Benzoyl peroxide (BPO) is a highly effective acne-clearing treatment. It penetrates pores to fight acne-causing bacteria, helps unclog pores, and keeps pores clear. BPO has been used in acne treatment formulas for more than 80 years. It works as a bleaching and peeling agent, is antimicrobial, increases cell turnover, reduces bacterial count, clears up existing acne, and prevents future breakouts. Appropriate for normal and oily skin types.
1.5 oz | Tube
This is best for normal, combination, and oily skin types prone to inflamed, non-inflamed, and combination acne. Not recommended for sensitive skin types.
Apply a layer of Face Reality Hydrabalance Hydrating Gel under your Acne Med to prevent excess dryness.
Face Reality Acne Med is stronger than over-the-counter products. Start with a lower percentage and work up.
After cleansing and toning, apply a thin layer to the entire blemish-prone area. We recommend using Acne Med in the evening. Leave on for 15 to 30 minutes a day initially, and increase wearing time gradually until medication can be tolerated all night. Slight irritation and dryness are normal and temporary.
With the new micronized BPO, moisturizer may be layered over this product after allowing it to dry for 15 minutes. However, this is only recommended for dry skin types, and may hinder the clearing process for those with oily or combination skin types.
If irritation or sensitivity develops, discontinue use of the product and contact your Face Reality Acne Specialist immediately.

I use the 2.5% and it's great for clearing up pimples quickly!
I love this product for my acne-prone skin
I am 43 and still struggle with acne 🫠 I told the Art of Skincare esthetician to recommend products that would lead me to love my skin again and she recommended the advanced acne med by Face Reality. I had a reduction in breakouts within the first week and it has kept my skin clear ever since. I am in disbelief with how well this product works. Highly recommend.
This product helps me from not getting new breakouts and helping my skin heal
Love all my Face Reality products. I struggled with acne in high school and it went away for a while during college, but came back in my 30s and I had the worst time trying to get rid of it. I went to go see someone and they recommended the face reality product line and told me to trust the process and I’m glad I did because my face has never been more clear. If you’re hesitant , take the time to talk to a consultant and stick with it for a few months, I almost guarantee you’ll see results.
