Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.
Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

Benzoyl peroxide is awesome. It's the only thing that has actively staved off and cleared my acne. Contact treatment with this cleanser (leaving it on for 2 mins then rinsing and going in with my daily cleanser) makes it that the bp isn't interacting with my moisturiser and it's been revolutionary in clearing my cystic and non cystic acne the past 2 weeks. I prefer Differin's bp wash formulation, Show more
Just bought my 5th bottle!
This is possibly my most repurchased product. Benzoyl peroxide is a fantastic ingredient to fight the bacteria that causes acne but it can be so drying. I consider my skin to be combination because I’m acne prone, but I defiantly lean dry and it’s hard to find products that cater to both acne prone and dry skin. Unlike many BP products I’ve tried, this cleanser does NOT Show more

Great cleanser for skincare newbies. Definitely gentle on the skin and lessens my breakouts. There is a faint weird smell and it doesn't lather as much, but I am ok with it.
I have a combination skin type (oily t-zone, normal for the rest).
I use this cleanser once nightly. It has a mild medicinal-like scent typically found in ointment balms albularyos (witch doctors) tend to use. 1 pump from this bottle is enough to cover my whole face. I expected that this cleanser would dry my skin due to salicylic acid but it didn't. Instead, it leaves my face clean and soft Show more
