Our take on the Perrigo Benzoyl Peroxide 10% Aqueous Base Acne Treatment Gel, 3.2 oz

This is a 3.2 oz tube of 10% benzoyl peroxide in an aqueous gel base, a generic version of the classic acne treatment. The 10% strength is the highest over-the-counter concentration, aimed at stubborn inflammatory acne on the face, chest and back. It is oil-free and meant for daily use. It is a plain, low-cost treatment rather than a cosmetic product, and it can bleach fabric and dry skin.

Questions and answers

Is 10% benzoyl peroxide too strong to start with?
For most people, yes. Dermatologists usually suggest starting at 2.5% or 5% and moving up only if skin tolerates it. If you start here, apply a thin layer every other day and use a moisturizer.
How long until it works?
Expect 4 to 6 weeks of consistent use before clear improvement. It may cause some redness and peeling in the first two weeks.
Will it bleach my clothes and bedding?
Yes. Benzoyl peroxide bleaches fabric, so use white towels and pillowcases and let it dry fully before dressing.
Can I use it with other acne products?
Be careful with retinoids, salicylic acid and harsh scrubs, since combining them increases irritation. Alternate days or ask a dermatologist.
Is it the same as PanOxyl or Neutrogena?
It is the same active ingredient at the same 10% strength in a similar gel base. The main differences are price and inactive ingredients.
Where should I apply it?
Apply a thin layer to the whole acne-prone area, not just individual spots. It works preventively, so spot-only use is less effective.
