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.

Burnt me
If you want your face to be itchy, burning, peeling (dry skin) and tomato red. This product is perfect. I do NOT recommend. Do not make the same mistake I did!!!!

Amazing product!
Firstly i never really write reviews for anything but I had to for this one! I understand everyone has different skin and problems ect and this may or may not work for everyone but I'm sooooo happy with my results! And it worked!!! I don't get many breakouts but when I do they get pretty bad. Red, inflamed I even started getting these horrible ones never had them before! on my jawline which were horrible! It started with 1 bump which turned into like 4 or 5 in the same area I got sick of it!!! I tried Proactiv, tea tree washes the Tea Tree oil...Read more
it worked but not so great it took sooo long and it would leave a dry red patch. Then I tried BENZAC foam, wash and the gel and it blew my mind! I started seeing results instantly by redness is gone, my bumps have flattened BYE BYE breakouts!. I hardly get a breakout now and when I do it's small! And goes away instantly. The best thing that worked for me is BRAGG Organic Raw Apple Cider Vinegar and Benzac. Wash your face really well, then apply some raw apple cider on the pimple holding the cotton bud on the pimple for about 5 to 10 minutes then wash off the vinegar, and then pat the face dry then dampin it with warm water cleanse it with the benzac foam then go ahead with the benzac wash 5% rub that on for 30 seconds then after the wash I pat dry my face apply a deep moisturizer let that soak in my skin and then before bed I put on the benzac gel 5% over the pimple and leave it on over night (make sure to put extra on so you can actually see the white gel covering the pimple. Wash of next morning. I'M IN LOVE with benzac it goes rid of my problem pimples the bumps on my jawline vanished! No redness. If you're new to the product I would recommend starting with the 2.5% then moving onto the 5% it causes a little dryness in the start but make sure to use a deep moisturizer after every wash and it works amazingly! I highly recommend for this product to be tried if you're having problems. I'm so greatful for it.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Didn't Work :(
I used 5% consistently for 6 months and it didn't do its job. My skin is now dry and has more acne than before. I definitely would not recommend Benzac AC.

Almost instant result
I have been using benzac acne wash 5% for a few days. My skin has already started to clear up.
My skin feels tighter as it’s dried I think.
I noticed my grey face washer has orange patches in it, first I thought it was foundation and it won’t wash out.
I use it again and this time my face towel is 85% orange.
I rinsed my face with water after and pay dry with another towel.
Boom! Light orange on my other towel.
Works for pimples for me so far but please be careful with your towel especially if they are good one. They just gonna end up in the bin

Mixed Feelings TBH
MY ACNE STORY - worth a read
I started with Benzac 2.5% gel and foaming wash in 2016-2017 for around 2 years. Honestly, it was just an on and off thing for the results. It would work for a week, then when my period would be due, they would all appear out of nowhere. The side effects are harsh, IT'S DRYING SO YOU NEED A GOOD MOISTURISER! I guess your hormones and your genetics play a large role in this, and age (I was 14-15). Then this year, I bumped up to a Benzac 5% gel, used the Benzac 5% wash for a while - and the results were slow yet st...Read more
eady. I was honestly so sick and tired of it, so I switched to tea tree oil and did Benzac gel. It was ugh yeah okay. I told you, BENZAC IS SO SLOW. I decided to see a doctor, prescribe me on doxycycline 50g-100g for 3 months (I just finished this), and started epiduo. I can safely say that my skin is much better now, even though I went through a cycle of switching products. I don't know for sure, what was the best product. My skin is having its ups and down, around 80% clear on good days but can get bad real quick at the time of the month, and I'm 16 now so I'm hoping it's slowing and calming the hell down. Benzac is a slow product, like it took so long. And it does these weird patchy dry red things on your face, tightens and shines it so uncomfortably much (the wash, it's the bloody wash), and it bleaches your skin, leaving these white powdery left over on the surface of your skin. BUT IT DOES WORK. BEAUTY COMES WITH PAIN. SLOWLY. PATIENCE. But if you want to speed it up a tad, try seeing a doctor and they can check your skin and prescribe you the drugs, cause that just speeds the healing process. Doxycycline helped a lot and epiduo (im on it currently), and it does wonders (results more visible than benzac). Try it for a while, works for me but maybe not for you. I hope I helped, hope your skin clears out! Just a 16 year old looking out for all the emotionally and physically scarred victims of acne :') I feel youu..1 comment

