Benzoyl peroxide topical for Acne "People will not believe me, but in desperation one day, I applied Oxy-10 to a cyst on my dog's head, and within a week, the cyst had disappeared! After that, I applied it to moles on my wife's ear and chest, and the moles slowly dried up and fell off, leaving healthy skin! The best result was after I contacted a skin irritation after snorkeling in the sea. For weeks, my back itched worse and worse. The only way I could get relief was to 'burn' the itch with hot air from a hair dryer. I tried all the ointments that a skin specialist prescribed with no result. The itchy area started to spread across my back and under my armpits. In desperation, I grabbed a tube of Oxy-10 and asked my wife to rub it in well. Guess what? With one week, I was cured!"

For Acne "I was using this product topically on my skin morning and night for all of high school. It cleared up my extreme acne in a matter of days, and I was amazed. HOWEVER, at times my skin would be so stripped of oil that the edges of my mouth, eyes, and nose would crack (sometimes bleeding). I would apply coconut oil until they healed. These episodes were rare, and my face was overall clearer, until a few months ago. Suddenly, within a day, my entire face was red, itching, burning, peeling. These didn’t stop for a month of only applying water and pure vitamin E oil to stop the pain, paired with antibiotics. This drug was my best frenemy, who I am finally saying goodbye to. I would recommend this to anyone, but beg them to know when to say when."

For Acne "I started using benzoyl peroxide gel 5% for my mild acne skin. At the first three days, I felt some redness and itching around acne areas, and also a few tiny, weak acne appeared around the affected areas. But just after three days, my skin started to improve, and at the seventh day of using it, the acne had improved, and my skin felt well and calmer. I used the product at night after washing my face with a cleanser, I applied the gel only on my acne with a very thin layer. I recommend this product."
