    I have been usin Bp for about 7 months. the 10%. The first couple of months is did nothing. After about 4 months my skin was clear. I probably only had 4-5 bumps. after the 5th month there was nothing on my forehead and nothing on cheeks. But there was 2 bumps on my chin. The 6th month my skin was clear. Then this month it started to get a little worse. So Iwent to my dermatologist.And she gave me anothe product. Epidou. It works also. So now my skin has a 2 or 3 bumps. The only bad thing about BP is it flakes your skin.And makes it peal alot. But my skin had HORRIBLE ACNE. Now my skin has a couple bumps and a spot or 2 of flaky ness. but you barely notice. I use three perscription drugs. BP., Epidou and a pill.

    BP works for most people to get rid of acne and for me, my experience was no different, acne was significantly reduced. However, after a month of using it, I could no longer cope with how dry and flaky and itchy my skin was and how old looking I had become! Whilst some people can tolerate these side effects, it wasn't enough for me, I wanted acne gone and healthy looking skin!! Have started simple regime this week which has delivered amazing results quickly. If you are not satisfied with BP's side effects try what I'm using...AM and PM, Loreal DeMaq Expert 2 in 1 milk to toner followed by Loreal renourish dry and and sensitive wipes swept over whole face, not only has acne cleared but marks from acne have dramatically reduced!!!

    Hi guys. I have been using this product called PanOxyl 10% for 2 days now and I have noticed a very big improvent in my acne. in fact amazingly enough I have only 3 spots left, which are very red but have substantially reduced in size. Now I have always had the odd spot here an there but over the past 6 months have had 'severe' acne, which made me very depressed and I even didn't go to Uni because I was so embarrassed, now I face failing the spring semester. But I tried everything from asprin to the sauna, at no avail. Now my regime consists of: tea tree oil soap, then rub in the benzoyl peroxide thouroughly, then leave for about 30 mins. As my skin drys out immensly from this, I have found a very good moisturizer call BioOil which contains vitamin a which is very good against acne. Apply this generously but do not to over the top because your skin will be too oily. I done this twice a day for 2 days and a big big result. Also on top of this I drank slot of water and regular exercis... Read more

    I agree with wolfkidd79, it will bring all your under the skin acne up to the surface, it will appear worse and you will want to break all the mirrors in your house. I remember how much my face broke out  after using it. Then all that break out started to harden, after about 3 months it got smooth again but the red spots were still there. So really, don't lose hope, let it unclog your skin and then after that, use something else.

    I hate benzoyl peroxide and its my own fault i hate it too! When i was younger i used this in cream form for my acne. It cleared it up alot so i kept applying heaps and heaps to my face in thick slabs every morning and night. Two years later i realise my skin is completely mashed up. I used to look cute now i look so ugly because it has literally damaged my skin completely. Ive been so stupid and i hate myself because of it now. In the light my skin is all pink, spotty i have acne still and i look just so ugly:( Its made my skin very thick and i have the most uneven skin tone. I feel like crying most times because my skin just never repairs anymore, ive completely dried out my skin and i think ive ruined all the layers! Ive got a doctors appointment soon and im hoping he'l refer my to the dermatologist. Do you think that they can repair my damaged skin so i can have normal clear skin again?

    You people need to realize that from start to finish, 1 pimple typically takes over a month to actually show up on the skin. If your acne has gotten worse from using any of these products, it's probably because it's exploiting all of the cysts and clogged pores, which you should be thankful for because its bringing everything to the surface FINALLY. Give it time, acne has a pattern/cycle that needs to be learned, just like the medication being used on it. Here's a perfect example: I NEVER have broken out on my forehead until after I used BP 10% - - then after a few weeks (and still using BP) the forehead breakouts stopped and is now manageable. At first I was skeptical that this stuff was making my skin worse. Then I thought about it. How can anything that helps clean the skin make you worse off after using it? Maybe for awhile its worse than before you started but think about what that medication is doing. It's loosening up weeks and months of dried oil in your pores. It only has one ... Read more

    My friend and I both purchased this product. I used this product for the first time the next day, and followed the instructions very carefully, as I had been warned of how strong the product was. After a few minutes my face felt as though it were burning, so I therefore followed instructions to wash it off straight away with cold water. This burning feeling carried on for the rest of the day, so I started to moisturise my skin, the next day my face deteriorated and became red, swollen and began to peel, over the next couple of days it continued to get worse, and more irritating. This was a week ago and my skin on my face still is not back to normal. The exact same thing happened to my friend, who had purchased the product. I ended up missing a couple of days off college resulting in me not receiving my EMA payment, which then could Jeopardise my bonus payment at the end of term. I sincerely hope to hear back from you.

