The Acne Gel is a targeted benzoyl peroxide acne gel formulated with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, a proven active that helps reduce active breakouts by addressing acne-causing bacteria deep within the pore.

This fast-acting acne treatment helps reduce congestion, control excess surface oil, and reduce future breakouts while respecting the skin’s natural balance when used as directed.

Designed for oily and acne-prone skin, this lightweight acne gel treatment can be used as a spot treatment for acne or applied to breakout-prone areas such as the T-zone, jawline, or body.

With consistent use as part of a balanced acne routine, it helps calm inflammation, reduce visible redness, and support clearer-looking skin over time without unnecessary harshness.

To promote comfort during active acne care, pair The Acne Gel with hydrating, barrier-supportive moisturizers, antioxidants, and gentle cleansers, especially if dryness or sensitivity occurs; start slowly and adjust frequency based on skin tolerance to help maintain skin health while maximizing results during professional-level acne treatment.For best results on active acne in resilient skin, pair with The Acne Wash as part of a targeted acne routine.

Is The Acne Gel safe for sensitive skin?
The Acne Gel is formulated for oily and acne-prone skin, including skin that may be sensitive during active breakouts. Because benzoyl peroxide can cause dryness or irritation in some individuals, we recommend starting with a small amount and adjusting frequency based on skin tolerance. Pairing with hydrating, barrier-supportive products can help maintain comfort during use.

Why does this formula use 2.5% benzoyl peroxide instead of a higher percentage?
2.5% benzoyl peroxide is commonly used in professional acne care because it provides effective antibacterial action while being generally better tolerated than higher concentrations. Higher percentages do not necessarily lead to better results and may increase the risk of dryness or irritation. This strength was selected to balance efficacy with skin comfort when used correctly as part of a routine.

How is benzoyl peroxide different from salicylic acid or exfoliating acids?
Benzoyl peroxide targets acne-causing bacteria within the pore, while salicylic acid and other exfoliating acids primarily help dissolve dead skin cells and surface buildup. These ingredients serve different purposes and may be used in complementary ways depending on skin needs. The Acne Gel is designed to address active breakouts driven by bacteria rather than functioning solely as an exfoliant.

Can The Acne Gel be used as a spot treatment?
Yes. The Acne Gel can be applied directly to individual blemishes as a spot treatment or used in a thin layer on breakout-prone areas such as the T-zone, jawline, chest, or back. Usage should be adjusted based on skin response and tolerance.

Will this product dry out my skin?
Some dryness or mild irritation may occur, particularly when first introducing benzoyl peroxide. This response varies by individual. Starting slowly, using a gentle cleanser, and incorporating barrier-supportive moisturizers and antioxidants can help minimize discomfort.

Can I use The Acne Gel with other active ingredients?
The Acne Gel can be used within a broader acne routine, but caution should be taken when combining multiple strong actives. Alternating use with exfoliating acids or retinoids and prioritizing hydration can help reduce the risk of irritation. Introducing one active at a time allows you to better assess skin tolerance.

How long does it take to see results?
Results vary. Some users notice improvement in active breakouts within several days, while clearer-looking skin typically develops with consistent use over several weeks as part of a balanced acne routine.

Is this product suitable for face and body acne?
Yes. The Acne Gel is formulated for use on both the face and body, including areas prone to breakouts such as the jawline, chest, shoulders, and back.

HOW TO USE

The Acne Gel

FACE & BODY APPROVED

Apply on clean skin or spot treat once a day. Because excessive drying of the skin may occur, gradually increase use to the skin’s tolerance. If dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to every other day.
