Does Benzoyl peroxide actually work for acne, pimples, and blackheads?

Question

What percentage is good or enough and safe to use on acne, pimples, and blackheads. Does it actually work. Is it the best medecine for that kind of stuff. Also can i get it off the counter.

Answer 1

OKAY. First you have to trust me. And yes, it has a great effect on pimples. Buy Neutrogenas On the spot treatment! iTS GREATTT. I had planets on my forehead but after using it, they all dispeaered! Try it! Its greatttt! Its cheap and affordablee. You can find it almost anywhere!!!! Give me a n im if you need help =]

Answer 2

Most of the over the counter acne meds contain Benzoyl Peroxide, but they never did much for me except dry my skin terribly and the pimple was usually still there. I've started a green drink, All Day Energy Greens. I mix it into some applejuice and drink it every morning. My skin has never looked better and the pimples have practiacally disappeared. I've also heard that "Nature's Cure", availabe at Walgreens, works really well. Might want to give it a try. Best wishes.

Answer 3

Yes indeed it works. It has been around since dirt, and it the key ingredient in many OTC acne products. It is cheap, unless you go out and buy that Proactive stuff. Guess what? the key ingredient in Proactive is what else? benzoyl peroxide only you will end up paying 100X more for it. Don't line someone Else's pockets go and grab some Clearasil and give it a try.

Answer 4

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://acnehomesolution.com/index.html 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.

Answer 5

Yes, benzoyl peroxide is the key ingredient in all effective acne medications. The percentage to look for is usually 10%, and it is sold over the counter in most acne medications, for example Clean & Clear's Persa-Gel 10

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

The secret is never to touch the spots

Answer 7

No, unless you want craters on your face. Blackheads simple,
get a huge pot put on stove till boiled, lay a thick towel onyour table, take a huge towel and cover your head all around the pot so no air gets inside for 10 - 15 min., wait a minute or 2, and go
thoughouly was your face good. Pimples Colgate White tooth
paste dabbed on till dry, leave a coule hours or sleep with it on
with a clean pillowcase, wash face before u apply. Repeat till
gone, the Colgate may sting which means it's working. ea.day.
This works, but if u want to pay I don't know how much $ u need!

I think that cleanser containing Salicylic acid works better. It can dry out your skin, so use an oil free moisturizer afterwords. Yes, you can purchase over the counter.
