Details

Advanced Acne Control Gel 5% is made for oily and acne-prone skin. With 5% benzoyl peroxide, it targets acne-causing bacteria to help clear acne blemishes and prevent new breakouts. The same strength used in professional acne treatments, made for your daily routine at home.

How to use

1. Cleanse your skin and let it dry completely, then apply like a mask over the whole acne-prone area, not just on individual blemishes. During acclimation, when your mask time is up, wash it off with your cleanser and finish the rest of your personalized routine. Once you've worked up to overnight, leave it on all night.

2. New to benzoyl peroxide? Build up gradually with the timeline below. Already used to our 2.8% Acne Control Gel? You can skip the acclimation schedule.

3. Slight, temporary irritation is normal at first.

4. Avoid unnecessary sun exposure and use sunscreen while using this product.
