Your questions, answered
How do I apply it?
Cleanse your skin thoroughly before applying. Apply a thin layer of the treatment to the entire affected area. Use daily, preferably in the morning. Avoid contact with eyes, lips, and mouth. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
Anything I should know?
For external use only. Do not use on broken skin or large areas of the skin. Avoid unnecessary sun exposure and use sunscreen. If irritation becomes severe, discontinue use and consult a doctor. Keep out of reach of children.
What makes it stand out?
Unclog Pores - helps prevent new pimples forming.
Why only 2.5% benzoyl peroxide when 10% products exist - am I short-changing myself?
No - this is deliberate. US research behind this formula found 2.5% benzoyl peroxide fights acne effectively with far less of the redness, dryness and peeling that higher strengths cause. On the US label it's an acne treatment for daily all-over facial use, not just spot-dabbing.
How do I actually use an AM treatment - before or after moisturiser?
After cleansing in the morning, smooth a thin layer over the whole acne-prone area, let it absorb, then follow with your moisturiser. Start with one application a day - or every other day if your skin is sensitive - and build up gradually, as the US label advises, to keep dryness and peeling manageable.
Will it bleach my clothes like other benzoyl peroxide products?
One practical warning from experience: benzoyl peroxide can bleach fabric, so switch to white towels and an old pillowcase while you use it. At 2.5% the risk is lower than with 10% gels, but collars, hats and towels can still catch it before it dries.
How long before I see calmer skin?
Benzoyl peroxide starts working on acne bacteria straight away, but visible improvement typically builds over several weeks of consistent daily use - stick with it rather than judging it by week one. Follow the label directions closely, and ask a pharmacist if you're unsure whether it suits you.
Individual results may vary.
