    I have tried just about EVERYTHING there is to clear up my oily, acne-prone AND super sensitive skin and nothing has worked for long and never without irritation... Until now! I purchased this treatment a few weeks ago and have used it 1 to 2 times daily ever since. Firstly, I love the cooling effect the peppermint has on my skin (makes it much easier to function/stop sweating/ apply makeup in the Arizona heat). I also LOVE that I haven't experienced any irritation and noticed a soothing quality right away. It took about a week before I began noticing visible results, but my skin just keeps getting clearer and clearer :-) I still haven't found the perfect cleanser/toner/moisturizer but I will definitely keep Kiss My Face Break Out as my perfect treatment! (Oh, a side note: this stuff is great for my more moderate acne treatment and prevention, but when I do get a more sever breakout I find it works well in conjunction with a tea tree oil based spot treatment).

    I've been using benzoyl peroxide in the form of OXY 10% for years. I have extremely oily skin that is very acne prone if I don't use BP twice a day (in the morning and at night). But if I do my routine, I'm acne free to the point where people say I have great skin.

    I switched over to this product because of a concern for the toxicity of BP and possible cancerous effects (which after reading the actual research is no longer much of a concern for me). After about two weeks, my skin has been breaking out with acne and also small bumps/whiteheads, almost as bed as it's ever been.

    The product feels nice and cool on the skin and it's very liquid making it easy to apply all over face with a small amount. It also doesn't leave any chalking or any noticeable sign once it dries, so basically it goes on and stays on invisibly, even with no moisturizer on top of it.

    However, in my own experience it's very clear that this product is not as effective as 10% BP on my skin type. It could be that there's too little tea tree oil in it, or it could be that tea tree oil simply isn't as effective as BP in killing p acne bacteria.

    My recommendation is that if you never had the need to use BP all over your face daily to stay acne free, or have dry to medium skin, this will be an acceptable substitute.

    But if you have extremely oily and acne prone skin that only BP seems effective for, avoid this product.

    I am not giving up on tee tree oil. I've ordered Desert Essence's pure tea tree oil along with their tea tree oil face wash. I'll post a review of those as well in a couple weeks. If pure tea tree oil doesn't work, then it's back to my BP routine and I can live with the statistically insignificant chance that it could be cancerous 20 years later. It's probably more likely I'll get a brain tumor from my cell phone first.

      I was really hoping this would work. I guess because of reading so many positive reviews - I was expecting it would work for me but instead it made me break out in small whiteheads... I didn't think it was the product but looking back that was the only product I was using. It gave me comodenol acne.. clogged pores..

      I'm searching for something that would give me some relief.

          I ordered it on accident but went ahead and used it. It helped clear up my skin, and, as a bonus, got rid of my headache too. The peppermint oil feels wonderfully soothing.

              I thought that this was a new product because of the new packaging and "potent & pure" tag that was added. When I received and tried it, I realized I had already tried this product! Very disappointed. Could have noted in the description. Anyhows. It is ok. Not super great for major breakouts. I like the smell. But it is very runny, so careful when you dispense from container or it will just pour out. I got it also because it was buy one item and get 2nd item 1/2 off. I would not buy again. Other products out there that are more effective and less expensive.

                  I have been using this for about a week now and have not noticed too much of a difference with my skin. I have moderate acne with cycstic acne on my jaw line. This works fine for my face but it does nothing for my jawline. Don't use if you have severe acne this will not help much at all. Also this is a really small tube so if you do have severe or moderate acne this will not last you very long. It doesn't say this is a spot treatment but from the size of the bottle I think it may be.

                    I use this gel on occasion but have found that by using the KMF cleansers and toner on a regular basis, I don't really need to very often! It's nice because it doesn't dry your skin out like other acne gels. But, then it doesn't "act" as fast. It works - just takes a day or so longer than the harsh stuff. I like it. Apply at bedtime for the best results.
