This powerful yet gentle formula works by killing acne-causing bacteria, reducing inflammation, and preventing new breakouts. Its lower concentration minimizes irritation while remaining effective, making it suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. This treatment is ideal for those seeking a reliable acne solution without harsh side effects. Always follow with sunscreen and a moisturizer to protect and hydrate your skin.

WARNINGS :

As with any Benzoyl Peroxide product, it is important that you start slowly with the amount that you use. Benzoyl Peroxide comes with what dermatologists refer to as the well-known “hardening effect.” This means that Benzoyl Peroxide causes redness, dryness, and itchiness in many people for the first few weeks until the skin gets used to it. While this is unavoidable to some extent, you can prevent some of the redness and dryness by being prudent and STARTING SLOWLY (notice how this is in all caps – trust me), with just a pea-size amount once a day for the first week, and then slowly upping your dosage and frequency from there.

Also, a very small percentage (about 1 in 500) of the population is allergic to Benzoyl Peroxide, which is evidenced by swelling and/or severe crusting. If you suspect you may be allergic, test it on a small area (the meaty part of the inner elbow is a good spot) for a few days before diving in.

Lastly, Benzoyl Peroxide can bleach dyed fabrics, so keep it away from clothing that you love. Benzoyl Peroxide may also bleach hair and eyebrows in some people to some extent.
