Works great but will stain your clothes.
In fairness to the product, there is a warning on the back saying it will stain your clothes like bleach.  Which I missed.  I was using it overnight and it totally stained my pillow and sheets.  But... that is my fault for not reading it.  So, WARNING it will stain fabrics!<br /><br />As for the effectiveness of the product itself, it works very well.  As with any Benzoyl Peroxide treatment, you need to leave it on your skin for a long duration.  It needs to absorb into the skin, and it will fight bacteria growth.  Face cleansers containing Benzoyl Peroxide don't do much, since the active ingredient to prevent acne is just washed away when you rinse.  So you really want to use a skin cream like this one.  I was expecting this to irritate my skin some, since other Benzoy Peroxide treatments have in the past, but I was very surprised that it didn't irritate at all.<br /><br />I have been combining this Benzoyl Peroxide ointment with this following Tea Tree oil face wash [[ASIN:B000OV0C44 B000OV0C44]] and together they have done a great job.  Although, together they do tend to dry out my skin a little too much, so I only combine them every other day.<br /><br />I am not 100% sure which product is helping more, but I really dont care.  I have been struggling with acne since I was 14 and now I am 33.  and I have tried just about everything out there.  This combo is working for me extremely well for me.  I am not one to "pitch" products, but both are worth a try, especially given their affordable price point.
