"This is by far the best product I have ever used, and the only one that has been effective consistently ( I have been using the gel and moisturizer for over a year).
I’ve had acne problems since I was in high school (I am 29 now), and I have used every product imaginable. Most products usually don’t work, or if they do, they only work temporarily until my skin adjusts to them. I’ve tried the brands you can buy at a drug store, the department store, what you can order on TV, and even a couple of prescription medications (both creams and an antibiotic) – the only treatment that ever helped was the antibiotics, and that’s something one can only use temporarily.
I love the benzoyl peroxide gel because it seems this is the only ingredient that works for my skin (salicylic acid never helped me much). The 5% seems to be the right amount too – I’ve tried other lotions with 10%, and those only make my skin worse because they tend to severely over dry it, and it ends up peeling, getting even oiler, and then breaking out more. I use the gel twice a day, and sometimes my skin does get overly dry and peels on occasion, but it happens rarely, maybe once a month or so, goes away in a couple of days, and I would rather have the occasional peeling than the acne I used to have.
The daily matte moisturizer is great, mostly because it doesn’t make my skin break out. Other UV moisturizers have that tendency, so it’s nice to be able to put this on and not worry about breaking out. It doesn’t make my skin appear any less oily, as you would suspect from the product description, but it does help with my skin not over dry from the benzoyl peroxide gel, and I take care of any extra oil during the day with blotting tissue.
I don’t use the foaming cleanser because I prefer facial scrubs, so I can’t say if it works or not. I tried it only a couple of times, and I just switched back to my old face cleanser."
