Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Benzoyl Peroxide is famous for fighting acne. This is because it does a variety of tasks on the skin: it helps reduce excess oil, kill bacteria, and clear out dead skin cells. In other words, it is effective at unclogging pores.

These properties make it great at fighting different types of acne, including cystic and inflammatory types of acne.

When targeting the bacteria in your pores, Benzoyl Peroxide has been shown to kill the bacteria without causing sensitivity. It also helps keep your skin's natural bacteria and biome balanced. Having a healthy biome protects your skin from external harmful factors.

Once Benzoyl Peroxide is absorbed into the skin, our bodies turn it into benzoic acid and quickly exits in urine.

When using Benzoyl Peroxide, it may be irritating for some people due to a variety of reasons, such as a broken skin barrier or just an allergic reaction. We recommend speaking with a professional about using this ingredient if you have concerns.

Criminally underrated product; so much more gentle than other BP products on the market while still effective. I’m on my third or fourth tube and will continue to re-buy.

THIS IS IT!!!!!!!!! Y’all, I have been using acne.org bp for a long time now. The price was always right for the amount but I noticed it’d aggravate my skin once I started tazortene. I already use Malezia’s cleanser and moisturizer so I decided to get their bp. It’s FAR superior to any bp I’ve tried. The formulation is moisturizing and feels great on the skin. It doesn’t aggravate my skin and it Show more
