What does the Acne Gel do?
This targeted gel treats and prevents breakouts by killing acne-causing bacteria and reducing inflammation. It’s especially effective on inflamed pimples, whiteheads, and papules.
What percentage of benzoyl peroxide is in the Acne Gel?
This Acne Gel contains 5% benzoyl peroxide—an effective concentration to treat breakouts without overwhelming the skin when used properly.
How should I use the Acne Gel?
Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin once daily, ideally at night. Start slow—use every other day to assess skin tolerance, then build up if needed. After purchase, we will email you step-by-step instructions that will help you use the gel correctly.
Can I use the Acne Gel all over my face or just as a spot treatment?
It can be used both ways. For sensitive skin, spot treat. For acne-prone areas (like the T-zone or jawline), apply a thin layer as a preventative treatment.
Will the Acne Gel dry out or irritate my skin?
Benzoyl peroxide can cause dryness, tightness, or mild peeling—especially during the first few weeks of use. To minimize irritation, follow the usage instructions carefully and balance your routine with hydrators, antioxidants, and a good moisturizer to support your skin barrier.
Can I use the Acne Gel with other active ingredients like retinol or AHAs?
Yes, but alternating their use is recommended to avoid over-exfoliation or irritation. Keep your skin barrier in check by moisturizing and listening to your skin.
Is the Acne Gel safe for sensitive skin?
It can be, if used correctly. Start slowly and monitor your skin. Avoid applying it to areas that are already dry, irritated, or compromised.
Will the Acne Gel bleach my towels or pillowcases?
Yes—benzoyl peroxide can bleach fabric. Use white linens and make sure the product fully absorbs before bed.
How long until I see results?
Some may see a reduction in active breakouts within a few days, but noticeable improvement in overall skin clarity may take 2–4 weeks with consistent use.
Is it safe to use the Acne Gel during pregnancy?
Consult with your physician before using benzoyl peroxide while pregnant or breastfeeding.
