Face Reality Acne Face & Body Scrub is a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide exfoliating scrub cleanser built to physically and chemically clear congested, breakout-prone skin on the face, chest, and back. Natural cellulose beads provide gentle yet effective mechanical exfoliation, buffing away the layer of dead cells that traps oil and debris inside pores, while benzoyl peroxide works beneath the surface to eliminate acne-causing bacteria. The result is fewer blackheads, fewer new breakouts, and skin that is better prepared to absorb every treatment product you layer on afterward.
Key Benefits
Clears Clogged Pores and Reduces Blackheads Cellulose acetate beads physically lift dead skin cells and debris from pore openings so oil can flow freely instead of forming plugs.
Kills Acne-Causing Bacteria Benzoyl peroxide at 2.5% penetrates the follicle to reduce P. acnes bacteria, helping stop breakouts at the source without the irritation of higher concentrations.
Accelerates Cell Turnover Combining physical exfoliation with antibacterial action speeds the skin's natural renewal cycle, so post-breakout marks and rough texture resolve faster.
Treats Body Acne on the Chest and Back Formulated for use beyond the face, making it an effective option for stubborn body acne in areas that are difficult to treat with standard cleansers.
Preps Skin for Better Product Absorption By clearing surface congestion, this scrub allows toners, serums, and acne treatments applied afterward to penetrate more effectively.
If your skin is oily, congestion-prone, and prone to blackheads on the face, chest, or back, this scrub was designed for exactly that pattern. It is especially effective for non-inflamed acne, including closed comedones, open comedones, and mild papules.
This scrub is not appropriate for inflamed pustular acne or sensitive, easily irritated skin. It is also not recommended for Fitzpatrick skin types 4 and above, as the combination of physical exfoliation and benzoyl peroxide may increase the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in deeper skin tones.
Focus on areas with the most blackheads and congestion, like the nose, chin, and center of the chest, and keep the pressure light. Let the beads and benzoyl peroxide do the work instead of scrubbing harder, which only leads to irritation and can actually trigger more oil production.
Apply: Spread a small amount onto dry skin, avoiding the eye area entirely.
Technique: Dampen your fingers with warm water and massage in circular motions for two full minutes, keeping pressure light and even.
Remove: Rinse thoroughly with tepid water or wipe away with a damp cloth.
Follow Up: Apply your toner, acne serum, and moisturizer. In the morning, always finish with a broad-spectrum SPF.
Active Ingredients: Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%Inactive Ingredients: Purified Water, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Glycerin, Cellulose Acetate, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Propylene Glycol, Carbomer, Sodium Hydroxide
What percentage of benzoyl peroxide does Face Reality Acne Face & Body Scrub contain?
It contains 2.5% benzoyl peroxide as its active ingredient. This concentration is strong enough to significantly reduce acne-causing bacteria inside the pore while being less irritating than higher-strength formulas. Paired with the physical exfoliation from cellulose beads, the lower percentage still delivers effective breakout control.
Can I use Face Reality Acne Face & Body Scrub on my back and chest?
Yes, this scrub is specifically formulated for both face and body use. It is particularly effective on the chest and back where dead skin buildup and trapped oil commonly cause breakouts. Use the same two-minute circular massage technique you would on the face.
How often should I use Face Reality Acne Face & Body Scrub?
For most oily, acne-prone skin types, two to three times per week is a good starting frequency. If your skin tolerates it well without dryness or irritation, you can gradually increase. On non-scrub days, switch to a gentle acne cleanser to keep the skin balanced.
Is Face Reality Acne Face & Body Scrub safe for sensitive skin?
This scrub is designed for oily, congestion-prone skin and is not recommended for sensitive or easily irritated skin types. It is also not suitable for inflamed pustular acne. If sensitivity is a concern, Face Reality offers gentler wash options better suited to reactive skin.
Will Face Reality Acne Face & Body Scrub bleach my towels or clothing?
Benzoyl peroxide can bleach fabrics on contact. Rinse your skin thoroughly after use and pat dry with a white or designated towel. For body acne treatment, consider wearing a white shirt to bed to avoid discoloration on colored fabrics.
Can I use Face Reality Acne Face & Body Scrub around my eyes?
No. This scrub should not be applied around the eye area. The combination of physical exfoliation and benzoyl peroxide is too active for the thin, delicate skin surrounding the eyes. Keep the product on the cheeks, nose, chin, forehead, and body only.
Is Face Reality Acne Face & Body Scrub suitable for darker skin tones?
This scrub is not recommended for Fitzpatrick skin types 4 and above. The combination of physical exfoliation and benzoyl peroxide can increase the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in deeper skin tones. If you are unsure of your Fitzpatrick type or need an alternative, our estheticians can help through a free skincare consultation.

Great for chest and back acne. I can only use it a few days a week to avoid excessive dryness
So good especially during summer weather
This scrub is great to use once or twice a week. Not harsh on skin at all.
I have been using this product for about a year now. I am so glad I found it.
Love this for my body! My crazy oily skin that always breaks out is responding well to this.
