- Sensitive skin
- Acne & blemishes
How to use
Every morning and evening, apply a dime-sized amount to damp skin and gently massage over your body and/or face, avoiding the eye area. 2 Rinse well and gently pat dry. 3 For spot treatments, consider our Acne Control Gel or Acne Clay To Foam Cleanser or our Blemish Barrier Patches . 4 Follow it up with a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer such as our Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion , which hydrates skin and protects from harmful UV rays without clogging pores. Tips Use Acne Foaming Cream Wash on the entire affected area at least one—and up to two—times daily. Since any benzoyl peroxide wash can cause excessive drying of the skin, start with one application daily, then gradually increase to two times daily If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application of this acne wash to once a day or every other day
Caution
Be sure to apply sunscreen after using this product. If irritation or sensitivity develops, stop use of this benzoyl peroxide wash and consult a doctor. Avoid contact with fabrics and hair. Benzoyl peroxide washes can have a bleaching effect that may stain or cause discoloration.
