Face Reality 5% Acne Med vs Perrigo 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide Gel

Buy the Face Reality 5% Acne Med if you have normal or oily, non-sensitive skin and want a stronger, more comfortable 5% benzoyl peroxide gel. Buy the Perrigo 2.5% gel if your skin is sensitive or you are starting benzoyl peroxide for the first time. The Face Reality formula adds bisabolol and sodium hyaluronate to reduce dryness, and owners say it clears breakouts and helps them heal faster. The Perrigo gel is a plain, short-ingredient 2.5% formula that is easier to tolerate but slower to work. Both bleach fabric.

• Choose the Face Reality 5% Acne Med if your skin handles actives well and you want a 5% benzoyl peroxide gel with soothing and hydrating ingredients built in.
• Choose the Perrigo 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide Gel if your skin is sensitive or new to benzoyl peroxide and you want the gentlest standard strength to start with.
