Just bought my 5th bottle!
This is possibly my most repurchased product. Benzoyl peroxide is a fantastic ingredient to fight the bacteria that causes acne but it can be so drying. I consider my skin to be combination because I’m acne prone, but I defiantly lean dry and it’s hard to find products that cater to both acne prone and dry skin. Unlike many BP products I’ve tried, this cleanser does NOT cause me to become a raisin but still combats my acne. I highly recommend this for dry acne prone skin! It’s a creamy, scentless, non-foaming formula, and it’s enjoyable to massage into skin. Some dry skinned people may still struggle a bit, so here’s a few tips that I’ve found to help me to not dry out my skin during my cleansing step. 1. Start with an oil cleanser (even if you aren’t wearing makeup) to gently buff away dry/flakey skin. It’s gentler on your skin to use an oil to soften and buff away flakey skin rather than accidentally rubbing too harshly with a scrub or cleanser. 2. You can use your favorite hydrating cleanser after this BP wash if you find that this one alone is still to drying (I like the Hero Cosmetics Gentle Milky Cleanser) 3. After you wash off your cleanser, apply a simple hydrating serum or essence onto damp skin (look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, polyglutamic acid, or any other humectants you enjoy) to avoid that tight skin feeling that can occur after cleansing. Wait for this to absorb before moving onto the next step of your routine.

It definitely works, you will purge first (break out) but after a month your skin will start to clear up. Not made for long term use, I made that mistake and destroyed my skin barrier.
