FAQs

How does a benzoyl peroxide spot treatment work?

Benzoyl peroxide penetrates the pore to kill acne-causing bacteria at the source, which is why it works fast on active breakouts. This 5% spot treatment is ultra-micronized for less irritation, so you can target individual pimples to reduce redness, shrink blemishes, and stop new ones from forming. In 6-week trials, 93% agreed breakouts were reduced overnight.

When should I use a spot treatment versus an all-over acne product?

Use this spot treatment on individual, active pimples as they appear — it's concentrated for targeted use. For overall prevention and clearer skin, pair it with an all-over treatment like the 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser. The cleanser keeps skin clear day to day, while the spot treatment knocks out new breakouts quickly.

Will a spot treatment dry out my skin?

Benzoyl peroxide can be drying, which is why this formula is micronized and includes soothing aloe and antioxidants to minimize irritation. After it absorbs, follow with a light, non-comedogenic moisturizer like the Aloe Vera Blemish Soothing Moisturizer to keep skin balanced. Start once daily and increase to two or three times as needed.

Does it work on deep, painful chin and jawline breakouts?

Yes. It's made for the deeper, inflamed breakouts adults tend to get along the chin and jawline. Apply at the first sign of a pimple to calm redness and help it clear faster. For frequent breakouts in these areas, pair it with the 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Cleanser and the Aloe Vera Blemish Soothing Moisturizer as a complete routine.
