Use with extreme caution!
Be very careful. Mild acne went to more severe pustules. Flaky Inflamation. This should not be sold over the counter. Used it sparingly aswell! This is day 3 before/after pics

Helps in clearing Pus out of pimples
I had pus breakouts on my skin during the bush fire season and the extreme smoky weather. I used this product as an initial step . It helped in safely clearing out the pus within 2-3 days but din't help much in clearing out the spot caused after it . It doesn't cause any irritation and is good on my skin

BENZAC AC Mild Strength 2.5% Acne Gel
This is one of the biggest things responsible for clearing my acne (NOT pimples, acne) as a teenager. I used this as a part of the Acne.Org routine after having tried everything from your standard Clearasil, Proactive (NEVER again), various natural products and even roacutane.
I discovered this at around 16 and after implementing the routine above, I remember my acne disapearing so quickly and it was almost entirely gone within a month.
I am now 24 and my routine has changed to target new things (brightening, hydration, exfoliation and improv...Read more

flaky skin./not good for sensitive/ dry skin
not good for sensitive skin.i have been using this for about 1 and half month although it's side effects were harsh on my skin yet, no changes can be seen .It made my skin super flaky and skin peeling was pretty intense..It is effective for small pimples/acne but was not as good as i thought for my huge hormonal acnes also.The good thing is that it dries out the pimples fast and maybe the reason for the flakes around my pimples.maybe

Not a good choice for adult Acne.
Suffer from Adult hormanal acne and extremely oily skin. Tried this product based on a recommendation. Brought the 3 step 2.5% pack. First few days felt a difference in how nasty and inflamed acne felt and looked, however soon after this I suffered from intense itchyiness which I assumed was my skin to dry so I made sure I used the moisturizer correctly and gave my skin breaks for the spot cream.
My Acne developed into pus filled red sore lumps that looked and felt awful.
I tried this product for 3 and a half weeks weeks before stopping. I onl...Read more

Cheap and nasty :)
Been using this stuff for a few years now. I only use it when I need it though. Its cheap and works really good for removing acne. It does day around 4 days to start working though and found that it removes the redness that acne leaves behind. I think its more about acne prevention when it comes to this product. Seems it doesn't actually remove zits and stuff but prevents new ones from forming which in turn removes them. I use the %10 gel. Also, remember less is better. So don't pack it onto your skin just a little pea size bit of cream works. ...Read more
I also put a very light moisturizer on top to stop the Benzac causing redness which works. It still dries the skin out a bit but looks better than acne and I only use this stuff for about 2 weeks straight only when I need it. Also, I only use it at night before I go to bed.Purchased in November 2021 at Chemist Warehouse Online Store for $20.00.

So far so good!
I've been using the product for around 3 months now. I suffer from VERY oily skin, blackheads and mild breakouts which happen in unpredictable patterns. I started by using the 2.5% gel and followed the directions on the instructions. I used every 2 days for the first week to allow my skin to adjust. I experienced some dryness on the sides of my nose but that eased after the first week.
In the last week it's getting more humid so I have started using the 5% gel in the morning and 2.5% in the evening. I am a little dry at the moment so I may nee...Read more

Swollen limpy skin it is not worth it
I used the benzac 3 steps at 5% for no longer than three days.. And my skin now has small lumpy blisters all over I wish I could upload pictures.. It hurts so bad and I don't know how to get rid of them.. It is embarrassing this should not be sold off the shelf it should be behind the counter I wish I had of spent the money on proactive as that was what I originally want but it was sold out...

