I would 100% recommended this product! I was having an issue with acne ever since we had to wear masks and I’ve tried multiple different products and nothing seemed to work for me. And then I was on TikTok and a dermatologist was talking about products she recommends for acne so I gave it a try and this really worked for me!!! I was so surprised that it cleared all the acne, which looked HORRIBLE! Absolutely embarrassing! The only down side to it would be that it makes your skin a little dry but nothing too bad that would keep me from purchasing again. Just throw on a moisturizer and you’ll be fine. Definitely worth the price! Hope this helps!

I’ve loved & tolerated well everything I’ve tried from Paula’s Choice — the Clinical 1% Retinol and Skin Perfecting 2% BHA liquid exfoliator are staples in my regimen, so I thought this would be fine.
I put this on my face during my AM regimen and spent the whole day with a happy complexion. I washed it off, slept the night, and got out of the shower the next morning with a gnarly rash on my face. It was super sore, leathery, bumpy, red, scaly, and super itchy.
At first, I blamed it on a tea tree oil cream I tried for about 20min the night before. But just to double check, I swiped some of this on the side of my neck, and sure enough within 12hrs it was itching and burning with the rest of my face.
I washed it off thoroughly and slathered on extra-strength hydrocortisone cream (which stung like nobody’s business), following up with a super-soothing barrier cream to lock in moisture & prevent it from cracking.
It’s been 3.5 days and the rash is still there, but it is fading. I have to keep my regimen really really simple & gentle and avoid actives until it clears up completely.
Of course I am super bummed out about this, but it’s not the product’s fault, which is why I gave it 3 stars. At least I was able to return it, and now I know that I don’t react well to benzoyl peroxide.
My skin is sensitive to some things, but I’ve never had a reaction like this before, so I never had a reason to patch test any new product (until now).
Remember that even though this is a low concentration, benzoyl peroxide is still a strong ingredient with a relatively high sensitivity rate. So I highly recommend doing a small patch test on your neck before slathering this on your whole face.
Reactions like contact dermatitis and chemical allergies can be delayed as long as a week after the first use, so at the very least, leave the patch untouched and watch it closely for 24-48hrs.
Hopefully it works better for you than it did for me!

Wanted to like this product but it burned my face and left it so sensitive and painful. Feels fine to put on then starts burning 5-10 minutes later. Couldn’t even tell you if it works for the intended purpose as I stopped using after 3 days. Not good for my skin at all!

I am in my 40s. I still have monthly break out but recently it went from ok to horrible. I used lots of salicylic acid based products but the redness and new acne is still there. I used benzoyl peroxide products and notice excessive dryness leading to redness but this one did not! It actually helps to calm the redness and heal the acne! I can use it daytime and nighttime to speed up the acne healing! I highly recommend to try it even if you tried other benzoyl peroxide products before and found it too strong.

I purchased this as a last resort at the advice of a derm. I was having really bad reactions even at 5%. So much itching, peeling, even with plenty of moisturizer. This one is perfect. It actually feels a lot like a “gel” moisturizer going on- kinda thin and bouncy. It soaks in quickly and took the 12 hormonal acne cysts I had down in 48 hours. They aren’t invisible now but they aren’t painful, throbbing, and red.
I’m 32 and have combo skin, so I only apply it in my oily areas and across my jawline. I use this after I use my moisturizer and then let it dry for about two minutes before laying down. Remember folks- it still has benzoyl peroxide in it and can bleach some fabrics, including pillowcases.
Overall I rate this a 10/10.

For reference:
Combination skin type – oily/dry
Age – mid 30s
Acne – not severe and occasional outbreaks, maybe hormonal, not sure
Situation: had an acne outbreak specifically around my cheeks, and forehead. Redness all over my face.
I bought this product on a whim and IT WORKED for me! Lifesaver! I was starting a new job and I had recently broken out more than usual. I ordered the product on a Friday and received next day, Saturday. I used it first on Saturday and by Sunday morning I noticed my face was not as bumpy. My acne decreased DRAMATICALLY that day. I used it again on Sunday night, on Monday, my first day at my new job, my acne was gone. I know it sounds too good to be true, but it’s a true story. I had been using cureology and that worked until it didn’t. I also used CERAVE cream and that didn’t really do the trick either. Out of desperation, I tried this miracle working product. I still had/have redness, and I’m not too worried about that because the makeup takes care of it. I’m so grateful to have found this product just in time. Overall, It’s a great product. The size of the container is big and you really only need a THIN amount over your face/affected area. It is lightweight, yet powerful formula. Do not over do it… read below.
BUT…
DRYNESS: one downside is that my skin dried out, more around the mouth/cheek areas. So after two days, since it worked so well, I stopped using it. I have been using a moisturizer at night and morning to help, and it has been better. I’m only going to use it as needed.
STUNG: I also noticed that when I applied moisturizer, primer, or face wash, my face burned a little. Not horribly or unbearable, but I could feel the tingling sensation. Again, this is why I stopped using it after day two and will only use as needed.
As with all products, you have to find what works for YOUR specific type of skin. Thankfully, this worked for me. I’ll definitely buy again.
