Key Ingredients

Benzoyl Peroxide 3%: An FDA-recognized over-the-counter acne treatment ingredient that helps reduce Cutibacterium acnes, the bacterium associated with acne development. Its antibacterial and mild keratolytic activity helps treat existing blemishes and prevent new breakouts.

Biodegradable Buffing Beads (Cellulose Acetate): Provide physical exfoliation to remove accumulated surface skin cells and improve skin smoothness. Use gentle pressure to minimize unnecessary friction and irritation.

Glycerin: A moisture-binding humectant that helps attract water to the skin's outer layers and support hydration during cleansing.

Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate: A cleansing surfactant that helps remove impurities and surface oil.

How to Use

AM or PM: Wet the face or affected body area. Apply a small amount of cleanser and gently massage for 20–30 seconds, avoiding the eyes and mucous membranes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.

Frequency: Begin once daily or less frequently if your skin is sensitive. Increase only as tolerated and according to the product's Drug Facts directions or your provider's recommendations.

Follow with an appropriate moisturizer to maintain skin hydration. During daytime use, apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.

Amare Clinical Tip: Benzoyl peroxide is particularly useful for inflammatory acne because it targets acne-associated bacteria without contributing to bacterial antibiotic resistance.

However, combining benzoyl peroxide with mechanical exfoliation may increase dryness and irritation. For patients prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, especially those with melanin-rich skin, excessive inflammation can prolong or worsen discoloration. A non-scrub benzoyl peroxide wash or another acne treatment may be more appropriate.

• Use caution when combining with prescription retinoids, exfoliating acids, or other potentially irritating acne treatments.

• Discontinue use and seek medical attention if severe irritation, swelling, blistering, or signs of an allergic reaction occur.
