12 Best & Worst Acne Products
Editor's Rating & Review
There's a reason teenagers reach for this stuff, and why you shouldn't hesitate to when a pimple shows up. It works. This 10 percent benzoyl peroxide cream is the highest percentage of the active ingredient you can buy. It helps heal newly formed pimples and pre-popped or picked ones. Warnings: First, it can be very drying or cause irritation on some skin types, so start by applying once daily. Second, protect your pretty pillowcases -- it will bleach them out.

Absolutely awful.
I have senstitive skin, and not only did this problem do nothing to help my skin blemishes, it made it red, tight, shiny and inflamed. Terrible result, I do not recommend this.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 9 people said helpful

Like it, but beware
Use this VERY sparingly, because it is extremely drying. I only use it when I get bad breakouts because it does work well. I see a significant improvement overnight. I apply this at night only because it dries your skin quickly and it would exacerbate it under sun exposure. Make sure you use a very hydrating, non clogging moisturizer after this. Your skin will feel a bit dry and irritated, but it works. Like I said, just use it when you absolutely need to.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 13 people said helpful

This helps my skin, when combined with a good cleanser and toner!
I have terrible acne and very oily skin that doesn't respond to lower dosages of any anti-acne medicated cleansers, moisturizers, toners, etc. I use this product every day, twice a day and it really helps keep acne at bay (not recommended if you have sensitive skin though, or if you just have a few pimples now and then! My skin is not sensitive at all, and has had severe acne issues for years). It...read more's a great product, and a great price. I've used more expensive acne treatment products but because there isn't as much benzoyl peroxide, they don't seem to help me as much. It doesn't get rid of my acne completely, but it definitely helps clear it up more quickly than it would on its own, and helps reduce the amount of acne. The only issue I have is the effect it has on your clothes! Like others have said, be very careful because this WILL bleach your pillowcases, clothes, towels, etc.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 13 of 24 people said helpful
