Overview
A generic 2.1 ounce tube of 5 percent benzoyl peroxide gel, unscented and fragrance free, made for spot treating acne on the face or body. It sits in the same over the counter category as national acne brands but at store brand pricing.
Benzoyl peroxide at 5 percent is a mid strength dose, above the 2.5 percent found in gentler formulas but below some 10 percent spot treatments, so it works for moderate breakouts without being the most aggressive option on shelf. The gel base tends to dry down faster than a cream, which matters for anyone layering it under makeup or other products.
- 5 percent benzoyl peroxide
- 60 gram (2.1 fl oz) tube
- Unscented, fragrance free gel
- Formulated for all skin types
Who it's for
Suited to anyone managing occasional to moderate acne who wants a no-frills benzoyl peroxide treatment without added fragrance or dyes. Less suited to people with very reactive or dry skin, since benzoyl peroxide at this strength can be drying on its own.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Fragrance free and unscented formula
- Mid strength 5 percent dose for moderate acne
- Small tube suits spot treatment
- Benzoyl peroxide can be drying at this strength
- No moisturizing ingredients listed
Performance notes
Benzoyl peroxide works by reducing acne causing bacteria and helping clear pores, and the gel format is built to spread thin and absorb rather than sit on the surface. Since the tube is fragrance free and unscented, it is meant for direct spot application rather than a spa-style routine.
