How to Use
Apply a thin layer over the affected area on clean, dry skin. Allow the product to dry before applying additional skincare products.
Use according to the instructions provided by your Face Reality Acne Expert or skincare provider. Your provider may recommend gradually increasing application frequency or contact time based on your skin's tolerance.
Recommended for skin prone to inflamed acne and noninflamed acne. For acne rosacea or rosacea-prone skin, use only when specifically recommended by your provider, as benzoyl peroxide may aggravate sensitivity.
Pro Tip: Starting with 2.5% Acne Med allows your skin to adjust to benzoyl peroxide before considering a higher concentration. Your Acne Expert can help determine whether increasing strength is appropriate for your skin and treatment goals.