    This stuff has been amazing for me but I am sticking to the regime on acne.org - moisturising is essential. Only use the 2.5%, use liberally, use on freshly washed or shaved skin (leave a couple of minutes) so it gets into the pores, and twice a day. I have greasy skin usually but with this stuff you really need to moisturise - I use Neutrogena which is great. If it gets too dry then I skip a day, or one morning or evening. For me this has been a miracle find, just scared that it will stop being as effective although acne.org say it will continue to work for ever.

    I had very severe acne, i tried panoxyl aquagel 5%. It took most of it away, but it was still bad, I tried 10% but it was too strong. It does however leave your skin very irritant and peeling.

    When I first started to use bp on my forhead it took a couple of months for it to actually work it did controll the oil in the mean time. So, when It did start to work everything went away and I had clear skin. :) I was so happy and had a lot of selfesteem but then after a couple months of having clear skin my forhead started to develop bumps again. so, I got some more medication and then the next day when I woke up my forhead looked like it had been burnt! I don't know how it happened but the only acne medication that worked for me I bacame alergic to. :( I then was so desperate that I continued to use it on my forhead and then became ammune again but if it touches any other part of my skin or face then I end up looking like a red cherry. :( So, I am trying to find somthing that will help will my monthly breakouts on my chin area.

    5% worked the best for me. it did little for the acne, but my skin stayed oil-free for up to 3 hours, 2 1/2 hrs longer than if i use nothing.

    I used BP at the start, ruined a few pillow cases and it didnt seem to make any noticeable difference. Switched to antibiotics and started with Doxycline - 100% results, became immune to it after 6 months, switched to Minocycline 100% results now becomming immune also (12 months). Used Differin the whole time while on antibiotics and do not believe it made any major difference either. It definately didn't help with the cystic lumps coming back each time I became immune to the antibiotics.

    BP is indeed the best acne medication out there, yes, I say acne, and not pimple, for BP not only help clear pimples, it certainly helped with acne as well. Of all that I've tried, which includes Adapalene, Clindamycin and so many other formulas such as tea tree oil, BP is still the best. However, BP must be used in certain ways that will ensure that it will not overdry, first being do not use one that contain too high a concentration, while one may think that higher concentration means better results, this may well not be so, for a higher concentration may cause irritation, therefore 2.5%, and if need be, 5% at most be used. Next thing is to keep moisturizing your face, this is absolutely necessary to prevent drying out, and after trying out BP with moisturizer, along with an exfoliant, my acne has begun to clear up. Yes, even though not completely, but of all that I've tried, this is the best.

    Benzoyl peroxide helps, however, I believe it needs to be used in conjuction with an exfoliant such as salicylic acid. Personally, my skin cannot tolerate using benzoyl peroxide everyday. I like to use Neutrogena Acne Mask 2-3 times per week, which seems to help keep me clear. For everyday use, I use 2% salicylic acid treatment during the day, and Retin-A at night.

    I got a few zits so I started using this. Then i kept getting zits and was wondering if I became immune to the minocycline i've been taking because before I didn't need anything besides that to stay zit free. I think this works great if you use it in moderation...like every few days or something (.10 concentration) instead of the twice daily that they reccommend. Because I tried that and it doubled my acne. Like frangela9 i just get more zits on my nose and forehead. I stopped using it and amazingly my face is clearing up

    I loved Benzoyl Peroxide when i was younger and only got little whiteheads. But with hormonal changes came the bad cystic acne and benzoyl peroxide didn't help me anymore....haha actually made it worse because i'd try to pile it on, thinking it would make even bad acne go away (yes, that was my own error). Oh well, I miss the good times we used to have; I recommend it for mild breakouts and as spot treatment.

