I think this prduct would be better for someone other than me, because I think that it really would work. Maybe this cleanser would have worked better on me if I hadn't discovered I was allergic to Benzoyl Peroxide after the first time I used it. This cleanser has 10% Benzoyl peroxide in it, and it's supposed to stay in your pores after you wash it off. Well, it did that, but the next day I had a rash all over my face; back to Salycylic Acid I guess.....
