    I am really glad I tried a sample of this before buying it. I was really excited the first day when I applied it thinly all over my face and it sunk it nicely. My skin felt and looked great that...

    This is great! Does not dry me out at all. I believe it works very well at healing blemishes, and it does not irritate my skin. I use the 2.5% solution. I don't completely mind the packing, it...

    This is too greasy for my super oily skin. And it kind of smells bad, too. I like Dan Kern's clear skin regimen BP gel much better. It is non greasy and also nonfragranced. But the Paula's...

    This benzol peroxide is great in both 2.5 & 5% concentrations. The 2.5% is a little more moisturizing than the 5%. But the 5% always works faster for me.

    Love it. I just use it as needed and it helps w/ the breakouts that manage to sneak by my daily regimen of the 2% BHA gel (normal/combo skin). I have a 4 oz bottle which should last me a very long...

    Works just as good, if not better, than ProActiv's repairing lotion at half the price. I use this just on problem areas after 2% BHA Gel. I like the tube as it's convenient to travel with - I do...

    Great stuff for teenagers (or anyone with acne). It is not too drying but clears up pimples fast. I don't like the new tube, I end up wasting the product. I also don't like that you get less...
