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

I’ve been using benzoyl peroxide for almost a year now. I use both the wash and the cream, which were prescribed by my doctor. Please do not purchase this without doing proper research beforehand. This product can cause major skin irritation if overused, and it can also bleach your pillows, towels, eyebrows, eyelashes, and even parts of your face.That said, it’s a very effective treatment and works well as an alternative to Accutane, especially if your acne is on the milder side. Be sure to ease your skin into it, as it’s quite strong. While it can be used daily, it will dry out the skin - which might not be ideal if you wear makeup regularly.In some cases, you might be able to get this prescribed for free through your doctor. Overall, I think this facial wash is definitely worth the money. But please only purchase it if you are having serious skin issues, not just as an everyday cleanser ! :)

Really helps keep spots under control. It foams up well, feels clean on the skin, and I noticed a big difference after a couple of weeks. A bit drying, but that’s expected with benzoyl peroxide—works exactly as it should

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.

Very effective ❤️ in just four days my face is clear . I strongly recommend itMy face was messed up after birth but now am the happiest person everJust read the instructions carefully before use and moisturise your face after ,me i use Vaseline jelly ☺️

I bought this from the recommendation off a mate to help eliminate under arm odour in the summer, and it definitely delivers! Haven't used this as an acne cream, but this defo kills the bacteria under your arms and prevents odour for sure!

It's been a week that I'm using this product. Skin becomes very dry . I doubt that this product is effective for scars.

I must say I’m really impressed with the results so far I purchased this face wash about 5 weeks ago now, I’ve read that you don’t get true results until 12 weeks onwards but I can definitely already see the difference!I’ve used the acnecide cream before but had a really bad reaction (itchy peeling red skin) so was a bit reluctant to trying this face wash, but after trying every single thing possible for my hormonal acne I thought why not .When I say I’ve tried everything I mean everything from cream’s , antibiotics, and hormonal tablets but this seems to be the only thing that has actually made a difference!! Super happy ! I’d recommend starting on a small amount to the skin to get your skin used to it, and I bought a cerave face cream to put on after to stop the skin drying out too much and seems to have worked a treat! :) but overall really happy with the results so far and I’ll post an update on the 12 week mark!

Awful product, bleaches everything it touches, even when you think you've washed it all off - 3 hand towels ruined - no refund policy! Don't purchase it!
