So this stuff is really the truth I took my client to the dermatologist and they had samples When I say I squeezed every drop out of that little tube I had to buy some of this stuff fast because when I break out I break out bad bad so if you’re thinking about it just get it pimples gone in a day or two no scars It’s the best trying dark spots eye cream next

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great but build up a tolerance! This cream helps my occasional hormonal outbreaks on my chin and cheeks and for outbreaks near my hairline from working out! It is expensive for me unfortunately. Also I do NOT recommend using several days in a row if you are new to benzoyl peroxide or have sensitive skin! I have built up a tolerance to BP over a few years and I still do not use it everyday. I pair it with a nice thick moisturizer.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Did not work for me It may work for others, but in my case it didn’t. After like two days using it my skin started itching a lot, some kind of rash/redness and breakouts. In my experience it’s a big no, and for the price really sad.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Awful First day used and my face was slightly itchy, I assumed my face was itchy from having oat milk that day. Second day used on a few spots only a bit itchy, again assumed it was from something else. Third time my whole face broke out in red hives for about three days and would not stop itching. Save your money don't buy this.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from It’s not for everyone. I was so excited to use this product but it turned out to be a huge disappointment. It seems to work amazingly in other people, but it has burned my skin so bad. It feels itchy, dry and my skin is red and peeling off. I love this brand and most of its products but this one hurts a lot and I don’t think it’s supposed to be that way. (I have oily acne-prone skin).
