For acne!!!!
I’ve been using this cleanser for a few weeks and wow, it’s really changed how I feel about my skin. My breakouts were starting to frustrate me—especially around my forehead and cheeks—and this made a noticeable dent in them. The 4% benzoyl peroxide hits the acne hard, yet the added ceramides & niacinamide mean it didn’t leave me feeling totally stripped.❤️

is perfect
The ingredients are listed on the packaging. The effectiveness of this product is really good; it leaves magnificent results. Its fragrance is totally natural and delicious. The packaging is very cute and the texture is pleasant. I recommend it, girls.

Great for teen acne
This has worked so well on my teenage son's face. He does not get too much acne but he started using this because when he did get some it was pretty big. This reduced the size of the active acne and once he started making it a routine we noticed fewer breakouts. It is very affordable and did not cause any irritation on his skin.

Drying
At first, this worked great! It helped get rid of all the blemishes, except the blackheads unfortu ately, but even just using this 3x a week dried my face our terribly. I gave it to a family member, though, and it worked great for them

Confident Booster!
I LOVE this product. I am currently 5 months postpartum and my skin was a DISTASTER for the for 3 months pp. I normally don’t struggle with acne, but I’ll insert pictures. It was really bad. I came across this. I read “maximum strength” and I was like I need this. I pair it with the Resurfacing Retinol Serum and it is just amazing. I’m finally confident again!!!!

I love this product, recommended
The 10% works better than 4% which irritated my skin.
I remember it took five days to see visible change. I like the creamy feel cause it's less drying and it cleanses thoroughly.

super effective
I have struggled with acne for so long and been to the dermatologist so many times and they just continued to prescribe expensive and ineffective face wash options. I was recommended to use panoxyl but i didn’t really like the smell or that it stained my towels. I happens to stumble across this face wash and it has truly changed my life. My skin not only has cleared up ...

Very effective
Cleaning ingredients and light scent. Works very well on tough acne even as a spot treatment. I would recommend to anyone who has stubborn acne on body. Packaging is simple.

Did not foam
It doesn't foam for me. It feels like I'm cleanse my face with hair conditioner, as it produces no foam, suds, etc. My face *does* get cleansed from it, though it didn't help with my acne.

Great Product
This product actually helps with acne. I've always struggled with acne, and I have tried many products and none of them worked. So i was skeptical to buy this one but it got rid of all my acne in about a week. I've had the product for almost 3 weeks and now I have clear skin. Highly recommend

Helped my acne a lot!
The creamy formula transforms into a light lather upon contact with water, providing a refreshing sensation while cleansing. The wash is easy to apply, and a small amount is sufficient to cover the entire face. I found it worked well both morning and evening, effectively removing makeup, dirt, and excess oil without stripping the skin. After several weeks of consistent ...

Not for dry skin
I love this product, it works wonders on my skin. I got this sample size to try it out first, but will definitely go buy a regular size after this. It is scent free, has benzoyl peroxide!!
