What the gurus are saying

It works well for acne but dries skin noticeably, which reviewers consistently report though in varying degrees. Starting with a small amount and following with moisturizer helps manage the dryness. For the price and texture, it gets solid marks.

"So, basically what I just used was my acne.org benzoyl peroxide. For my moisturizer, I'll be using my acne.org moisturizer as well."
✓Mixed
"I just went off and ordered 2.5 benzoyl peroxide from acne.org. Acne.org is a website started by a guy who had bad acne and he made his own products because he just found them so difficult to find, and 2.5 benzoyl peroxide is like the cornerstone product. His version was really good, it was pretty cheap, it had a decent texture, and the only problem was that it took a while to ship to me. [...] This worked quite well, but it did sort of dry the crap out of my face."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Benzoyl peroxide

Benzoyl peroxide has strong evidence for inflammatory acne, and unlike antibiotics the bacteria involved do not become resistant to it. It bleaches towels and pillowcases.

Urea

Urea both holds water in the skin and gently loosens dead surface cells. At higher strengths it has good evidence for very dry or thickened skin.
