What it is

This is a clear, gel-based skincare product containing 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, designed for use in acne treatment regimens. It aims to provide similar efficacy to higher concentration formulas without causing excessive dryness or irritation. The formulation is pH-balanced and does not contain fragrances or dyes.

Key ingredients and their functions

  • Benzoyl Peroxide - antibacterial agent
  • Butylene Glycol - humectant
  • Carbomer - thickening agent
  • Potassium Sorbate - preservative
  • Phenoxyethanol - preservative
  • Diazolidinyl Urea - preservative
  • Sodium Hydroxide - pH adjuster

How it works

The formulation incorporates 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, which effectively targets acne by reducing the presence of bacteria on the skin. Butylene glycol acts as a humectant to help retain moisture, contributing to a balance in hydration that might be affected by the drying action of benzoyl peroxide. Carbomer is used to thicken the gel, allowing for easy application. Potassium sorbate, phenoxyethanol, and diazolidinyl urea serve as preservatives, aiding in maintaining the product's stability and longevity by preventing microbial contamination. Sodium hydroxide adjusts the pH of the product to ensure it is compatible with skin use.
