"The Acne Face & Body Wash is my go-to when inflamed acne needs something stronger, especially for combination and oily skin. With 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, it helps clear breakouts and keep pores clean without being overly harsh. I always suggest easing it in slowly — a few times a week at first — and then working up to daily use if your skin needs it. It’s a great next step when gentler cleansers aren’t enough."

Dual-Purpose Cleanser, Single Powerful Ingredient

This multi-use wash simplifies your routine with one product that’s strong enough for body acne and gentle enough for facial skin. The 2.5% concentration of benzoyl peroxide is highly effective without being overly drying, especially when paired with non-comedogenic moisturizers and barrier support.

Benzoyl Peroxide

Kills acne-causing bacteria and helps to unclog pores, making it highly effective for inflammatory breakouts.

Glycerin

Draws water from the environment and deeper skin layers to help maintain hydration and barrier function.

Ammonium L.S.

Creates a rich lather and effectively removes oil, dirt, and impurities from the skin and scalp.

Gentle Benzoyl Peroxide Care

Unlike many benzoyl peroxide washes that can leave skin feeling tight and overly dry, this gel cleanser is formulated to be more balanced. It delivers breakout-fighting power while helping to keep the skin comfortable, making it easier to use consistently without irritation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this wash for non-inflamed acne?

Yes, you can — but for non-inflamed acne like blackheads and clogged pores, the Acne Face & Body Scrub is usually a better choice since it helps unclog pores more effectively.

Will it dry out my skin?

Benzoyl peroxide can be drying, but this cleanser is formulated with a 2.5% concentration—effective enough to fight acne but less likely to cause irritation. To avoid dryness, start slow (once daily or every other day), and follow with a hydrating, acne-safe moisturizer.

Is 2.5% benzoyl peroxide strong enough to work?

Yes! Clinical studies and years of professional use show that 2.5% is just as effective as higher concentrations in killing acne-causing bacteria—without as much risk of irritation. This makes it a great option for both new and seasoned acne clients.

How often should I use this cleanser?

As gentle as this formula is for a benzoyl peroxide wash, overuse can still cause dryness or irritation. Start a few nights per week and adjust slowly, depending on how your skin responds and what other products are in your routine. If you’re already using exfoliants, retinoids, or other active treatments, you may need to use it less often. Always listen to your skin and follow your Acne Expert’s guidance.

Can I use it with other acne treatments?

Yes—but with care. Avoid using it at the same time as other strong actives like retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, or other benzoyl peroxide products unless directed. Alternate use or spot treatment may be best for sensitive skin. Always patch test if combining treatments.
