Perrigo 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Treatment Gel 60gm Tube

Tube was a good size and was a better deal than buying small sized cubes from stores near me. By the way my kids use the cream I needed a larger size! Definitely does it's job with reducing acne of used as recommended.

Este producto es excelente para secar los molestos granitos qué salen en tu piel. Solo hay que Aplicarlo de noche para que no te ireites con el sol

It has worked great for my skin, it has not irritated my skin or give me purgues, I love it! It does make it feel very dry.

Works!

He tenido buenos resultados, aunque no lo uso diario

For years I used a benzoyl peroxide gel that needed to be refrigerated. I only used it at night and still broke out so once I was done breastfeeding, I decided to ask the dermatologist if there was another product that would do a better job. In the next 9 months she prescribed me with a variety of products that ended up making my face flare up sooo bad that I avoided being in public and was miserable. At 35, I never imagined that I’d be dealing with 30 cystic bumps all over my face. I gave up, went to my general doctor who diagnosed with perioral dermatitis and prescribed antibiotics, after 4 months on antibiotics it was much better but not gone. She then prescribed me with a benzoyl peroxide wash which caused a flare up and then for many months battled with 30 plus spots of acne. It was a nightmare! I felt hopeless. I decided to call and ask for a prescription for a benzoyl peroxide gel to at least be putting something on my face. This exact bottle is what she prescribed and it was $28 through the pharmacy. For the record, it doesn’t have that foil seal on it even from the pharmacy. I saw someone comment on that and I also thought that was odd, but that’s how the manufacturer makes it. On the pamphlet from the pharmacy, it says it takes 6 to 8 weeks for optimal results and in bad cases it could be 10 weeks. I was surprised it would take so long to work but it’s important to be aware of this so that you don’t stop thinking it’s not working! At 6 weeks I finally got some relief but it really took a full 8 weeks to work. I do have to say that at 6 weeks I did start a round of 5 weeks of the same antibiotic that didn’t work before. I had that left over from the last prescription. This time in combination with this gel, it worked like magic!! Zero acne! I haven’t felt my face smooth in 2 years! I’m still in disbelief really. I’ve been off the antibiotic for a month and this gel seems to be keeping it under control. I’ll get breakouts here and there but they heal sooo quick and it’s NOTHING like before. I feel like my mistake was stopping using benzoyl peroxide in the first place. A decision I couldn’t regret more! I wanted to share this incase it helps anyone else.Also important to note that I use it night and morning and often will also wash mid day and apply because my skin is so oily. 2 to 3x a day. I put foundation over it and you can’t even tell!UPDATE:It’s been a year since I started using this exact product and my face is still doing great! I’ll get some acne before my period but so minor in camparison to what I was dealing with and it heals quickly. I no longer need to use 3x a day, and just use morning and night.

I had been dealing with facial acne for years (from a dairy allergy, unbeknownst to me....I eventually figured that out and my skin has cleared up), and my go-to face cream was benzoyl peroxide. Here's the deal. It works; you put this stuff on for a few weeks and things clear up nicely. However, you need to know that this stuff will stain clothes (so think wiping sweat off your face in the summer, scratching something then shifting your shirt around, etc.). Also know that your skin will get used to you using this stuff, and when you eventually try to wean yourself off it, your skin will likely become very bumpy, agitated, and oily for like a week until things settle down. Lastly, it dries out your skin pretty badly so you'll probably need to put on some kind of night lotion after you've washed this crap off for the day.So 2 stars for effectiveness, 3 stars lost for the downsides.
