Acnecide Face Wash Gel 5% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Treatment for Spot-Prone Skin 50g

This product is great, brought for my son who had the start of what looked like acne, after a few washes it’s really cleared up and with regular use hasn’t returned! Even recommended to a colleague and it has worked fab

Purchased this as i had a Sebaceous Cyst drained on the back of my kneck and weeks maybe a few months after i noticed white heads appearing on and around my scar so immediately was concerned of the cyst getting re effected so i did some research and bought the Acnecide face wash gel and it did the trick after a while but in areas like the kneck it does get dirty so be patient but the white heads did eventually go

When I first started using Acnecide, my skin really struggled. I developed severe painful dry patches, and I can see why many people might discontinue use at this stage. However, I know my skin well, and I’d experienced a similar reaction years ago with the face cream version prescribed by a doctor.To manage this, I stopped using it for a short time to let my skin recover, then reintroduced it gradually with less frequent application. My biggest tip? Start slow. Use a small amount, and focus on the areas that need it most. For me, my cheeks were particularly sensitive to the product, so I avoided applying it there whenever possible. Now I can be far more relaxed with it, but I still wouldn’t over use eg. 2 times a day would be too much 7 days a week.The main thing that frustrates me about this product is how it’s described as a “face wash gel.” It’s not a gel-like consistency at all. It doesn’t foam, which might suggest it’s free from unnecessary fillers, but it makes it harder to use. It feels more like applying a thin moisturiser than a typical face wash, which can be a bit awkward.That said, I will continue to buy it, as there aren’t many easily accessible alternatives with 5% benzoyl peroxide. However, if a more traditional face wash with a similar active ingredient became available, I’d be eager to try it.A non screw top lid would also be favourable.I think reviewing this as 1-star because your skin reacted to the benzoyl peroxide is unfair as it's clearly marketed with this being the active ingredient and this is an extremely common reaction which is why you need to take your time with strong ingredients like these. If you struggle, then find products marketed as sensitive skin, which this isn't. It's not a product fault so low review don't make sense for this issue.

Exactly what I was looking for, gave me a noticeable glow after 2/3 uses, got few compliments from friends and familyWill buy againThank you

I’ve had terrible purging since using Tretinoin and after using benzoyl peroxide just once, I could already see a difference! 10 days in and spots are finally nearly all gone

This may be a great product for oily skin and closed spots, but it should not be used on inflamed or raw spots, but I did not find that out until I had the product and read the full leaflet. It is also very drying (which I guess is how it works) so their warning to start slowly is good, but it was no good for my type of acne and I did not find out until after it was delivered.

My son suffers from acne. As its so hard to get a doctors appointment I ordered this face wash for him to try. The wash is good but it bleaches flannels and towels, so be careful. It does seem to clean his skin well, but like I say has ruined numerous flannels and towels.

Bought the full skin care set and after a couple of days it started drying my skin out up to the point it was burning, felt like a chemical burn. My skin is left looking burnt dry and extremely painful. Left with having to buy e45 which has made the burning sensation lesson but don't recommend not unless u want to look like a burn victim
