What People Are Saying

"I love this product because it does a fantastic job keeping me clear! I use the 2.5% because it is the perfect strength for my sensitive skin. I pair it with Skin Script Green Tea Cleanser and have seen great results!" ~ Barbie T.

Acne is one of the most common skin challenges in the U.S. and it’s not just limited to teenagers. In fact, it impacts all ages, races, and genders. Nearly 60 million Americans have active acne and 20 million are at risk of developing scar tissue as a result.

What’s your defense?

One effective defense is benzoyl peroxide (BPO), a chemical in the organic peroxide family that has been used in acne treatment formulas for more than 80 years. It works as a bleaching and peeling agent and is antimicrobial, increases cell turnover, reduces the bacterial count, clears up existing acne, and prevents future breakouts.

Benzoyl peroxide is a white or off-white water-soluble crystalline powder that offers the following benefits for blemished and impure skin:

It peels skin like salicylic or resorcinol, reducing blockages.
It kills the bacterium Propionibacterium acnes (P.acnes).
It has anti-inflammatory properties that reduce pain and discomfort associated with many lesions.
It eliminates fatty acids and oils in the skin.

Things You Should Know About Using Benzoyl Peroxide & Acne Med:

Use over the entire acne-prone area

While spot treating can be effective for those who are mildly blemish-prone, those with inflamed acne must use benzoyl peroxide serum over the entire acne-prone area, every day. This is what will help prevent future breakouts.

How to Use:

1️⃣ Start slow – Apply a thin layer to affected areas for 15-30 minutes, then rinse off.
2️⃣ Gradually increase – As skin adjusts, extend wear time until tolerated overnight.
3️⃣ Avoid creams & lotions on top – They can interfere with the effectiveness of benzoyl peroxide. Use a gel-based moisturizer like Face Reality Hydrabalance instead.
4️⃣ Always use sunscreen – If using during the day, apply SPF after the treatment has dried.
5️⃣ Avoid sensitive areas – Do not apply near the eyes, neck, or lips.

🚨 If irritation or sensitivity occurs, discontinue use and consult your Face Reality Acne Specialist.
