Face Reality 5% Acne Med

Face Reality Advanced Acne Med 5% is a water-based benzoyl peroxide gel that works to unclog pores and fight acne-causing bacteria.

Benzoyl peroxide (BPO) is a highly effective acne-clearing treatment. It penetrates pores to fight acne-causing bacteria, helps unclog pores, and keeps pores clear. BPO has been used in acne treatment formulas for more than 80 years. It works as a bleaching and peeling agent, is antimicrobial, increases cell turnover, reduces bacterial count, clears up existing acne, and prevents future breakouts. Appropriate for normal and oily skin types.

• Clears acne-causing bacteria
• Unclogs pores and keeps them clear

1.5 oz | Tube

Best For:

This is best for normal, combination, and oily skin types prone to inflamed, non-inflamed, and combination acne. Not recommended for sensitive skin types.

Apply a layer of Face Reality Hydrabalance Hydrating Gel under your Acne Med to prevent excess dryness.

Face Reality Acne Med is stronger than over-the-counter products. Start with a lower percentage and work up.

How To Use:

After cleansing and toning, apply a thin layer to the entire blemish-prone area. We recommend using Acne Med in the evening. Leave on for 15 to 30 minutes a day initially, and increase wearing time gradually until medication can be tolerated all night. Slight irritation and dryness are normal and temporary.

With the new micronized BPO, moisturizer may be layered over this product after allowing it to dry for 15 minutes. However, this is only recommended for dry skin types, and may hinder the clearing process for those with oily or combination skin types.

If irritation or sensitivity develops, discontinue use of the product and contact your Face Reality Acne Specialist immediately.
