You people need to realize that from start to finish, 1 pimple typically takes over a month to actually show up on the skin. If your acne has gotten worse from using any of these products, it's probably because it's exploiting all of the cysts and clogged pores, which you should be thankful for because its bringing everything to the surface FINALLY. Give it time, acne has a pattern/cycle that needs to be learned, just like the medication being used on it. Here's a perfect example: I NEVER have broken out on my forehead until after I used BP 10% - - then after a few weeks (and still using BP) the forehead breakouts stopped and is now manageable. At first I was skeptical that this stuff was making my skin worse. Then I thought about it. How can anything that helps clean the skin make you worse off after using it? Maybe for awhile its worse than before you started but think about what that medication is doing. It's loosening up weeks and months of dried oil in your pores. It only has one way to go and that is out through the pores, which makes pimples occur. Acne cannot possibly be manageable unless your pores are clean. Think of the post-treatment breakouts as a silver lining, or miracle in disguise. Like any injury or wound, treatment and healing takes time, so be respectful and let nature do it's thing once you begin treatment. the only thing I can think of if it doesnt begin to work after a few weeks (and you must give a product at least 3 weeks to see if it works or not) Then pursue other means, and i know being kids in school you want that nasty acne to go away as quick as possible, but like i said it takes time, and it would be worth it to stick with a regimen and deal with the effects for awhile, it will be worth it in the end. Sorry this was so long but I understand what you and I are going thru. Hope this motivates you a little bit.1

This stuff has been amazing for me but I am sticking to the regime on acne.org - moisturising is essential. Only use the 2.5%, use liberally, use on freshly washed or shaved skin (leave a couple of minutes) so it gets into the pores, and twice a day. I have greasy skin usually but with this stuff you really need to moisturise - I use Neutrogena which is great. If it gets too dry then I skip a day, or one morning or evening. For me this has been a miracle find, just scared that it will stop being as effective although acne.org say it will continue to work for ever.0

I had very severe acne, i tried panoxyl aquagel 5%. It took most of it away, but it was still bad, I tried 10% but it was too strong. It does however leave your skin very irritant and peeling.0

When I first started to use bp on my forhead it took a couple of months for it to actually work it did controll the oil in the mean time. So, when It did start to work everything went away and I had clear skin. :) I was so happy and had a lot of selfesteem but then after a couple months of having clear skin my forhead started to develop bumps again. so, I got some more medication and then the next day when I woke up my forhead looked like it had been burnt! I don't know how it happened but the only acne medication that worked for me I bacame alergic to. :( I then was so desperate that I continued to use it on my forhead and then became ammune again but if it touches any other part of my skin or face then I end up looking like a red cherry. :( So, I am trying to find somthing that will help will my monthly breakouts on my chin area. 0

5% worked the best for me. it did little for the acne, but my skin stayed oil-free for up to 3 hours, 2 1/2 hrs longer than if i use nothing. 0

I used BP at the start, ruined a few pillow cases and it didnt seem to make any noticeable difference. Switched to antibiotics and started with Doxycline - 100% results, became immune to it after 6 months, switched to Minocycline 100% results now becomming immune also (12 months). Used Differin the whole time while on antibiotics and do not believe it made any major difference either. It definately didn't help with the cystic lumps coming back each time I became immune to the antibiotics. 0

BP is indeed the best acne medication out there, yes, I say acne, and not pimple, for BP not only help clear pimples, it certainly helped with acne as well. Of all that I've tried, which includes Adapalene, Clindamycin and so many other formulas such as tea tree oil, BP is still the best. However, BP must be used in certain ways that will ensure that it will not overdry, first being do not use one that contain too high a concentration, while one may think that higher concentration means better results, this may well not be so, for a higher concentration may cause irritation, therefore 2.5%, and if need be, 5% at most be used. Next thing is to keep moisturizing your face, this is absolutely necessary to prevent drying out, and after trying out BP with moisturizer, along with an exfoliant, my acne has begun to clear up. Yes, even though not completely, but of all that I've tried, this is the best. 0

Benzoyl peroxide helps, however, I believe it needs to be used in conjuction with an exfoliant such as salicylic acid. Personally, my skin cannot tolerate using benzoyl peroxide everyday. I like to use Neutrogena Acne Mask 2-3 times per week, which seems to help keep me clear. For everyday use, I use 2% salicylic acid treatment during the day, and Retin-A at night. 0

