Clear Plex 2.8%
A benzoyl peroxide acne treatment formulated to target active breakouts at the source. It delivers one of the most clinically validated acne-fighting ingredients in a clean, straightforward gel base with no unnecessary actives or competing ingredients to worry about.
SKIN TYPES + CONCERNS
✔ Acne-Prone ✔ Oily Skin
BENEFITS
Kills Acne-Causing Bacteria on Contact: Benzoyl peroxide releases oxygen directly into the follicle, creating an environment where C. acnes bacteria cannot survive, making it one of the few topical actives with a true bactericidal mechanism rather than simply slowing bacterial growth.
Reduces Inflammatory Breakouts: Clinical studies consistently show benzoyl peroxide reduces both the number and severity of inflammatory papules and pustules, typically within 4 to 8 weeks of consistent application.
Three Strengths for Targeted Treatment: The 2.8% concentration suits sensitive or first-time users, 5% is the most clinically studied strength for daily acne treatment, and 10% addresses stubborn breakouts or body acne where skin tolerance is higher.
Helps Prevent Antibiotic Resistance: Unlike topical antibiotics, benzoyl peroxide does not contribute to bacterial resistance, a clinically important advantage for anyone managing chronic or recurring acne long-term.
Lightweight Gel Base with Built-In Hydration Support: Glycerin and butylene glycol help offset the drying effect commonly associated with benzoyl peroxide, keeping the formula functional without compromising tolerability.
HOW TO USE
Cleanse skin thoroughly and pat dry. Benzoyl peroxide absorbs best on clean, dry skin. Applying to damp skin increases the risk of irritation, particularly at higher strengths.
Dispense a pea-sized amount and apply a thin, even layer across the entire affected area rather than spot treating individual blemishes. This helps address active breakouts and prevent new ones from forming in the same zone.
Less is more. A thin layer works as well as a thick one, and excess product increases irritation without improving results. Avoid the corners of the nose, mouth, and eyes where skin is thinner and more reactive.
Start with the 2.8% strength every other night. Always apply SPF 30+ every morning. Benzoyl peroxide increases photosensitivity and treated skin is more vulnerable to UV damage and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
KEY INGREDIENTS
Benzoyl Peroxide: Water-soluble crystalline powder in the organic peroxide family that works as a bleaching and peeling agent, is antimicrobial, increases cell turnover, reduces bacterial count, clears up existing acne, and prevents future breakouts.
Glycerin: Provides long-lasting, intense moisture retention.
INGREDIENTS
Inactive Ingredients: Purified Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Carbomer, Caprylyl Glycol, Sodium Hydroxide, Potassium Sorbate
