Why We Love It
Why We Love It
This new, advanced micronized formula of benzoyl peroxide (BPO) contains a smaller particle size to penetrate and peel the inside of the pore to both clear acne breakouts.
Benzoyl Peroxide works to treat and prevent acne by flushing and exfoliating the pores promoting shedding of dead skin cells and excess oil. In addition it kills acne causing bacteria that is the cause of inflamed breakouts.
Possible dryness and irritation can occur that can cause more inflammation and acne so it is best to begin with hydration and moisture for two weeks before starting acne med.
For the face: We recommend starting Acne Med 2.5%
For the back: We recommend starting Acne Med 10%
Note: For benzoyl peroxide to be effective no moisturizer should be used after before or after applying Acne Med. We have clients use Michelle Corley Ultimate Hydration Gel or Face Reality Hydrabalance Hydrating Serum under Acne Med.
- Micronized formula for smooth application
- Clears acne-causing bacteria
- Unclogs pores and keeps them clear

How To Use
How To Use
Face Reality Acne Med is stronger than over-the-counter products. Start with a lower percentage and work up.
After cleansing skin in PM, apply a thin layer to the entire affected area. Leave on for 15 to 30 minutes a day initially. Increase wearing time gradually until medication can be tolerated all night. Slight irritation and dryness are normal and temporary but should resolve within a few days if timed in correctly.
Traditional moisturizers cannot be used under or over benzoyl peroxide. They interfere with efficacy and cause the Acne Med to travel into the eye area.
Those that need extra hydration in the PM should use a water-based hydrating gel or serum under your Acne Med. Do not apply products on top of your Acne Med.
If irritation or sensitivity develops, discontinue use of the product, wash off with a cleanser and contact your Face Reality Acne Expert.
Tip: Apply a layer of Face Reality Hydrabalance Hydrating Gel under your Acne Med to prevent excess dryness. For best results, pair this Acne Med with other Face Reality products like Ultra Gentle Cleanser or Barrier Balance Creamy Cleanser.
