Rugby Acne Medication - Benzoyl Peroxide Gel USP 5% - Vanishing Formula - Greaseless - Helps to Clear Up Acne Pimples - 1.5 Oz. (6 Pack)

In considering whether to buy this much BP 5% in one go, I was concerned about whether the quality of its formulation would match the excellent value for money seemingly on offer. Formulation is vitally important, it isn't just about whether the gel/lotion has 5% BP. (I'm guessing many of us looking at this listing are familiar with how long it took Dan Kern to perfect his 2% treatment - but 2% just doesn't cut it for some of us.) Badly formulated BP can greatly exacerbate things. So, I was very happy to open one of these--large!--tubes and apply this light, quickly absorbed gel that also smelled just right, i.e. no added perfume of any sort, seemingly, just a clean, pharmaceutical sort of pleasant smell. I typically use a well formulated (but somewhat costly) prescription 5% BP, so, I admit, my skin is used to that strength - nevertheless, no new irritation or peeling was caused by this high-value generic, which is probably decent testament to the quality of its formulation. Also, most importantly, no new breakouts since the switch (and, yes, it's been several weeks since the switch).It bears noting, though: If you're coming to 5% from 2%, there's a good chance there's going to be some irritation and possibly a lot of peeling, regardless of whether your complexion is on the oily side of the spectrum, and regardless of the quality of the gel's formulation (yeah, I know from experience).. Don't use too much too frequently at first. Take it slow and try to give it a chance. Also, I'm not a doctor, so I base this on only my own experience - ymmv.Bottom line: This is an excellent buy.P.S. To anyone young out there reading this, hopefully before you've got much scarring, the long-term-but-forever solution to beating regular-to-mildly-severe acne: Regular, religious BP, either 2% or 5% (credit for this goes to Kern), plus keeping one's scalp healthy and clean, i.e. no dandruff especially, perhaps by using a ketoconazole shampoo regularly, plus all the other health-promoting basics like sleep, water, exercise, etc. Yes, I wish I had known (way, way) back then...

Perfect product! I was using Acne.org's benzoyl peroxide but this is much better! I had SEVERE cystic acne all over my face, in two weeks I was no longer breaking out. I have been using this product for five years and LOVE IT. With acne.org's it took at least ten minutes to dry and I had to use it twice a day. I had bought some 10% Benzoyl from Walgreens and it made me dry up like a lizard. This is the perfect percentage. I use it once a day - at night and it dries within the time it takes to brush my teeth. This is ALL I need to keep my skin clear I absolutely love it. Please try this if you have acne!Also I order this in 8 tube batches which usually last me a year. On my second order the crimped ends busted open and dried out almost all of the product in about 4 of the tubes. I contacted Amazon almost a year later about this and they gave me a full refund, I bought more and haven't had the same problem!

My son's doctor prescribed this for his acne. Pharmacy said insurance doesnt cover the cream. $25 for one tiny bottle. Well the stuff works so I decided to buy it over Amazon instead and now pay 1/8th of the pharmacy price. Such a deal. Works just as good as the prescription bottle plus these squeeze tubes are much easier to get all the product out.

If you have sensitive skin and you feel like everything you've tried makes your skin dry, try this product. I've been using this product for few months now and I love it. It reduces the appearance of acne, prevents new acne from forming. I have tried everything, and this is the only product that did not damage my skin and I did not have to wait few months for results. I hate when they say "it will get much worse before it gets better". I don't believe in that. It either works, or it doesn't. This works.

Works great! Great price!

My cats break out with acne from time-to-time and this works great at fraction of cost as vet prescription.

Works really fast the pimple disappear after two day of applying the cream on the affected zone of the skin.

I wish I could have known about this product many years ago, my life hadn't been so miserable. This product doesn't dry out skin or give my skin a harsh feeling like Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% from Acnes.org did.
