RUGBY LABORATORIES Benzoyl Peroxide 10% Generic for Oxy-10 Balance Acne Medication Gel 1.5oz 3 Pack, 3 Count

We love these for my daughter who has HS but the price is getting to be too much. I am a long time buyer of these because they work and werent expensive. If they get any more expensive, I will find alternatives and spend $5-$6 per tube rather than $30 for 3 tubes.

HOLY. GRAIL. I’ve been dealing with blackheads, cystic acne (especially on my forehead & chin), clogged pores, whatever for as long as I can remember. I’ve spent hundreds, maybe thousands, on treatments and different products over the course of the last 13 years and NOTHING has worked like this stuff does. And trust me I’ve tried it all except accutane. This was my last resort before I gave up and I’m so happy I tried it. I don’t even wear makeup most days anymore. Cleared me up instantly. Idk how I didn’t find this sooner, but take it from me, this stuff is a staple in my routine and I’ll never go without it. 🥹

Benzoyl peroxide is the only product that helps decrease the amount of white head and pimples I get if I use daily after washing my face at night, although doesn't help with the ones near the jawline that are more hormone-related. One tube lasts a long time (I apply it all over my face almost every night). TIP 1: due to the peroxide, benzoyl peroxide will BLEACH some fabrics. I'm not sure which dyes/ fabrics get bleached because not everything done, but I learned the hard way and have a lot of colored towels and T shirts with bleach spots. TIP 2: Use SUNSCREEN with this because BP will make you more photosensitive --> more easily burn. TIP 3: When it no longer comes out, I cut the top of the tube (near the seal) to get at the remaining cream & re-clip it with a binder clip to keep it from drying out. Usually still a ton of cream left inside for another wk or two. I do this for lotion, toothpaste, and other items that come in these plastic tubes to reduce waste and be environmental.

I like everything about this except 1) it can feel a little gritty and 2) THE PACKAGING. Jesus! Why?! You think anyone who needs this stuff wants to set that in blast? This package design is equivalent to marching Cersei through the streets chanting SHAME SHAME SHAME. Holy crap, could they have put “ACNE” in a bolder font? I’m frankly surprised they spared the expense of not using gold leaf + glitter + neon. Yeah, that’s EXACTLY what you want people to see when they open your bathroom cabinet at a party, or waking up after a smoldery sleepover. 🙄 Friggin clueless. And the hideous funereal purple on generic-label white? This could not scream low rent any more than it does. I’m not saying I need to be swaddled in serene blue euphemistic portmanteaux in script font and angel wing imagery, refined gold/white on taupe with tasteful serifs, or even anything nauseatingly/comfortingly gendered like whimsical pinks, but at the very least, MINIMAL thought & brand strategy, for the love of god could they at least just clinically say “benzoyl peroxide” instead and if you know, you know? Way less humiliating. And yes, I *did* decoupage my bottles in camouflage. 🙄 (Turning the bottle was bothering me; because I like to have all the items in that cabinet faced & orderly.) I get it, some [people] won’t care. But they evidently either don’t realize how many do or they are just not invested in cornering market share. I can imagine the people who came up with this now: A) The straightshooter old Texan cowboy skincare tycoon who shows up to board meetings in boots: “Just say what it IS! I’m sick of always going to the store and how am I supposed to know what I’m looking at? Why don’t they ever just TELL you?!” Here’s yer fix, bud: 1) you’re an internet company, put acne medication in the product name & description. 2) Oh, you want to sell in brick & mortar too? Cool - put it on the box but make the actual tube inside more discreet. You already spent the money on color printing; they don’t charge by coverage. You could even scrimp on b/w printing, make the whole bottle black with a white font that just says “benzoyl peroxide 10%” & FDA mandatory details. B) the concerned midwestern mother in the board room, “Someone’s going to think it’s *toothpaste*. Can we just make sure that they don’t think it’s toothpaste?” She is wearing crocs and a carhart pullover. We don’t go to her for aesthetic decisions, k? Let the professionals handle it. C) Bitter former USSR optimizer, “The people must rise above bourgeois lies!! Let this packaging cast aside petty vanities and all the world tremble at our naked truth!! We shall not participate in commercial obfuscation. We are not ashamed of our needs! будь готов!” This is pure ideology at this point. My review is never gonna deradicalize em. “If he sees her medicine cabinet at the morning and did not approve of its honesty, he was not worthy! 🦾” But, you see, it’s not the fact that this simply states what it is - if all the world simply stated what everything was with honesty, oh sure, what an efficient (if occasionally dull) world, but it does not - and the contrast, the game theory of that contrast, the way this medicine cabinet looks next to the medicine cabinet of a wealthier influencer who’d pay $10 more for a less embarrassing bottle, that’s marketing as class warfare, not integrity, товарищ. 🫡

Best acne product out there for the value!!! I used to use proactiv which is around fifty bucks a month. Couldn't afford it anymore so I stopped and broke out like crazy. Was recommended this by my doctor and wow! I put a layer on my face every night and have NO dryness and NO pimples. I don't use it as a spot treatment which I think is where people are mistaken and that's why they think it doesn't work. Use it all over your face to prevent the pimples. And if a pimple pops up this product kills it overnight. I also experienced a horrible episode of back acne which was painful and embarrassing. I TRIED EVERYTHING. Even sixty dollar back sprays. I decided to spread this one my back for the heck of it (yes it can be quite difficult to reach your back), but now I seriously have no issues on my back at all. I want to marry this cream and have its babies. Have used it for years and will always use this cream.
