GlyMed Plus Blemish Control No. 5 with Benzoyl Peroxide is a creamy corrective treatment serum built around 5% benzoyl peroxide to target both inflamed and non-inflamed breakouts. It works by oxygenating clogged pores and dissolving impacted oil from within, while a supporting blend of aloe vera, tea tree oil, and lavender oil helps keep skin calm and balanced throughout the clearing process.

Key Benefits

Clears Inflamed and Non-Inflamed Acne 5% benzoyl peroxide penetrates pores to kill acne-causing bacteria on contact and break down the congestion that fuels breakouts.

Exfoliates from Within the Pore Benzoyl peroxide loosens compacted sebum and dead cells inside the follicle, helping to prevent new comedones from forming.

Soothes and Calms Irritation Aloe vera leaf juice and lavender oil work together to reduce redness and keep skin comfortable while benzoyl peroxide does its job.

Supports a Balanced, Healing Environment Tea tree leaf oil contributes additional antibacterial support, reinforcing the formula's ability to keep pores clear without stripping the skin.

Lightweight, Hydrating Base Glycerin and sorbitol deliver humectant moisture so the treatment feels smooth on the skin rather than dry or tight.

If your skin is dealing with persistent breakouts, whether they show up as red, inflamed pimples, blackheads, or a mix of both, this serum was designed for you. It is best suited for normal, combination, and oily skin types that can tolerate a 5% benzoyl peroxide concentration.

This is not the best choice for sensitive skin. If you are Fitzpatrick 4-6, introduce it cautiously and monitor for any post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or excessive dryness.

Start by applying every other evening for the first one to two weeks, then move to nightly use once your skin adjusts. Benzoyl peroxide will bleach colored pillowcases and towels, so switch to white linens on the nights you use it.

Apply: After cleansing and toning, spread a thin layer over the entire blemish-prone area, not just individual spots.

Frequency: Use once per day, preferably in the evening.

Important: Apply as the last step in your nighttime routine. Traditional moisturizers should not be layered under or over benzoyl peroxide, as they can interfere with its efficacy and cause it to migrate toward the eye area. If you need extra hydration at night, layer a water-based hydrating gel or serum underneath before applying Blemish Control.
