Face Reality Advanced Acne Med 5%
Deep-Reach Acne Treatment — High-Strength, Clinically Inspired Gel
This elevated version of the Acne Med line from Face Reality features a powerful 5% micronized benzoyl peroxide formulation designed to penetrate pores, reduce acne-causing bacteria, and help prevent new breakouts. Leveraging their proprietary “Micro-Smooth Technology,” it blends micronized benzoyl peroxide with soothing and hydrating actives to deliver potent action with improved tolerance.
Key Benefits
- Penetrates deep into pores to fight acne-causing bacteria at the source.
- Helps unclog and clear blackheads, whiteheads, and inflamed lesions.
- Enhanced formula includes hydrating and calming actives (like sodium hyaluronate and bisabolol) to reduce dryness and irritation relative to traditional benzoyl peroxide treatments.
- Appropriate for oily to combination, acne-prone skin seeking robust treatment strength. (Not recommended for extremely sensitive or dry skin without professional guidance.)
How to Use
- After cleansing and drying the skin, apply a thin layer of Advanced Acne Med 5% to the affected area(s) – face, chest, or back as prescribed.
- Use nightly initially; if tolerated, may increase based on your regimen.
- In daytime routines, always follow with broad-spectrum sunscreen as benzoyl peroxide can increase sun sensitivity.
- Avoid contact with eyes, lips, broken skin or open wounds.
- Store at room temperature (about 68-77°F) and avoid excess heat.
