May I know where can i find BP 2.5%? I have been searching around Malacca area and asked my friend to look for it from guardian in Singapore. Can't find either. I have been using BP 5% for one month plus but still having flaking. Is it ok if I downgrade to 2.5%?

Yup. Please downgrade to 2.5% so the skin can build tolerance.

Hi everybody, for all the acne sufferer.. maybe you guys should exfoliate your skin daily using AHA/BHA products.. BP are too drying sometime.. Even at acne.org members recommend to do so.. I've do quite lot of research where to get AHA/BHA product since Malaysia very hard to get.. The place to get this kind product is at SEPHORA, look for peter roth thomas product.. but quite costly.. second choice is paula's choice product.. which only available online.. http://www.paulaschoice.com/international.. and the last is NEOSTRATA but this brand quite hard to find.. only sell in hospital..

I intend to purchase acne.org products the cleanser, treatment and moisturizer..I need ur advice before purchasing it since the shipping cost is quite expensive shipped from US..N second I'm afraid the products are not suitable for asian skin eventhough the product is mild..Hope can get reply ASAP

Try ask this website to help you order, you might save some money on shipping.. http://beautybazaar.blogspot.com

Thanks for the link I already ask the seller in the website. The price that they give me is quite expensive as they act as a middlemen. Its better if I directly deal when I want to make purchase of Acne.org products.

Why whenever I apply 2.5% benzoic peroxide, it will leave scar on my face?

2.5% BP does not remove scars. It prevents new acne to form thus allow the skin to heal by itself.

I have been using Benzac AC 10% for more than years. However, my acne still not recover fully and will burst out sometimes. Should I change to Benzac AC 2.5% as recommended by TS?

Hi I am a newbie here

I have a few questions

1) does the cetaphil cleanser functions as a face wash? Meaning I do not need a face wash product with cleanser?

2) for bp application at night, can I apply the bp and go to bed? Or should I wash it before going to bed?

Today I went to KL FESTIVAL MALL HEALTHLANE PHARMACY, they got sell BENZAC 2.5 but left last tube only.. Price is RM30+.. If anyone want can get there

i personally think that those who are suffering from acne should internally cleanse the body system first. Skin care are just to take care of the rest from outer. Perhaps you guys can try Praventac. as it helps detox by cleansing blood thru ur liver as well as pitted scars and acnes. it works only not for face but for whole body as well.

I would like to say this regime has helped cleared up most my acne. and I also would like to thank Jinyee for this post.

A little bit of my background, i have dry and sensitive skin. Sometimes, I also have oily skin especially got off work. I used to have acne on the cheeks, forehead and jaws..

So, in early December 2012, I bought cetaphil, neutrogena oil free moisturiser. Since I the BP2.5% is out of stock. I ordered online from acne.org. It cost about RM40 for 59ml of BP2.5%...

I started using this 3 products.. The BP was a huge disaster ... I just put a thin layer over the acne .... the next day, it was so red, itchy, swollen.. that I had to skip work. My whole face was so red that I couldn't expose to the sunlight.

For the next 2 days, I didn;t use BP, but continue using cetaphils and neutrogena moisturiser. ... the redness of my face faded a bit.

A week after that, I continue using BP but I reduce the usage as I wanted to avoid the side effect. However I still have the redness and itchiness....

I repeated this routine for about 1++ month. I can see my acne has greatly reduced. My face is clearer.... I still use the cetapil and neutrogena moisturiser... But i had to stay away from BP unless i have numerous acne... then i just put a bit of bp on top of it..

Hopes that help!

to add on : BP2.5% is not magic which cleared ALL my acne larr.. it mostly cleared 2 types of my acne:
1 type is the red bump acne. the one when you touch, it hurts. Another one is the pimple, the one when pressed got the yellow liquid come out.
I still have blackheads problem which i rely on beautician to squeeze it out.

i think it considered expensive wor
because i bought it from caring pharmacy just for 28.90 60g each
as i know, the price range from 28++ till 30++ something.


guys, i start this regime today after i go shop for all the stuff needed,
i bought
cetaphil 2x gentle skin cleanser free with 2x 14g intensive moisturizing cream=rm 82.88 watson
cetaphil 200g moisturizing lotion=rm45.50
benzac ac 60g =rm28.90



but i wonder why, the moisturizing lotion gave a strange smell(like saliva that get dry<kou shui wei and it also smelt like buah ciku>),i sure that it's far from expiry date.
what is it?!!! omg

Anyone here used Simple Refreshing Facial Wash Gel and/or Simple Hydrating Light Moisturizer before? I know u all here using Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, but the ingredients in Cetaphil are all the SLS's and parebens At least this Simple's Facial Wash doesn't have SLS's and parabens, so thinking of trying

now i feel oily after apply the cetaphil moisturizing lotion, look liked my face cant stop secrete oil out==
plus, the cetaphil gentle face cleanser wont foam up so how i know it really clean up my face?

ps: so curious!!!
anyone here?

You are using cetaphil for oily skin? I'm using Neutrogena Deep Clean Cleanser, love how it works on my oily skin. Maybe you can give it a try if you have oily skin.

don't worry my friend,
perfectly normal while our weather's hot and humid.
BTW, did you use toner before moisturizing lotion?
gentle face cleanser does not mean that it's not good,
you should avoid harsh product if you have sensitive skin,
maintain your daily cleansing routine as usual and don't
over wash your face as it might triggers your skin to produce more oil.
