This acne remedy is really quite good if you have only mild acne, but less useful if you have a serious acne condition. You should try a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide gel or cream if you have mild acne. You can buy it without a prescription at your pharmacy.

You do not need and should not use more powerful concentrations (including prescription strength) because studies show that they are in no way more effective than 2.5%, but they make more money for doctors and the drug industry while being harder on your face.

You can enhance its effectiveness by preparing your skin first with a salicylic acid pad. You should apply the product thinly over the acne-prone areas, not only on your existing pimples, and you should continue to use the product or else your pimples will come back. Still, I think benzoyl peroxide is a great acne remedy if you only have a mild acne problem.
