Rugby Acne Medication - Benzoyl Peroxide Gel USP 5% - Vanishing Formula - Greaseless - Helps to Clear Up Acne Pimples - 1.5 Oz. (2 Pack)

I have had acne for over 12 years. It is cystic, and I have been told my doctors that it is hormonal and the best treatment is to go on birth control- which I tried and it made me sick as a dog. I have tried lots of topical products over the years and nothing works. 5 years ago I was on antibiotics for 2 weeks and it cleared my acne for a few months but that is NOT a long term solution. My acne has gotten worse and worse to the point that if I woke up without a new large, painful cyst on my face, I would be relieved. At 25 years old, my acne was the worst it's ever been; even worse than when I was a teenager with raging hormones. A month ago I was on vacation and my acne was so bad all I could do was cry and I decided this year I was going to see a dermatologist and do whatever it took to get rid of it- even if it meant being on the pill and feeling sick to my stomach 24/7 and going on Accutane and antibiotics. A few days later I was doing schoolwork for my graduate program and we were learning about acne. The textbook said the two classic treatments are benzoyl peroxide and retinoic acid. It was very simple, I'd heard it a hundred times. I thought about it, and realized I hadn't tried either of these products for a few years, and I probably wasn't very consistent back when I did try these products. I found this product on Amazon- only $7 for two bottles. I read great reviews, and I am lucky I came across a review that advised to use the product for at least a month before deeming it a success or failure. I also read to start off with weekly or biweekly applications because it will dry the skin out. Here's the verdict:-THIS STUFF WORKS. I HAVE CLEAR SKIN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 12 YEARS. I got 1 small zit when I started my period last week. That's it.-MAKE SURE TO USE THE PRODUCT FOR AT LEAST 1 MONTH TO SEE RESULTS. It actually started working in a week for me, so that was a nice surprise.-START WITH BI-WEEKLY APPLICATIONS AND APPLY A GOOD LOTION OR CREAM AFTER WASHING IT OFF TO PREVENT YOUR FACE FROM FLAKING OFF. AFTER YOUR SKIN ADJUSTS, YOU CAN START APPLYING IT A LITTLE MORE FREQUENTLY if needed.I feel like I have my life back. I used to get so depressed when my acne would flare up. I'd be happy and hopeful if I only had 3 or 4 cysts on my face, then a week later I'd have a dozen painful cysts that I couldn't ignore because they hurt so bad, and I'd pick at them and it was a vicious cycle. It's so important to feel good in your own skin and I hope others have the same success I have had.

If treating acne, dermatologists often recommend 2% salicylic acid yet that wasn’t effective for our son after several months. Enter 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, a treatment that has been around for decades. This has been working quickly when several months of 2% salicylic acid did not. He's very pleased the stubborn zits are going away at last. For spot treatments for stubborn areas I recommend also having this Rubgy 5% benzoyl peroxide as part of your arsenal. You can find over the counter products at up to 10% but as the percentage rises, so does the potential for irritation. Thus, what’s working wonderfully for us is 2.5% for everyday and 5% as needed for specific problem zits. For our teen, no irritation, even at the increased 5%.

I gave this product a 4 because it really dries your skin but it really helps control and treat hormonal acne. And helps with the scaring

This works better than name brand benzoyl peroxide treatments. I have mild to moderate adult acne and this product makes existing pimples go away faster. It also prevents new pimples from appearing. With the price being so inexpensive I recommend giving it a try.

One of the containers arrived damaged. The bottom split open. I've never seen this happen before. Can't speak on effectiveness of this acne treatment as yet. I may update in a few weeks.

Wonderful product ! I have horrible acne since I was a teenager . I usually go to the dermatologist but I currently do not have insurance and there prescriptions can be very costly ! My doctor recommend I get a benzoyl peroxide cream. I checked some stores by my house but was unable to fine a 5% the most I could find was 3% and it was for much more money then Amazon. This cream comes with 2 full bottles that are pretty large and when you think about how little you need for your face these bottles should last you months. I apply 1x at night after washing my face and wash off in the morning. It works ! It helped with control my brake outs and oil! Not many products work well on my acne so if you have horrible acne like me it's worth the try! I would also recommend a lotion for after you wash it off in the morning something that does not make your face oily.

Solo destacar, que antes colocarlo, haber realizado la limpieza e hidratacion del área y en cantidad puntual sobre el área a tratar, ya que sino hidrata bien podría irritarte.

It gets the job done, period. Sometimes after long periods of time of not breaking out, I think that maybe my skin is not acne-prone anymore...But then I miss one day (Literally ONE day) without this and I get at least one pimple so then it's only confirmed again and again that this acne medication keeps my skin looking smooth and healthy. 5 Stars!
