Neutrogena Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Face Wash with 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Treatment Medicine, Daily Facial Cleanser to Reduce Size and Redness of Acne, Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Face Wash, 5 Fl Oz

I've been lucky most of my life to have fairly clear skin, I generally only get one or two massive zits at a time which clear up after a few days of smashing the hell out of them. I'm old enough now that I'm on a monostatic birth control pill instead of a tricyclic. It's been hell on my skin. I've had more acne with that than I did in puberty. I had found another product by the same company that managed to get that mostly under control.. until I got a CPAP with a sleep mask. The acne exploded after the second day of the mask being on my face. It was painful to use the mask and I think I was messing with the mask while I was asleep, due to the acne, and causing it to leak.Enter this product. My life is changed.I have fairly sensitive skin. I react to bug bites terribly badly and I'm apparently delicious. I burn after 5 minutes in the sun. I bruise easily. I get folliculitis (bumpy areas due to irritated hair follicles). I decided to test this product below my ear. I put it on, left it for about 30 seconds, washed it off, patted dry. Seemed fine the next day, so I put it all over my face (being very careful to avoid my eyes totally - nothing on eyelids anywhere) and left it for about 20 seconds, washed off, patted skin dry instead of rubbing the way I usually do. It left my skin feeling noticeably more oily than usual, after a skin cleaning product. That oily feeling went away after about 10 or 15 minutes, then I followed up with my normal moisturizer (also same company). The difference the next day was astounding. The folliculitis was gone. The acne was less painful. The large juicy ones were smaller and a lot easier to leave alone. I use it every other day because I'm paranoid, but even with just that, my skin is clear again. I can wear my sleep mask (it's also cleaned daily, so that shouldn't have caused the acne by itself) and actually get some sleep.It does NOT moisturize, it specifically dries out the skin. It has a bit of a chemical odor, but I have dyed hair and it's certainly no worse than that.TLDR:Test it out first in a small area - you might be allergic.Don't leave it on your skin like it's a mask. It's a very strong cleanser, you can get burned.DO NOT put it around your eyes - the product directions specifically say that.Pat your skin dry, some of the product stays on and if you rub it'll come off.Use little and NOT often until you know your skin can handle it.Absolutely fantastic product.

This really helped with my acne.......i highly recommend

EDIT: Been using this product for an additional two weeks (so a total of one month) and I can say I've seen definite improvement. Much less noticeable burning sensation, too. Skin dryness is still a thing, but it's worth it, for me, for the results I'm getting. Little to no acne, even during 'that time of the month' when I usually break out horribly. Upping my rating to four stars, would give it 4.5 if I could.I have oily skin, and I get acne all over my face, but most noticeably on my cheeks. My skin is not sensitive, and I have never had an allergy to anything.I've been using this product once daily for two weeks, now. I'm giving it three stars, because my skin is definitely clearer, but it's not a drastic improvement. I will continue using it, and if I notice more improvement in the future, I might bump my review up to four stars. However, there are some real issues to note with this product:- Firstly, it BURNS. When I put it on my face, and then for a short while after washing it off, there's an uncomfortable burning sensation. It's not terribly painful, but it's not great, either. However, this gets less bad with use. After a week, I barely felt it.- Along with the burning sensation, it makes my skin go kind of blotchy-red for a short while after use. No more than an hour or so, but enough that I didn't want to use this in the mornings if I was planning on leaving the house soon after. I'll stick to only using it before bed. Can't go to work looking like a tomato.- In the same vein, it's very drying, and I have oily skin. Definitely have a good moisturizer on hand, and if you already have dry skin, I don't think I'd recommend this product to begin with.- People aren't kidding about the bleaching thing. I put a tiny amount of cleanser on my face, scrubbed it off, and then used an exfoliator, and still, when I gently patted my face dry with a towel after, the towel ended up bleached yellow. Get some white towels. Seriously. (I have very fair hair, so I can't speak to this, but I do wonder what this bleaching might do if you have darker eyebrows...)Overall, I'd say the product is worth a try if, like me, you've tried everything else and you're desperate for anything that might help your acne. Clearly, some people have seen good results. But be careful, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin. Do a very small patch-test first, try using it first on a day when you don't need to be seen in public, and be ready to drown yourself in moisturizer.

Ok I have suffered for years and Doctor said I had rosacea, kept me on an anabiotic for one and it came right back when I stop the anabiotic. Went to dermatologist and all they wanted to do was burn them off and they came right back. No doctor ever give me anything that really worked.I’ve been buying different things off of Amazon and letting the drugstore recommend different things but have not found anything that will touch it.I am happy to say that after less than a month of use, my face is 90% better you can hardly tell it. Thanks so much Neutrogena for such a fine product. I average once a day, I normally do it while I’m in the shower and that way I get it all rinsed off good. I am very bad about keeping my hands on my face because it’s always itching but now I notice I’m not fooling with my face as much. I am rarely having any pimples like on my nose and around the bottom of my nose. I’m not getting any like water blisters on my face with little pimples. My nose is not sore so yes they have got a lifetime customer and it’s not expensive where you can afford to use it. If I had to buy it by the 5 gallon bucket I would do it LOL. By the way I am 65 years old and been suffering with it for 40 years. If this COVID-19 wasn’t going on we would all have a big party here in West Virginia to celebrate my face getting cured. If Neutrogena needs a spokesman I’m the man LOL.
