The worst benzoyl peroxide treatment i have ever used. It gave me a severe allergic reaction. My face was red, swollen and itchy as hell for days even with benadryl.

The product comes in a tube. A pump component would be great, but would likely add to the price. The formula is great. There is little to no scent, which is nice. It's a light, slightly watery,...

OMG, I absolutely love this stuff. My skin doesn't always respond to salicylic acid, so although benzoyl peroxide bleaches my sheets, it's worth it to have clear, beautiful skin. I apply a thin...
