Acne Foaming Wash 10% Benzoyl Peroxide
A maximum-strength 10% benzoyl peroxide foaming wash for face, chest and back that treats and helps prevent acne, whiteheads and blackheads. Contains moisturizers to offset dryness; unscented and non-comedogenic.
Wet the area, apply and massage into the skin for 1-2 minutes, rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Use once daily, building up to twice if needed or as directed by a dermatologist.
- Highest benzoyl peroxide strength sold over the counter, 10%
- Brand says it kills over 99% of acne-causing bacteria in 15 seconds
- Inexpensive: $12.99 for 5.5 oz
- Benzoyl peroxide can bleach towels, clothing and hair
- Can be drying and irritating, especially at 10%
- Short-contact wash, so less effective than a leave-on treatment
