Key Benefits

Overall Score: 6/10

Use once daily, preferably in the evening. Wet skin, apply a small amount, gently massage for 20-30 seconds, then rinse thoroughly. Start with limited use to assess tolerance, especially if you have sensitive or dry skin. Follow with a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer. Always use sunscreen during the day, as benzoyl peroxide may increase sun sensitivity. Avoid contact with eyes, lips, and broken skin. If excessive dryness or irritation occurs, reduce frequency or discontinue use.