Brand New Person
I think the 2.5 percent gel is great! I use it all the time on spots and I swear whenever I breakout within a day or two after using the topical ointment its gone HALLELUJAH lol! You dont need much, it will only redded skin where there isnt pimples so the clear soft parts, so just use on the pimples. It literally decreases the size of the pimples and intensity then they are gone, I love this gel. I have used heaps of things for my skin and this is the best, stuck with it for 2 and a half years and I look like a brand new person. I don't use...Read more
their washes because I reckon it would be too drying to use the wash and a gel. Use a gentle cleanser like Qv or Cetaphil or any other cream cleansers (All natural is best), I now use Sukin all natural Cream cleanser, And then I put on Benzac 2.5 percent and it does kill the pimples. I find the soft cleanser and the pimple killing gel works great haha, gives the skin a good balance.Purchased in January 2021 at Chemist Warehouse for $17.00.

Make sure you follow the directions for this product!
This product is great for treating a pimple now and then. Be careful though not to apply it on larger skin surfaces as it left me with noticeable skin pigmentation issues and never apply before going into the sun (I have white patches on my face). It must contain some sort of lightening or bleaching agent as my clothes, towels, pillow slips etc were discoloured from using this. I now only apply it to one pimple at a time when I get one in the morning and apply my normal moisturiser on top.

Using the 3 step treatment and amazing results
I have had acne pretty much my entire life (now 28). After having a baby recently my usual acne treatment was a no go so I got to the point of being fed up with my acne getting worse and worse as the weeks progressed. I used the 3 step treatment - cleanser, treatment and moisturiser. Within 2 days I have seen the most dramatic improvement ever. My acne has almost completely cleared with only some small ones remaining which are decreasing rapidly. Honestly incredibly happy with the results and worth every cent for me. This is something I will continue with. I am using the 2.5% strength.

Scalp Acne Cured
I am in my sixties and a few years ago started getting large red acne with white heads on the back and sides of my scalp. Tried many things without success till Benzac AC Wash 5%. I realise it is a face/body wash and they warn that it may bleach the hair somewhat but I have old man silver/white hair so no issue there. Absolutely no new acne since the first use.
I used it every day at first but have reduced it to twice a week at this stage with continued success. I wash my hair (no conditioner), rub in a smallish amount of Benzac and rinse after a minute or two.

Changed my skin!
I started using this product about 1 month ago and it has completely changed my skin! After suffering from moderate acne for almost a decade, this has been the most effective product for me. Highly recommend!

Amazing product
As a 20 yr old male who’s had moderate acne for 5+ years this product worked wonders. I’ve used all sorts of face washes and scrubs from the supermarkets to no avail. I then came across the benzac triple acne control kit online and decided to try it. It didn’t really work that well at first but I heard it takes a few months to see results. I started in September/October and now in January I can see clear results. Most of my acne has gone or at least become less noticeable.

Do not work for Adult Acne, Acne worsen
I was using tea tree oil for my face wash and rosehip oil to moisture my face. It was working very slowly but great. In hope to heal it quickly, i bought benzac ac cream. When first time i applied, i had a new acne popped up. I thought it is just a new one and stopped the use of cream for couple of days. As soon as i did not apply for two days, and continued with my normal products, it healed. This happened 3 times (including my partner trying once too and the same happened) and now i can confirm that this cream instead of healing the acne, is worsening the symptoms. My face looks worse than before. Wish i shouldn't have bought this product.

Literally burns away the acne - strong but effective
I have dermatitis so I get very aggravated skin easily. After stopping the pill I've had insane acne and oil on my face. The benzac wash has been amazing for me: I put it around my chin, cheeks and forehead and let it sit for 5 minutes before washing off (using paper towels - I've already bleached two facewashers!).
BUT the first few days I used this I completely burned the skin around my eyes, and woke up with swollen, red and cracking skin. So NEVER put it on the delicate skin beneath your eyes if you have any sensitivities on your skin. I ...Read more

Really wish i hadn't.
One of the first products i tried for adult acne, i really wish i hadn't. I could only use for a week or so before having enough of the burning, redness and pain that the products caused. I tried weaker strengths of the spot treatment and that still burnt.. After washing face it would feel so tight, stripped of oils and uncomfortable. I wouldn't recommend to anyone, it's really not a great range.
