    I really like this because unlike the crease benzoyl peroxide cleanser I can actually use this more than once a week and it doesn't dry my face out beyond repair. Which makes it more effective! But I have bought it twice and the first time the cap was so hard to close and this time the cap doesnt close at all. Furthermore you cant store it standing up bc it leaks, even through the cap that did end up closing because its too loose for the bottle.

    Wanted to love this, as I was dealing with occasional acne around my chin/jawline and sometimes on my cheeks. I started using it regularly in early August and was experiencing more breakouts, but I thought I was simply purging. It’s been 5 weeks now and the breakouts haven’t stopped. Will not be continuing use. For reference I have normal to dry skin.

    I’ve previously used the Panoxyl face wash 4% and thought I would try this product with 5% benzoyl peroxide (bp). My dermatologist told me when using bp to leave it on my face for a minute and then rinse off but I couldn’t last that long. My face immediately started burning and turned tomato red. My face is extremely warm and feels like a sunburn on my entire face. I do not recommend this face wash for the face! I use it to wash my underarms to help with odor control and I haven’t had any bad reaction there.

    I am a huge fan of this cleanser and have been using it every night since I bought it around 2 years ago! I was having really bad breakouts at the time and I noticed a huge difference after I started using it and now my skin is totally clear except for the occasional period zit. I wasn’t surprised by its effectiveness because it is very similar to PanOxyl (as stated in other reviews) with benzoyl peroxide being one of the main ingredients which was suggested to me by my dermatologist for my acnback in high school. Naturium doesn’t dry my skin out nearly as much though. I use it once every night after removing my makeup and follow it up with their zinc serum and it has kept my skin looking healthy since. It can slightly bleach your towels if you don’t rinse it really good but not horribly. I just make sure to use the same washcloths to dry my face and wear a shirt i don’t care about potentially staining a bit. But again it’s so minor and hasn’t completely ruined anything of mine. This face was has done wonders for my skin and I don’t think I’ll ever switch to anything else. Also happy the brand is cruelty free bc unfortunately not many things actually are. I want to add that I did suggest it to a friend and they told me it didn’t work for them so like every skincare product it really just depends on skin type and what’s causing your acne. I love this face wash for me though and will brag about how good it is for my skin any day of the week haha! I wish I knew the causes of my acne so I could suggest it to anyone that has the same problems but I can say this is a wonderful option for anyone who has used PanOxyl and likes it. The Target closest to my house stopped selling it for some reason (which worries me because every product I fall in love with suddenly becomes impossible to find) so I will be driving to the second nearest Target to buy it from now on. Hoping they don’t quit caring this brand all together because this face wash has been so good to me!

    I been using another brand that also has benzoyl peroxide when I decided to give this product a chance. The first time I used it it did sting my cheeks a bit and left them red for a good hour but after the second time it was more gentle on my face and it felt smooth. So far the downside is if you don’t close the lid fully it might spill. Packaging could be fixed in the future to prevent this.

    Reviewer - 1 year ago
    This face wash is my holy grail. I had HORRIBLE acne for about two years. I tried CeraVe it didn’t do anything for me, and I tried every single one of their face washes. La Roche Posay made it 100 times worse. I even caved and bought drunk elephant I was so desperate. None of them worked. Finally one of my friends told me about this product and I went for it. In a month my acne was gone and my skin has been clear ever since. (Past 6 months) I use this face wash in the morning with their tropical acid, vitamin C serum, and moisturizing sunscreen. And then at night I use it with their Salicylic acid serum 2% and the Encapsulated salicylic acid moisturizer 0.75%. Absolute gold.

    I started using this because I wanted a BP cleanser that was vegan and cruelty free. I've been using it for 16 months, and it is just as effective as what my dermatologist prescribed. Non drying, non irritating, and really keeps breakouts to a minimum. The only downside, it's is super runny and like all BP products, will bleach your clothes and towels. I use white towels and rinse thoroughly and it's fine. I store it upside down in my shower caddy to keep it from leaking out and always shake it up before using, and that keeps the product at its best.

    I have been using this for about 3 weeks 2x daily. Improvements in acne for sure. I also include a retinol and SA/Azelaic acid in my routine. I usually leave this on for 15-30 seconds. Every once in a while if I feel I need it, up to a minute. Moisturize really well after! Packaging could be better, spilled a bit in my suitcase. But the formula is great for me !

    It caused a lot of redness and a bit of irritation. Which I’ve used the 10% panoxyl face wash and it doesn’t irritate my face at all.

    I've used this product off and on over the last year- I won't say it has helped my acne, but it hasn't hurt it. I have relatively sensitive skin, and it is mild enough that it doesn't dry it out with daily use in the summer months. I cannot use every day in drier weather or winter though. My primary reason for review however is to warn others to be careful of this product around your clothes! I have had two brand new sets of pjs ruined because of small splashes of this product mixed with water bleaching splatters on them. There is no warning on the packaging, which is unfortunate as I generally read all instructions and warnings before using skincare and would have known to keep it away. Just hoping to keep someone else from the same heartbreak :'(

    i bought this item on a whim while browsing for a new cleanser and i'm glad i did. i was suffering with really bad hormonal/stress acne and this cleared it up. paired with the moisturizer they really changed my skin. i still get my usual 1-2 pimples during my time of the month, but nothing as bad as it used to be (which was both my cheeks covered in cystic-like pimples) i've been using both products for over a year.

    Ahh I love this cleanser! It's light weight and effective. I purchased it to use with the Sulfur Spot Treatment 8% to tackle my random, seasonal and/or angry acne (e.g. from food or product allergies). It took about a week and a half of use as suggested and all my pimples not only disappeared but also stayed gone! I use it only when needed as I only have random or seasonal breakouts and I don't want to irritate or dry out my skin with continuous use. However this does such an excellent job - needless to say should a pimple make an uninvited appearance, I'm ready!!!!!
