STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

That's it, rosey! 

I follow acne.org's skin regimine, and add in the optional toner using a couple of drops of 100% pure tee tree oil on a wet cotton ball. I also purchase the gel 2% Benzoil Peroxide solution from the website and think it's the nicest product and very cheap considering how much you get.  I think each tube lasts me at least two, maybe three months.  I do the regimine twice daily, never missing the routine, no matter what.

In four months I had perfectly clear skin on my face.  I know it works, because I don't use it on my back and still break out on my back all the time.  (I don't use it on my back because Benzoil Peroxide WILL BLEACH YOUR CLOTHES/TOWELS/SHEETS, so I use Salysic (SP?) on my back and it works better than nothing).

ETA: Oh, by the way, it's CHEAP TOO!  I used to use very expensive products and these products work better (for acne) for so much less; you can get everything you need from the drugstore.

That reaction can happen with BP (remember, it is a medicine), and when it does, you are supposed to only use it once a day, or every other day, until you build up a tolerance.  However, if the reaction is really bad, like anything else you shouldn't use it.  It's really too bad that stuff is so harsh on your skin because BP works really well.