I got a few zits so I started using this. Then i kept getting zits and was wondering if I became immune to the minocycline i've been taking because before I didn't need anything besides that to stay zit free. I think this works great if you use it in moderation...like every few days or something (.10 concentration) instead of the twice daily that they reccommend. Because I tried that and it doubled my acne. Like frangela9 i just get more zits on my nose and forehead. I stopped using it and amazingly my face is clearing up 0

I loved Benzoyl Peroxide when i was younger and only got little whiteheads. But with hormonal changes came the bad cystic acne and benzoyl peroxide didn't help me anymore....haha actually made it worse because i'd try to pile it on, thinking it would make even bad acne go away (yes, that was my own error). Oh well, I miss the good times we used to have; I recommend it for mild breakouts and as spot treatment. 1

Benza-clin is the best product i have ever used, wich is a combination of 2.5% benzoyl preoxide, and a combination of Clindamycin. I reccomend asking your dermatoligest, or even your peditrician (who perscribed it for me) about Benza-Clin, if you have never gotten complete controal of your acne. 0

My chest was constantly breaking out in acne and nothing would help until I found out about Benzoyl Peroxide. I couldn't even wear V neck T shirts or even work shirts without getting seriously embarassed. Within days of trying Oxy On the Spot it disappeared and I am now acne free (obviously I need to use the cream twice a day, but it is worth every penny!) Thank you Oxy! 2

I have moderate acne, and I am in my 30's. Retin A did not do much & I don't want to take oral medicine. The key is moisture and keeping your skin from getting irratated. It does work well when I stick with it. I stay clear, except my back which gets better. 1

I used Brevoxyl (Benzoyl Peroxide), the really strong one that u get by prescription only and also Oxy On the Spot which is the low dose over the counter one. Both make my skin rediculously dry and i end up with more spots as a result. Really mingy ones as well. My doctor has now prescribed Zineryt, and i've started it today. Let's see what happens. 0

I used Benzoyl Peroxide twice before. 5% and 2.5%, but both were too drying for my skin, and it didnt help at all. Basically just dry my skin out and no moisturiser would help. Have had acne since I was 14, am 20 now. Am trying Minocylcine Mr and Adapalene Cream. Hope it works, and lasts. 0

Benzotl Peroxide works well if used regularly, but it is certainly not a miracle cure. If used daily it does help keep acne under control. Also, everybody should drink tons of water! Obviously water will not clear your skin, but it does help to hydrate it and look more radiant. Oh, don't forget to use suncreen religiously!!! 1

I think the trick with this stuff is to stick it out for at least a few weeks even if your skin plays up from day 1. It really irritated me at first (I used 5%) and my skin is rarely sensitive to anything, I could barely move my chin it was so dry and was was red and peeling. But after 2 weeks my skin began to tolerate it and with a decent moisturiser in the day my skins now a lot clearer and I can use BP with no problems.Ive had better results with this over time than Ive had on 2 courses of accutane. It dosn't work for everyone but if you don't give it a chance you'll never know will you??? 0

I don't like benzoyl peroxide at all it dries the skin out way to much. Then your skin fights to produce more oil therefore making more severe acne

Dan Kern's Regimen

How did the Regimen come about?

For years I experimented with every conceivable over-the-counter and prescription acne treatment, including retin-a, antibiotics, cleocin-t, sulfur, salicylic acid, and several others. Some cleared me up a little bit, but never a very noticeable difference. The one thing that always seemed to work was benzoyl peroxide, the key ingredient in the over-the-counter medications like Oxy or Clearasil. Although benzoyl peroxide worked better than the other medications I had tried, it still did not work well enough. I now know why. I was not being gentle enough with my skin, and I did not use adequate amounts of benzoyl peroxide.

I finally found a routine that cleared me up about ten years ago. I was astonished and elated to find myself free of acne after so many years of experimentation. As it turns out, my current regimen works remarkably well for almost every person who follows it precisely. I encourage anyone with light to moderate acne to try it. If the regimen were an equation it would look something like this:


Gentle Cleansing + Plenty of 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide
+ Adequate Moisturization = Acne-Free Skin

Why does the Regimen work so well for so many people?

