If you like benzoyl peroxide products in a solution, you may very well like this. I find gels /creams to be more effective. Some people have a problem with them getting being able to vanish, but...

I really founds this to work for me. It reduced the size of the blemish without drying. I would use only as spot treatment.

If I use this 5% solution all over my face, it gets red and irritated but I use it on spots only and it does the trick. It disappears under foundation much like Dermalogica's bp solution and...

This is extremely effective for acne. The only major drawback is the bleaching of clothing, so you don't need to be in a morning rush, putting on the cream and then hauling a tee shirt over your...

This stuff really helped clear up my acne. I only use it once a day to avoid flaky skin, but if I use it less often I risk breaking out. And it will bleach fabric, so don't change your shirt for...
