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

I would buy again! It really helped me sooth my sensitive skin. Helped to bring back moisture.

This is the best face wash for blemish prone skin.I have tried everything in the market and it was waste of money.Acnecide really works,my skin is blemish free and you really need a tiny amount of it to wash blemish area.

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.

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.

I have suffered for years with bad breakouts, and recently it has got worse, most probably due to hormones (more under the skin spots then whiteheads). I’ve looked at so many different products but always been put off at how expensive they were. I read the reviews for this product and at such a reasonable price, I thought I’d give it a go. What a difference it has made to my skin and confidence. Each day I have noticed my skin clearing. I’ve used both the face wash and gel. I much prefer the face wash. The gel is good but found it definitely dried out my skin more than I wanted. I will always use this product from now and can’t recommend it enough.

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.

Value for money and the scent is pleasant.

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
