I've been on a never-ending quest to find an acne treatment that actually works, and this 10% benzoyl peroxide wash is the closest thing to magic I've found. Unlike other BP products that leave my skin feeling like sandpaper, this one strikes a balance between effectiveness and gentleness.

The first thing I noticed was the texture - it's not your typical foamy cleanser. The non-foaming formula feels more substantial when applying, which makes me feel like it's really working into my pores rather than just sliding off. I use it primarily on my back and shoulders where I get the worst breakouts.

Here's my routine: After showering, I apply it to damp skin and let it sit for about 2 minutes (I worked up from 1 minute gradually). The tingling sensation tells me it's working without being unbearable. Rinsing leaves my skin feeling clean but not stripped - though I always follow up with moisturizer.

The results? Within three days of consistent use, my active breakouts started calming down. After two weeks, my problem areas were significantly clearer. What really impressed me was how it prevented new breakouts from forming - something most products fail at.

A word of caution though - this stuff will bleach anything it touches! I learned the hard way when my favorite navy blue bath towel got permanent white spots. Now I only use white towels after application and make sure to rinse thoroughly.

The packaging could be better (the pump does feel cheap for the price), but the product inside is worth it. For anyone struggling with persistent body acne who's tried everything else, this might be your holy grail too.
