Gentle Clear Complexion Clearing BPO Acne Wash
A creamy 2.6% micronized benzoyl peroxide wash with licorice root, made for acne-prone skin that finds regular BPO washes harsh.
Apply to dampened skin and gently massage. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
- 2.6% micronized benzoyl peroxide targets acne bacteria
- Licorice root added to soothe irritation
- Lower BPO strength than many 5 to 10% washes, so may be easier to tolerate
- Benzoyl peroxide can dry, irritate and bleach fabric and towels
- Short rinse-off contact limits how much acne benefit you get
- The 75% consumer-improvement figure is self-reported, not clinical
