Acne.org Treatment (2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide) 16 oz. - Ultra Micronized, Pharmaceutical Grade Acne Treatment

This stuff is seriously a miracle in a bottle. I am 24 and have had acne since I was 12-13. Mine is hormonal, the cystic kind that is deep and painful and highly noticeable and leaves scars. I began using this a few years ago and followed the 3step regimen perfectly at first. For the first time, my face cleared up really well. Eventually I got lazy and was only using this part of the 3step process. My clear face was pretty well maintained despite this. Well, I ran out of my most recent bottle and wondered if perhaps I could manage without it by now. So I didn't order a new bottle. Bad idea. My face absolutely went nuts. I kept trying to avoid buying another bottle, trying other remedies. I finally gave up in desperation and placed the order. Once again, my face is CLEAR. I am following a slightly different routine with the treatment and I believe it is working even better than anything I've done before now. Here is what I do every night before bed: 1) Face Wash - I started making homemade face wash. It is a mixture of organic, unrefined coconut oil and baking soda. You would be amazed! This stuff leaves my skin feeling so soft and clean. I LOVE it. 2) Acne.org Treatment - I use this stuff liberally. I use 2 full pumps and put it all over my whole face. I buy it in the biggest bottle and it lasts for a really long time. It's expensive up front but it's well worth the money and lasts for so long. 3) Moisturize - I use organic, unrefined coconut oil as needed. My face tends to get plenty of moisture just from the coconut oil that is already in my face wash do I use this only if my face seems dry to me. Every morning: 1) Face Wash - I use my homemade face wash while showering. 2) Makeup - I don't use treatment in the mornings as it just doesn't seem needed. My face is very clear just using nightly. My face is usually plenty moisturizer from my face wash so I don't usually need any extra. The exceptions are it I am sunburned or my face just seems extra dry. In such cases I may use just a tad of coconut oil (sparingly) before applying my makeup. This process is what works for me. Without following it, my face gets to be in very sad condition. But after a couple months back using this treatment, my face is so clear. My husband has even commented a couple times about how good it's looking. He says he doesn't mind spending the money on this stuff because even HE can see that it works and he knows how much better I feel about myself when my face is clear. I'm sure he also likes looking at me and seeing a pretty complexion! If you're going back and forth on whether or not to try this, take the plunge. Since my teen years I have tried everything. Proactiv, dermatologist prescribed creams, dermatologist prescribed antibiotics, every drug store acne product. Most of these products didn't work at all and the few that did were temporary fixes that my skin became immune to and stopped working. This is truly the only product that works consistently. I will never stray from using it again as I now know that it is the key to keeping my face under control. BUY IT!

I've used benzoyl peroxide for 25 years - used regularly it completely controls my acne (arms, shoulders, and back). I have perfect skin when I use it. Yet if I neglect to use it for a few days, I usually start to break out again, sometimes very badly. I love this product because it's the perfect strength - 2.5% - which I haven't been able to find on the market in many years. For years all I could find in drugstores was the 10% cream, which is far too potent for my skin. So I've long had to combine the available 10% strength cream with a neutral skin cream (in a tupperware container!) to bring it down to approximately 2.5%. It's great to not have to do that anymore! Tips on using benzoyl peroxide: 1) Benzoyl Peroxide will bleach out all colored fabrics. You don't want to get it on clothing, sheets, or towels, or let it drip or splatter on carpets or furniture. It took me many years before I stopped ruining shirts, sheets, and towels, but here's how I now do it: a) I use benzoyl peroxide products ONLY AT NIGHT, am careful not to splatter or drip while applying, and I take a thorough shower each morning with soap and a loofah sponge to remove it fully; b) I apply it to shoulders, arms, and back, let it dry, then put on a long-sleeved white t-shirt (I order these online for $3 apiece). I don't use any creams on my shoulders/back during the day, so there is no need to wash anything off first. If I use it on my face (where I apply sunscreen daily), then I wash my face with soap and water first to remove most of it. c) I only use white sheets, pillow cases, and towels. d) I store dirty benzoyl peroxide clothing/sheets/towels in a different laundry bin, and wash it separately from my other laundry. e) If you've never used benzoyl peroxide creams, or your skin is sensitive, it's probably best to start using this every other day and build up. I use it every night with no problems, although I am careful not to get it near the thinner skin around the base of my neck, because it can sometimes irritate me there. A bit of a pain, all that, but by adhering to the above I haven't bleached a single piece of clothing for many years. For me it's the most effective and reliable thing for acne! Also, the related cleansers and moisurizers are just gimmicks. There is no need for them, but people seem feel better buying a multi-stepped 'system' (Plus it's more profitable for the seller!). I just use soap and loofah to strip off oil and dead skin every morning, then re-hydrate any areas needing it (face) with a moisturiser of my choice.
