Rated 1 out of 5 by from Be careful! I used this for the first time and I have super dry and sensitive skin. I used this on some acne spots and I woke up the next morning with my face burned. The spots I used it on were all red and inflamed and burned my skin bad!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Product Impression I love all your products and I’ve struggled recently with acne around my chin so I thought I’d try this product. I love it and am seeing results, but is it suppose to burn? I’m not sure if it’s because my skin is sensitive?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cleared up my acne!! I started using this product six months ago and I saw results within a few weeks of using it. While the price is a little expensive, 100% worth it !! One of the best acne treatments I have use!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Saved my fave I truly believe that this brand has saved my face. I will always recommend this brand to people with sensitive skin. I’ve tried ever single brand in the market. I had such bad and painful acne. I started using this brands face wash and my whole skin changed. The duo acne spot treatment has really helped me with the little bumps on my forehead. I’m in love with this brand and I hope the formulas never change.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Break out This line of skincare products is simply not for me. I have very dry skin but not necessarily sensitive. I tried this and a couple other products from them and they make me break out. I would spot test first

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product for spot treatment This is always in my make up bag! All of the effaclear products are good but this spot treatment is my go to for daily flareups. It’s so easy to apply with just one drop and rub it in. Love it!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good for normal skin type I've used products with 10% benzoyl peroxide from other brands before and my skin got used to it. But this cream contains 5.5% and still caused some irritation the first few times. This cream is best used topically on active inflammation so you don't get unnecessary irritation. Sometimes I felt that the cream was too strong and left either a burn or a pigment spot on the application site, but I have very thin and sensitive skin. Perhaps this product is more suitable for those with normal skin.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great brand, options & quality; too pricey! Combinations like this sometimes help more than any single topical medication OTC or RX on acne. Lower BP % is also much gentler and faster acting than higher levels of it for acne. 2.5%-3% max will help best on problem skin.
