HUMANE ACNE WASH with 10% benzoyl peroxide is a maximum-strength treatment suitable for teens and adults with moderate to severe acne. The gold standard for treating acne, benzoyl peroxide releases oxygen directly into the pores, eliminating the acne-causing agents responsible for whiteheads, blackheads, pimples and below-the-skin cysts. It also exfoliates, increasing cellular turnover to clear up spots, and helps to reduce redness and pain that often accompanies a pimple.