    Benza-clin is the best product i have ever used, wich is a combination of 2.5% benzoyl preoxide, and a combination of Clindamycin. I reccomend asking your dermatoligest, or even your peditrician (who perscribed it for me) about Benza-Clin, if you have never gotten complete controal of your acne.

    My chest was constantly breaking out in acne and nothing would help until I found out about Benzoyl Peroxide. I couldn't even wear V neck T shirts or even work shirts without getting seriously embarassed. Within days of trying Oxy On the Spot it disappeared and I am now acne free (obviously I need to use the cream twice a day, but it is worth every penny!) Thank you Oxy!

    I have moderate acne, and I am in my 30's. Retin A did not do much & I don't want to take oral medicine. The key is moisture and keeping your skin from getting irratated. It does work well when I stick with it. I stay clear, except my back which gets better.

    I used Brevoxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide), the really strong one that u get by prescription only and also Oxy On the Spot which is the low dose over the counter one. Both make my skin rediculously dry and i end up with more spots as a result. Really mingy ones as well. My doctor has now prescribed Zineryt, and i've started it today. Let's see what happens.

    I used Benzoyl Peroxide twice before. 5% and 2.5%, but both were too drying for my skin, and it didnt help at all. Basically just dry my skin out and no moisturiser would help. Have had acne since I was 14, am 20 now. Am trying Minocylcine Mr and Adapalene Cream. Hope it works, and lasts.

    Benzotl Peroxide works well if used regularly, but it is certainly not a miracle cure. If used daily it does help keep acne under control. Also, everybody should drink tons of water! Obviously water will not clear your skin, but it does help to hydrate it and look more radiant. Oh, don't forget to use suncreen religiously!!!

    I think the trick with this stuff is to stick it out for at least a few weeks even if your skin plays up from day 1. It really irritated me at first (I used 5%) and my skin is rarely sensitive to anything, I could barely move my chin it was so dry and was was red and peeling. But after 2 weeks my skin began to tolerate it and with a decent moisturiser in the day my skins now a lot clearer and I can use BP with no problems.Ive had better results with this over time than Ive had on 2 courses of accutane. It dosn't work for everyone but if you don't give it a chance you'll never know will you???

    I don't like benzoyl peroxide at all it dries the skin out way to much. Then your skin fights to produce more oil therefore making more severe acne

    I use PanOxyl Cream 5 (Benzoyl Peroxide 5%). I've been using it alone or with medication for years. It has never cleared me up, but the skin is definetely better when I use it every day. I have to be careful to use a generous amount of face lotion with it during the day, otherwise my skin will get extremely flaky.

    I've been using Benzoyl Perozide (persa-gel 10%) for over 20 yrs to controll my moderate acne. At 41yrs of age I still have to use it, but if I didn't I would have 20+ pimples all over my face (I was off BP a couple of times through the years) instead of the one to three a month I now get. The trick is a strick regiment and use plenty of BP lotion all over the affected area. I might consider using a 2.5% lotion now since I heard that is just as effective as a 10% BP

    It works ok if you have one pimple you're trying to get rid of. But as far as for ACNE, it's not effective. It always makes my forehead and nose breakout which I don't understand.

    I think benzoyl peroxide is a great acne medication. I cleared my skin up a lot, better than anything else I had ever tried. The only side effect it had for me was if I put too much of it on at one time. My skin is very sensitive and if I used too much it caused burning and redness of my skin.

    I've been using this ever since i had acne (4 years or so). the 10% clearasil OTC is the best from all the other OTC products. Benzamycin (perscription) which is half benszol per and erythomycin also worked well. Even after all this time, the bacteria have NOT adapted to Benzoyl Peroxide

    For mild acne, this medication is probably the way to go if your skin is not too sensitive. This medication can irritate skin very easily if a high dosage is used or if over-applied. The dosage that comes in most OTC's (usually 10%) is much too strong and will definitely overdry the face. I use Triaz, which is a prescription, and it is the 3% strength. Since I have used this dosage I have noticed less drying and peeling. I have noticed it does not work effectively for acne lesions.

    Although I have not tried the prescription benzoyl peroxide, the over-the-counter 2.5% cream is THE ticket for me. Without it I would break out all the time. With it, I'm clear.
