humane Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Body Wash - 10% Maximum-Strength Face, Skin, Butt, and Back Acne Treatment - 8 Fl Oz - Dermatologist-Tested Non-Foaming Acne Face Wash Cleanser - Vegan, Cruelty-Free

Pros: - Unscented - High quality and effective 10% benzoyl peroxide - Good consistency for easy application to the face - Easy to wash off - Large bottle with easy to use "duckbill" dispenser Cons: - Slightly harsh and can dry your skin Personal Experience: I am a male in my early 30's and have had issues with facial acne since my teenage years. I always expected it to just go away as I got older, but that never did quite happen. I learned to manage it over the years by trying to get good sleep, maintain stress, eat healthy, and to regularly wash my face. Over the years, I have literally tried over a hundred different products (face masks, creams, oils, retinol, glycolic acid, glycerin face washes, clay, tea tree oil, aloe, salicyclic acid, spot treatments, etc) from every imaginable brand in every price range. For years, nothing worked consistently until I came across AcneFree's benzoyl peroxide "Leave on Foam" that came in an aerosol can. It literally changed my life and was the single product that worked. Unfortunately, the product has since been discontinued and I was on the hunt again. My dermatologist simply stated that all benzoyl peroxides are the same, and the form of delivery is the only thing that really changes (whether it's a foam, spray, cream, spot treatment, or wash), but I came to suspect that this was only partly true. Your face can respond differently to the delivery system used, and companies can use varying qualities of benzoyl peroxide in their products. For me, benzoyl peroxide seemed to be the most effective active ingredient for my acne, so I proceeded to try product after product all over again that contained varying percentages of benzoyl peroxide (from 2.5% to 10%) in different delivery forms. To be honest, I still have yet to find something as good as the AcneFree "Leave on Foam", but I was pleased to finally find the Humane Benzoyl Peroxide 10% wash. As of now, this face wash is 1 of three benzoyl peroxide washes that I have found to be effective for me. The other 2 being Panoxyl and Topix Benzoyl Peroxide. Panoxyl dries out my skin too much, so I have stopped using it. I am not sure if I like this better than Topix (also an excellent choice), so I will continue to see over time. The Humane Benzoyl Peroxide is unscented (actually has a faint benzoyl peroxide smell, but it is not unpleasant), is easy to apply and wash off your face, and most importantly, it has worked to keep my skin clear. I haven't had a single pimple while using this. My only complaint is that the Humane Benzoyl Peroxide wash dries out my face (not as much as Panoxyl, but more than Topix). I recommend using a quality facial lotion shortly after washing your face with Humane. Conclusion: After trying nearly (if not over) 100 products for acne, the Humane Benzoyl Peroxide 10% face wash is one of the best and most effective. It uses high quality benzoyl peroxide, is easy to apply and wash off, comes in a large size, and it works! ** Helpful Tip: Some reviewers have mentioned that Benzoyl Peroxide can bleach your clothes, towels, and pillow cases. This is absolutely true. I recommend NOT using this in the shower because any left on your face will bleach your shower towels. Instead, I wash my face once in the morning and right before bed and use a white face towel to dry my face (a 30-pack is quite affordable at Costco). In terms of clothes, just don't touch your clothes until your hands are completely dry, and don't let the collar of your shirts touch what you wash off of your face. As for your pillow cases, as long as you dry your face well with the white face towel, you shouldn't have any major issues.

I have folliculitis on my belly and my dermatologist recommended this when I shower and it has been relieving my symptoms immediately and it’s a great price through Amazon and high-quality and if my dermatologist recommends it so do I it works

This is definitely a strong acne wash and you can tell it’s formulated to be effective. The 10% benzoyl peroxide is powerful and it does seem to help reduce breakouts, especially on the back and shoulders. That said, because it’s a high strength formula it can be a little drying if you use it too often. I found it works best when I use it a few times a week rather than every day. The cleanser itself is easy to apply and rinses off well. Overall it’s a solid option if you need a stronger treatment for body acne.

I'm a redhead, with highly sensitive skin, age 40. I still get acne unless I use medicated face wash 1-2x per day, every day. I have used a lot of cleansers, but this is by far my favorite. It lasts a long time, is fragrance free and it keeps my skin clear. I apply it to DRY hands, rub it around on my finger tips and apply to my DRY face. I use only about the size of a large pea each time I wash my face; just enough to barely cover all my skin. I hit my problem areas first (chin, forehead), so those get a little extra time, finishing up with my cheeks and top backside of my shoulders (where I also get acne). The only thing I do different then the directions is I remove the product with a warm wet washcloth within 20-45 seconds of applying most days, making sure to rinse and repeat so I don't leave product behind. It still works great to keep me breakout free with the shorter time. I'd think most people with less sensitive skin could probably leave it on longer than me (as instructed). I use Humane toner and a fragrance free lotion (I use a heavier lotion at night to prevent drying, and a lighter aloe based lotion during the day to prevent oil). Keep in mind that I have highly sensitive skin, so does my husband (also a redhead) and young adult daughter (also a redhead), and we all love this product! As the instructions note, you have to get used to this product (as you do with any medicated product). But the results are totally worth it! Start slow and don't leave it on for too long. When I started using benzoyl peroxide (many years before I found Humane), I haf redness and peeling for the first week and almost stopped using it. I switched to every other day until my skin could handle it daily, then twice a day. After 2 weeks my skin looked amazing! As long as I use it regularly now, I have no peeling, redness or irritation (I can skip a few days and it's not a problem). People frequently ask me what I do to keep my skin looking so good, and this is it! I absolutely love that this product is not only fragrance free, but it doesn't foam when applied. The foaming products drip all over the place and eventually bleach my pajamas/washcloths/whatever they drip on. I was also shocked at how long a bottle lasted me! It was probably at least 4 months. Way more than the one month I was getting from the department store brand, saving me money as well!

Years of bad acne. Used for few days on face. Bam cleared up. Then did body. This is magical stuff. Tho dont leave it on skin more than few mins. Wash good.

Great quality wash. But the soap dries inside the nozzle and it's difficult to get out sometimes. Need to change the packaging but overall it's worth it.
