Personal Experience:
I am a male in my early 30's and have had issues with facial acne since my teenage years. I always expected it to just go away as I got older, but that never did quite happen. I learned to manage it over the years by trying to get good sleep, maintain stress, eat healthy, and to regularly wash my face. Over the years, I have literally tried over a hundred different products (face masks, creams, oils, retinol, glycolic acid, glycerin face washes, clay, tea tree oil, aloe, salicyclic acid, spot treatments, etc) from every imaginable brand in every price range. For years, nothing worked consistently until I came across AcneFree's benzoyl peroxide "Leave on Foam" that came in an aerosol can. It literally changed my life and was the single product that worked. Unfortunately, the product has since been discontinued and I was on the hunt again.
My dermatologist simply stated that all benzoyl peroxides are the same, and the form of delivery is the only thing that really changes (whether it's a foam, spray, cream, spot treatment, or wash), but I came to suspect that this was only partly true. Your face can respond differently to the delivery system used, and companies can use varying qualities of benzoyl peroxide in their products. For me, benzoyl peroxide seemed to be the most effective active ingredient for my acne, so I proceeded to try product after product all over again that contained varying percentages of benzoyl peroxide (from 2.5% to 10%) in different delivery forms.
To be honest, I still have yet to find something as good as the AcneFree "Leave on Foam", but I was pleased to finally find the Humane Benzoyl Peroxide 10% wash. As of now, this face wash is 1 of three benzoyl peroxide washes that I have found to be effective for me. The other 2 being Panoxyl and Topix Benzoyl Peroxide. Panoxyl dries out my skin too much, so I have stopped using it. I am not sure if I like this better than Topix (also an excellent choice), so I will continue to see over time.
The Humane Benzoyl Peroxide is unscented (actually has a faint benzoyl peroxide smell, but it is not unpleasant), is easy to apply and wash off your face, and most importantly, it has worked to keep my skin clear. I haven't had a single pimple while using this. My only complaint is that the Humane Benzoyl Peroxide wash dries out my face (not as much as Panoxyl, but more than Topix). I recommend using a quality facial lotion shortly after washing your face with Humane.
Conclusion:
After trying nearly (if not over) 100 products for acne, the Humane Benzoyl Peroxide 10% face wash is one of the best and most effective. It uses high quality benzoyl peroxide, is easy to apply and wash off, comes in a large size, and it works!
** Helpful Tip: Some reviewers have mentioned that Benzoyl Peroxide can bleach your clothes, towels, and pillow cases. This is absolutely true. I recommend NOT using this in the shower because any left on your face will bleach your shower towels. Instead, I wash my face once in the morning and right before bed and use a white face towel to dry my face (a 30-pack is quite affordable at Costco). In terms of clothes, just don't touch your clothes until your hands are completely dry, and don't let the collar of your shirts touch what you wash off of your face. As for your pillow cases, as long as you dry your face well with the white face towel, you shouldn't have any major issues.

Our story
How we got our start
As the clean skincare movement gained momentum, we noticed that acne treatments were being left behind. A small group of household names continued to dominate, focusing more on celebrity endorsements and complicated systems than on the potentially harmful ingredients hiding in their products.What makes our product unique
The Humane Company was created to bring a clean, minimal-ingredient philosophy to acne treatment. We focus on powerful and proven ingredients, while eliminating anything harmful, questionable or superfluous. Humane products are made in the USA, dermatologist-tested, vegan and cruelty-free.Why we love what we do
Acne is the most common skin condition in the United States, and for many people, it affects more than just their appearance. Acne can take a toll on one’s emotional health. Hearing about the positive impact our products have had on people’s lives is our biggest motivation and our greatest reward.Product Description

HONEST review after using this face wash for a few months!

Product didn't work for me great, but customer service is amazing.
So far so good. I've only had this product for 2 days. I have bad acne on my face. I've tried so many different products it isn't funny. I have open sores on my face due to picking, it relieves my anxiety and is a bad habit I have yet to break. Because of my picking my face has many scars on it so I do wear a lot of makeup which in return causes my face to break out more and along with my soda intake my face is horrible. So now that I gave you some background on to the product. I feel like I have to use a lot because it doesn't lather. The smell isn't very pleasant but it doesn't really matter. My face does feel smooth and clean after washing it though. I do not have sensitive skin at all, mostly because the scaring, so I have not had any burning or redness. I am using this product only once a day to start off and will move to twice a day in a week or two, I do not want to overwhelm my skin. I also read other comments and use Neutrogena oil free sensitive skin Moisturizer just to help in case of irritation. I will be posting pictures of before and after, and also update my review once I've used this product for a month or more.Update: 12/14/16I've been using this product for almost a month, I use it twice daily and follow it with Neutrogena oil free sensitive skin Moisturizer. As far as burning or turning my face red, there has been none of that. I feel like this is more of a lotion than a face wash because it does not lather. I use it as recommended by the seller. Now my acne hasn't improved one bit. Like I stated above I am a picker, so I have done my best not to touch my face. The acne that I had a month ago some has healed some are still here, the face wash causes them to dry out more than get rid of anything. I still have just as much and new acne coming up. After this bottle I will not be purchasing another bottle. I've gone through so many different types of acne products over the past few years, still haven't found the right one. Guess I'll be continuing my search.Update: 12/19This company contacted me regarding my review and gave me a full refund because the product didn't work as I thought it would. A lot of companies on Amazon don't read these comments, I was really surprised when I got the email. Some products work great for people some don't. If you have bad acne like me it's worth a try to give this company a shot simply because their customer service is great.Update: 1/29/17After my refund I kept using this product..I figured I might as well keep using it since I have it. This is the only product I've continuously used over the past month and I actually have seen improvement in my acne. I have less come and the ones I had are finally starting to go away and look better. I still don't feel comfortable without makeup on, but so far I can notice a big improvement. I guess it just took a couple months to start working. Usually I don't wait this long, I am one who likes to see results in a reasonable amount of time and when I didn't I gave up on this product.
