The Active

4% benzoyl peroxide

Strong enough to clear acne, pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads, with a formulation designed to promote healing. The concentration is proven territory for daily use without maximum harshness.

The Texture & Experience

Cream-to-foam format

Starts creamy, becomes a lather as you massage it in. This double nature removes dirt and oil effectively while signaling that moisture-retention is built in, not an afterthought. Fragrance-free and non-comedogenic.

The Barrier Support

Hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, ceramides (1, 3, 6-II)

These aren't decoration. They're the skeleton of a healthy skin barrier, which is what actually lets your skin *tolerate* acne treatment long-term. Calms skin while it heals.
