What it is

Key ingredients and their functions

  • Benzoyl Peroxide - antimicrobial agent
  • Glycerin - moisturizing agent

  • Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate - cleansing agent
  • Petrolatum - skin barrier agent

How it works

The product appears to work by leveraging the antimicrobial properties of benzoyl peroxide to help manage acne-related issues. Glycerin provides moisture to maintain skin hydration during use. The presence of zinc lactate might assist in skin-conditioning, while sodium cocyl isethionate and sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate function as cleansing agents to aid in the removal of dirt and oil. Petrolatum is included to help maintain the skin's natural barrier, and mineral oil works as an emollient to soften the skin. Additionally, C12-15 alkyl benzoate is used to condition the skin, contributing to a smoother feel post-application.
