Overview
A maximum strength acne treatment gel from Zapzyt built around 10% benzoyl peroxide, sold in a 1 ounce bottle and formulated oil-free and unscented for treating acne.
Benzoyl peroxide at 10% is the highest over-the-counter strength typically sold, so this sits at the stronger end of acne spot treatments rather than a gentle daily formula. It is manufactured by Everready First Aid under the Zapzyt brand.
- 1 oz acne treatment gel
- 10% benzoyl peroxide, maximum strength
- Oil-free, unscented
- Bottle packaging
Who it's for
Suits someone with acne who has already tolerated lower benzoyl peroxide strengths and wants a stronger option, or who has used it before. Not a first product to reach for if you have never used benzoyl peroxide, since 10% can be irritating or drying to skin new to it.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Maximum strength 10% benzoyl peroxide
- Compact 1 ounce bottle
- 10% strength can be irritating for first-time users
- Small 1 ounce size
Performance notes
Benzoyl peroxide works by releasing oxygen into pores, which kills acne-causing bacteria and helps clear blocked follicles. At 10%, it is more likely to cause dryness, peeling or irritation than lower 2.5% or 5% strengths, so a gradual introduction is standard practice with this concentration.
