I literally use the Neutrogena Clear Pore face mask/cleanser twice a day...once in the morning and once overnight. It has 3.5% (not 2.5%) benzoyl peroxide as the active ingredient. Yet, when I wake up, I usually see new pimples form right underneath the face mask after I've washed/rinsed it off. What's going on?

You ARE using too much. Where did you get the instructions to use it twice a day? And using it overnight? I've never heard of that.
Face masks are best used once a week. And should be rinsed off once they dry up - about 10 to 15 minutes after application.
And whether you use masks or not, there is one cardinal rule: keep your skin CLEAN!
The following is the answer I gave to another question in Yahoo Answers:
To prevent any new pimples from appearing, there is a very simple rule that you have to follow scrupulously:
Keep your skin absolutely 100% CLEAN!
NEVER touch your face with your fingers. Anything you put on your face should be clean and sanitized. This includes makeup, creams, lotions, pillows, bedsheets, scarves, spectacles, cell phones, accessories, your own hair, and other people's hands or belongings.
If you think something may not be clean, then don't let it touch your face.
If you think you may be scratching your face in your sleep, rinse your hands with water mixed with a bit of antiseptic (like Dettol) before bedtime.
You have to be disciplined and consistent and stick to it. You'll soon stop having any more pimples.
While you're on your way to pimple-free paradise, you might want to try applying lemon or orange juice on your face twice a day, morning and night. This normalizes the skin's PH level. Apply with cotton wool and rinse off after 5 minutes or leave to dry on the face.

change ur pillo case every other day. Wake up and wash face with warm water everyday. Before you sleep wash with warm water again. And During day put lotion on. And put lotion on agian at night to keep from drying out. Try to eat healthy try to eat an apple once a day. Wake up drink a glass a water and before you sleep drink a glass of water. To keep hydrated. And do not pick at them. If you must take cotton swab with peroxide to clean area and then carefully pop it. That should help some it will take about 2 weeks and its all natural. Oh and Try to get 15-20 min of sunlight everyday helps give you vitamin d. If you are stressed then just take a break during the day just chill and try to not worry about stuff. good luck

Right now my skin is perfectly clear, for the first time in 3 years. It's been about 9 weeks and all my acne is gone. It is such a great feeling to wake up with clear skin.

I struggled with acne for years and I finally found the solution that works for me. We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It's time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth!
Those of us who suffer from acne have usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work:
1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.
2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why? It does not address the root cause of the problem.
I found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back. It is amazing and doesn’t use any drugs or doctors. The truth is that acne can be cured…if we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don’t want us to know.
There is a great website: http://cure-my-acne.info/3daycure/ that has all the details. I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me.

It takes up to two weeks for pimples to appear so even tho they seemingly appear over night, they've been rising to the surface for about two weeks. Try proactiv, you can get it alot cheaper on ebay and it works wonderful. You would be able to JUST use proactiv and stop using all other medicines and it cures everything!
