This product does work to get rid of acne, however it is extremely drying and can be irritating (especially for those with sensitive skin). For this reason, I would only recommend it for your chest orr back. I bought it at CVS and it was fairly expensive, it is much cheaper to buy online. This product has benzoyl peroxide in it so if you are sensitive to it, do NOT use it. It also may stain or bleach fabrics, or colored hair