Used 3 times and WOW
I had a Few pimples pop up in my forehead and it was fine, next few days it became really painful acne and my skincare routine just wasn’t cutting it, as it got worse I looked around for about two weeks to find the perfect products and I gave up! (Why’s everything so damn expensive! :( I was in the chemist and saw benzac and just thought why not it’s been 3 washes and I still have 2 or so pimples on my chin and my forehead just has one little pack in my hairline, 3 WASHES! I have never made a better decision in my life, my Cystic acne has clea...Read more
red up in a day and a half, I use the acne prone face wash, 2.5 acne gel and moisturiser and I couldn’t express how much it’s helped me feel more confident! I was loosing hope and you HAVE to try this. That was long but I highly highly recommend trying this before you go out and spend a fortuneSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

does its job
Benzoyl peroxide is an effective product to combat acne, only use either the 2.5% or 5% for your face the 10% will not work any better and will just dry your skin. The 10% cream or wash would be an effective solution to bacne though. This product is very drying and so i would suggest moisturising 2 times a day regardless of skin type and if you are to wear this in the am you NEED to wear sunscreen as it makes your skin sensitive to light. Also beware this product will bleach any clothes or towels it comes into contact with so wash your hands thoroughly, if you have not used these types of products before introducing them slowly is probably a good idea. Hope this helped someone and hope your skin clears up.

Could be way better
Perfect? No, my face has never been worse. Yes it got rid. Of some pimples, bf I rather my face before hand then now. My entire face is red, dry and peeling. It looks like someone put my face on fire and it’s been like this for a week now!! My skin is just horrible and nothing I do will fix it! Quite disappointed. I know these are some side effects but these “side effects” have ruined my face even more

Results in 3 days!!!
I have only just started using benzac AC and the results are AMAZING!!! I had 5 big swollen pimples on my right cheek and hormonal pimples all over my chin. I have mini pimples all over my forehead and some large ones on my temples. But now after 3 days of use my skin has cleared up so much I still cannot believe it. The swollen pimples on my cheeks are now basically gone and all the acne on my chin and jawline is seriously nearly gone too! I do suggest if you buy benzac AC, you should buy the benzac spots daily facial liquid cleanser. These pr...Read more
oducts go so well together and are more likely to give you better faster results. But everyone's skin is different. PLEASE USE MOISTURISER with these products. The benzac AC can cause peeling of your skin so try to apply it only on the pimples and avoid clear skin. Use the banzac spots daily liquid cleanser all over your face but target the areas more acne prone. This prevents the current breakouts from getting worse and also prevents new breakouts occurring. I have honestly never seen such great results! Hope this helpsSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
It works!
My teenage son had developed cystic acne and I got him to try Benzac cream first.It dried up the acne within 2 days.Now he is also using the cleanser and so far so good.It's dryi g on the skin though so he uses Vit E cream as well to help with scarring.He is also taking Vit C supplements.He was prescribed Akamin but ended not taking them and I'm pleased and drink lots of water to flush out the toxins.

