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.
submitted by Ally - 2 years ago
A: Hello Ally - Thank you for your question. Yes, it is okay to use this product with a glycolic acid 7% toner. - Adrian

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!
submitted byrosie11 - 3 years ago
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.

Great against fungal acne, watch for irritation and color towels

Cat C - 7 days ago
Benzoyl peroxide is the only treatment that works for fungal acne; salicylic acid can’t go deep enough or kill the fungus Malassezia that causes fungal breakouts. I tend to get fungal acne near my hairline, and applying this as a spot treatment to zits in those areas clears them up quickly. I have combination sensitive skin, so this can leave me dry and flaky afterwards if I use it outside of the T zone. It’s similar to retinol uglies, nothing that gentle exfoliation and moisturizing can’t fix. The only drawback to this product is that I’ve bleached spots on my colored towels by washing my hands after applying it.
good, but excersize caution

First time,gave me severe chemical burn. Please use a generous amount of moisturizer, dryness will be transient if moisturized well. Works effectively, has an odor but not very strong, tolerable. Good pricing, please be careful, chemical burns are not something to be dealt with lightly.
Clears my acne IMMEDIATELY.

Clears my skin incredibly quickly! Loveee this product! If you’re considering buying this versus Clean & Clear’s persa-gel 10, I’d recommend this, as it works a lot better for me. It does have a watery scent. I often times have to wait a little longer for this product to sit in before continuing to the next step of my skincare routine compared to my other products.
Dont waste your money.

My skin is not sensitive but this thing with just one use on which by the way, I applied a very thin layer, caused major irritation! My cheek looked like a tomato the next day! Awful! It went directly to the trash! My poor face!

Peeled my skin off

Marcela - 1 month ago
This product made my skin literally peel off. I dealt with 2-5 days of just skin peeling off like 5-6 days after i was using it and just overall feeling so dry. Which is uncommon for someone with such oily skin like me and as for curing the pimples, I didn’t see any good results, wouldn’t recommend to anyone. :(
Just ok

Didn't do too much for deeper pimples. Did well on smaller, shallow blemishes.
Cream doesn't stay on the face

This doesn’t stay on the face AT ALL. After it dries, it just flakes off and gets all over the place. What is the purpose of an acne cream that doesn’t stay on the face?!
Love this stuff!

Can Clog Pores

Elaine - 2 months ago
Please be aware that benzoyl peroxide is a strong ingredient - be smart about it and use moisturizing products with it. I give this product 3 stars because it has Laureth-4 in it which is known to clog pores. I’m currently looking for other options
Better than tretinoin

Leslie - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
Works better than prescribed tretinoin. I have comedogenic acne and was taking tretinoin for 2+ years. I’ve been taking this for 3 weeks and the dark spots are almost completely faded and comedones don’t come on as quick.
Just as good as name brand

I always keep a couple of these on hand, it has worked just as well as the other name brand products. a little is all that is needed before bed to help reduce a blemish overnight.

I've tried a lot of acne treatments, ranging from cleaning products to ointments, creams, and chemical exfoliates. This is the only thing that helped (1) instantaneously and (2) long-term. I had one purge when starting to use it and then my skin cleared up like I have not seen in decades. Thank you for this product and for making it so affordable!
