Let me start by saying this - if you've been battling acne for years like I have, the Humane Benzoyl Peroxide 10% Wash might just become your new holy grail. After cycling through countless products that promised miracles but delivered disappointment, this one actually lives up to its claims.
The first thing I noticed was the texture - it's a non-foaming cleanser that spreads easily without feeling harsh. Unlike some BP washes that leave your skin tight and squeaky, this one cleans effectively while maintaining some moisture. Though fair warning - you'll definitely need a good moisturizer afterward (I pair it with CeraVe PM).
Where this product truly shines is in its effectiveness. I apply it in the evening after oil cleansing, leave it on for about 2 minutes (start with 1 minute if you're new to BP), and rinse. Within just 3 days of consistent use, my stubborn cystic acne along my jawline started calming down. After two weeks? My skin was clearer than it's been in years.
A few practical tips from my experience: Always use white towels (BP bleaches fabrics), don't use it right before sweating (can cause irritation), and gradually work up from every other day to daily use. The packaging could be better - the pump sometimes gets clogged with dried product, but at least the bottle is large enough to last months.
While not perfect (it can be drying if overused), this is hands-down one of the most effective OTC acne treatments I've tried in my decade-long battle with breakouts. Just remember - consistency is key with BP products!