Product is great, but has serious side effects.
I purchased the BenzacAC Acne Wash+2.5% Treatment+Moisturiser and have seen amazing results after only two weeks, however experienced some horrible side effects.
I have quite bad acne on my forehead.
first used the trio at night, and woke up the next morning to puffy eyes, and rashy skin. However, my acne was considerably better after ONE use. The next couple of days I continued to use the products and while my acne got better, my eyes got puffier and my skin rashier; but I couldn't ignore how much it was improving my skin. I decided that s...Read more

Drastically improved my brother's acne
I bought Benzac AC 5% from National Pharmacies for my brother who has moderate acne. After about 2 months, we noticed a huge reduction in acne and he now has mostly clear skin. He still applies the gel on every day. It is a bit harsh on the skin, which is why he only applies to the affected area. Since it is working for his skin condition, we are not planning to use the 10% Benzac AC. I would recommend this product for those who are looking for a product to reduce their acne.

Best thing I have ever tried!!!
Firstly I just wanted to say that I never normally write reviews for products but after such great results I felt like I had too. I wish I had been told about this product years ago so if this review encourages someone to try the product and clear up their skin that would be amazing. I have never had great skin, it's always been oily, sometimes good and sometimes bad. I've been on and off the OCP and even tried oral antibiotics both with no great effect. Actually after coming off the antibiotics my skin got worse. Naturally, I had also tried ev...Read more
erything from doing a detox, taking zinc, fish oil, different herbs, probiotics, drinking more water, avoiding dairy etc etc with no great results. I went to chemist warehouse with the intention of maybe trying proactiv but instead started reading about the benzac 5% wash due to its great price. I can honestly say after using the product for only one week my skin is the best it has been my whole life, no exaggeration and I'm 35!! It didn't make it worse before it got better, which is always a risk with some products, it just literally dried up everything. I'm so grateful, happy and thankful that such a product exists.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Has done wonders for my skin. Glad I tried their range.
I've struggled with acne for many many years. I decided to give the Benzac products a go. I started with the clear skin acne control kit (Came with Daily facial foam cleanser, Benzac AC Gel 2.5% and Daily facial moisturiser). It seemed to help but my skin was still quite oily. I decided to try the Benzac AC Wash 5% and paired it with the Benzac Oil Control Moisturiser. I've been using those 2 products twice a day for several months now and what a difference! My Skin is much less oily and I'm very happy with how clear it is. I still get some min...Read more
or blemishes but that's likely because I struggle with keeping my hands away from my face after years of picking at acne, but I'm working really hard on that as well. I recently tried the Benzac Blackheads Facial Scrub and use it once or twice a week and like how it gently exfoliates. I've also been using the Benzac AC Wash 5% for body acne. After I wash with normal shower gel I rub it into problems areas and leave it on for a little while then wash it off and it's done a good job of clearing up my body acne too. Overall, I'm really happy that I found something that works for me and felt I should share my success with others.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

the tube splits every single time
I would always buy Oxy instead, even though it is harder to get them these days. Benzac's tube always splits open before you get through so the gel would spill out from different places as you squeeze it. Don't know what they were thinking when they designed the packaging.

Really good but takes a while
i have always been strugling with acne. i didn’t have a lot of acne on my face but i have plenty on my back. i had black spots all over my back and it bothered me so much. i decided to use the benzac ac 5% gel at first. it definitely cleared up my face acne but it didn’t affect my back acne. so i changed to the 10% and viola! it cleared up my back acne. so i really recommend this product and definitely start from 2.5% or 5% to test whether your skin cooperating with the treatment or not and then move on to the 10%. these products do work but it takes a while so be patient and just keep putting it on.

I highly recommend it.
I easily get breakouts because of my oily skin. I tend to get pimples like once a week and its annoying because once one is nearly clearing up, another one takes over. So it's a non-stop cycle thing. I've been using benzac, although I'm not sure which brand. I get it for cheap by searching in Google for coupon code "BEN247AC" and I've been using it ever since! although it might be a bit drying, It sure does help dry up the acne faster. Especially cystic ones, which I get once in a while. I tried a lot of treatments before benzac and nothing worked as well. Drinking a lot of water also helps a lot. So yes, really just try this stuff, it works I tell you! Good luck!
