Customer Reviews of Glytone Acne Gel (10% Benzoyl Peroxide), 2-Ounce Package
Customer Review: This, at least the tube I got, is quite gritty
Summary: 3 Stars
I have used benzoyl peroxide for about 25 years. You'd think that becoming middle-aged would at least bring an end to breakouts as compensation for ushering in wrinkles and age spots... but no!
If I don't use benzoyl peroxide nightly, I get a lot of pimples and my face is very oily. I have experimented with this over the years, tried other sorts of products, tried to use no products, etc. but I always have to return to 10% benzoyl peroxide. Even a 5% solution does nothing for me, although there are many claims that 5% is as effective as 10%.
I always used Oxy 10 - my old faithful. However, Oxy 10 and the other Oxy products seem to have had a change in formulation in the last year or two. Apparently a different company now manufactures that line, and simply bought the rights to the brand name.
I noticed a change in Oxy 10 about a year ago. I started developing more pimples, they would last a bit longer, and the appearance of my skin in general got a little worse. You could put this worsening in my skin down to the natural aging process, but it felt a little weird to me, and was pretty sudden.
So I tried many other products, face washes instead of creams, different brands, different strengths, etc.
Many of those other products made my skin even worse, especially salycilic acid, which not only gave me massive cystic-like acne around my jawline which lasted weeks on end (never in my life have I had that before), but it also caused a lot of "milia" to develop on my forehead (lumps of collagen that are trapped deep under the skin, they take ages and ages to "grow out", and most of the time you can't get rid of them without having them cut out).
Last year, I tried the "sensitive" Oxy (5% benzoyl peroxide), and it was even worse than the 10%. My skin just got worse and worse.
One of the items I tried and rejected last summer was Glytone 10% benzoyl peroxide. It has a strange gritty texture that sort of hurts my skin when I apply it. You can actually see the little sand-like pieces on your skin and brush them off after the cream has dried. It's also pretty strong and drying, much more so than the current Oxy 10 formula. I get white swirls from the Glytone cream on my skin that stay white instead of soaking in or turning translucent. So it isn't ideal for me.
However, after my last bout of trying Oxy 10 -- which I decided would be the last time (I threw my last tube away last week), I went back to using the Glytone and in 2 days, my skin had made a huge improvement. The pimples that were present rapidly subsided, and the skin surface is visibly smoother. For now, I'm sticking with the Glytone. However, I'd like to find something in a translucent gel, which doesn't have gritty particles in it.
