The Bad: I had an allergic reaction by the 3rd time. My skin isn’t sensitive and I’ve never had an allergy to any product. At first I thought I got a bug bite on my forehead. My skin burned. It looked red and was itchy. The red spread over time. At its worst I looked like I had some skin disease. It took about 3 days to heal. It happened again the next time. Overall: I won’t use this product again. Like others have said, this product is for spot treatment, not regular use. And too much of it might burn your skin.
it works!

This is a great spot treatment for up and coming pimples. 10% benzoyl peroxide is very potent though, so a little goes a long way; do not overuse this! It works way better than other expensive products I’ve tried.

Here's the thing. This stuff works so well if and only if you use it correctly. You cannot use this on compromised skin, or it will cause further irritation, and LESS is more. Do not slather heavy amounts of this stuff all over your face thinking it will solve all your issues over night, you'll regret it. If you do this, you'll risk burning your skin and causing a bad reaction. Instead, use a non comedogenic moisturizer after your initial wash, then dab a tiny amount on places you need it most ( this will dry out unwanted pimples) , with a little consistency, time, and patience, you will see results. Be kind to your skin, and remember this is a 10% benzoyl peroxide cream, so a little goes a long way.

i find it tends to make my acne smaller less inflamed when I use it, but I put a dot over any acne I don’t rub it in it works better imo

I struggled with itchy and ugly folliculitis all over my face and body for 2 years. I tried so many different products ranging up to $50.. none of which worked. I tried this after some research and decided to give it a go. It helped with inflammation within a couple hours and cleared my face under a week. Do be careful though, I didn't know that benzoyl peroxide can have bleaching properties and it bleached some of my towels.
AMAZING...but drying

Okay, so like I love love love this product. I have like not super severe acne but like pretty bad. This stuff cleared it up in I kid you 2.5days. Clear skin has lasted almost a week which has never ever happened. This is the ONLY thing that has EVER worked to get rid of my acne and for less than $4! My skin is pretty sensitive like salicylic acid is a huge no but this seemed okay. The only thing is that it is really drying (i have really oily skin) and makes my skin flaky so use a good moisturizer but other than that… pls try it like it was so good!
Pretty Great

Didn’t really do much for my cystic acne. May work for others, but not for me. Good price though.
Works well even on sensitive skin. I used it every other night and it's lasted for months. Great value
