The trick is before applying the 10% lotion apply a hydrating calming cream typically used post chemical peel. Be careful with this highly concentrated 10% benzoyl peroxide lotion...its VERY important not to apply to skin under/ around eyes. You may only need it as a spot treatment or in places you typically breakout. Ive used this regimen for 1 full day and all 4 stubborn blemishes are almost cleared. Im amazed! The acne wash in picture has the same active ingredients as proactiv yet 10% benzoyl peroxide and this 10% benzoyl peroxide lotion is similar to proactivs repairing lotion, just 4� stronger. Highly satisfied cuz a little goes a long way and super effective.

Ive been using this product for years to maintain my adult acne. I have hormonal issues that caused me to have acne break outs at 40 years old. This product has helped maintain my acne breakouts for the last six years. I will continue to buy this and recommend it to my friends.

Cleared up my acne.

Its now December 2018. I ordered this in March 2017, use it daily and its still not empty!!! This product works very well and a little (pea size little) goes a very long way! My face remains clear. Even when pimples start to form because of something I ate, I put this on and it goes away within a day or so. This is my miracle product as so many other mainstream products dont work. TIP: dont cake this on as that wont speed things up but will just waste the product. Instead, apply A pea size three times per day and your pimples will disappear in no time.

Warning: If you have very sensitive skin, the 10% will burn your skin. Try the 5%, or even another product if that still burns.

This lotion is great. It feels like actual moisturizing lotion, as opposed to the super thick (and relatively ineffective) tiny tubes of clearasil or other nonsense. Because this is lotion, you can get good coverage a lot easier than from the tiny tubes as well. Other lotions Ive tried are more like gels which leave you shiny or sticky. This really just rubs in.

Yes, its expensive. However, think about the fact that it is 10%, and try finding another product at that level. Youll find tiny tubes with significantly less product in them and at a higher cost per weight.

Worth it. Im only annoyed that its so hard to get and I cant find it everywhere.

The texture for this BP product is SSSOOOO much better than those thick, heavy paste-textured brands you get at the drugstore. OR most other non-drugstore brands! Its thinner, more gel-like and soaks right in. I mix it with my clindamycin gel and theyre a great duo. It has its downfalls, though: its expensive. Its 4 ounces at $40. Thats $10/ounce. Thats a bit steep. And Im really only able to use the 10% strength in warm, humid weather. Its just too strong in cold, dry weather, and because of that Ive never been able to finish a bottle before its expiration date. Still, the expiry date is usually a good 18 months to 2 years from purchase date so Im usually able to finish at least half of it, and the texture is just too good to overlook.