I have conducted research in many books, medical manuals, and dermatology journals in an attempt to understand why my regimen is so effective. The success of my regimen can be boiled down to the facts that:

  • Acne begins with a plugged follicle. The trapped bacteria (p. acnes) inside the follicle multiplies. Benzoyl peroxide addresses this situation well. Benzoyl peroxide is a mild drying and peeling agent, thought to keep pores from becoming plugged in the first place. Next comes the most powerful part about benzoyl peroxide. It kills acne bacteria better than any other medication on the market, prescription or otherwise. This is why benzoyl peroxide has been a mainstay of acne treatment since the 1930s. What I found is that you have to use enough of it. If you use plenty of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide and stay gentle, you'll be on your way to acne-free skin. It sounds so simple, and really it is. I wish someone had given me this advice years ago. Also, unlike antibiotics, it is impossible for your skin to develop a tolerance to benzoyl peroxide. If it works at first, it will always work.
  • Irritation of the skin can aggravate acne, and should be avoided. The Regimen is not just about application of generous amounts of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, it is also about how you treat your skin. The exact science of what causes pimples is not known. It is known, however, that irritation can make it worse. As long as you are not picking at your face, scrubbing it with a harsh washcloth, or otherwise irritating it, your skin is primed for benzoyl peroxide. Because an effective acne regimen requires a non-irritated face, if your skin is already irritated from the medication you are currently using, it may be a good idea to give your skin a few days to get back to normal before embarking on this regimen.

If your acne is light to moderate
characterized by
whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules

Go to the next page, where you can view the supplies you will need to do the regimen for yourself.


If your acne is severe
characterized by
cysts and nodules

Hundreds of people have written saying the Regimen worked on their severe acne. Feel free to go to the next page and try the Regimen for yourself. However, in some cases a visit to your physician or dermatologist may be necessary. You may want to inquire about Accutane.

Diet as your natural Acne treatment

The skin is the largest organ of the body and it helps other organs with eliminating waste. One of the best acne treatments is a diet which will help the body eliminate waste so that it won't interfere with your skin and cause acne. If you are unhealthy on the inside it will be reflected in your skin.

It is the livers job to remove hormones from the body. If your liver can't remove hormones fast enough you will end up with too much oil in your skin because hormones are like an instruction manual telling your skin to produce more oil. The function of the liver is also to get rid of toxins. If there is an over-load of toxins in your body, the liver can have problems removing hormones.

So what toxins concern acne sufferes the most? Mycotoxins. These nasty little chemicals are the 'excreted' waste of bacteria such as yeast, and usually found in the intestines. Mycotoxins put a strain on your liver and you already know what happens when your liver doesn't get rid of hormones!

Using diet alone as a natural acne treatment was not as bad as I had thought it would be. There are many foods that help the liver and help remove waste from the body.

What foods are good for cleaning the body? Two of the best foods are apples and psyllium husks. They both contain fibers that act like a broom and absorb and push out all the junk that's stuck in your intestines, sometimes stuff that has even been there for many years! The 'junk' is also the perfect breeding ground for the bacteria that produce mycotoxins.

And what foods are good for helping the liver? Beetroot. Beetroot is known for it's exceptional liver cleansing properties. Another good food, or herb actually, is milk thistle. Scientific studies have suggested that certain chemicals in milk thistle protect the liver from damage caused by viruses, toxins and alcohol.

To cure your acne, you need to correct the problems inside your body that are causing your acne. No over-the-counter creams can do this. They can only kill bacteria on your face and help reduce the redness.

Would you like to learn about a 3 day diet plan that has cured thousands of people around the world of acne?

It's considered one of the best internal cleansing methods and also one of the easiest. It's called: Acne Free in 3 Days.

Simple home acne treatment

You can do several things to improve acne. There are even some things you can as an overnight home pimple remedy.

If you are hoping for fast treatment you could try one of the over-the-counter creams or lotions as an overnight home pimple remedy.

Some people think that an overnight home pimple remedy is to pop the pimples. This is not a good overnight home pimple remedy. It is better to leave them alone.

Another overnight home pimple remedy is to wash with a soap that contains aloe vera. This may not clear up the acne immediately but it can help.

A cleansing diet can be a good way to begin an overnight home pimple remedy plan. Another idea when starting an overnight home pimple remedy program is to make sure the acne is not caused by allergies to foods, cosmetics or other products.

Check with your doctor for an idea for overnight home pimple remedy. Your doctor may refer you to a dermatologist who may also have an overnight home pimple remedy.

Magazines sometimes have the latest thoughts and things to try if you are looking for an overnight home pimple remedy.

Your pharmacist may be helpful if you are searching for an overnight home pimple remedy. She may be able to recommend a product that the pharmacy carries.

You can clean your skin with apple cider vinegar as an overnight home pimple remedy. Another overnight home pimple remedy consists of cleaning your skin with lemon juice.

One overnight home pimple remedy may work better for you than another. Try different remedies until you find the one that works for you.
