5% Acne Med
The Intermediate Powerhouse to Target Stubborn Bacteria and Persistent Breakouts
Take your acne-clearing results to the next level. Face Reality 5% Advanced Acne Med is a professional-grade, medium-strength leave-on treatment designed for skin that requires a more potent formula to break through stubborn breakouts. Powered by micronized Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO), this water-based gel drops a continuous supply of oxygen deep into the follicle to rapidly destroy C. acnes bacteria, clear active pustules, and prevent future clogs from taking root. Upgraded with Micro-Smooth Technology™, it delivers higher therapeutic clearing power right where it's needed while keeping the skin barrier calm, smooth, and balanced.
Why You’ll Love It
The Perfect Step-Up Treatment: The absolute gold standard for individuals whose skin has fully adjusted to the 2.5% Acne Med but still experience minor, stubborn breakouts.
Destroys Inflamed Breakouts: Delivers intensive oxygenation to the follicle to sanitize the skin, reducing the size, swelling, and redness of painful blemishes in days.
Micro-Smooth Technology™: Employs ultra-fine, micronized BPO particles that glide past the surface layer smoothly and uniformly, offering superior pore penetration with significantly less irritation than generic, gritty acne creams.
Exfoliates the Pore Lining: Works behind the scenes as a mild peeling agent inside the follicle, loosening sticky dead cells to clear away non-inflamed whiteheads and stubborn blackheads.
Prevents New Clogs from Forming: Designed for full-face application rather than just spot treating, ensuring that hidden microcomedones (the microscopic beginnings of a pimple) are stopped before they ever reach the surface.
How It Feels
Texture: A lightweight, clean, water-based gel.
Absorption: Melts into the skin instantly and dries down completely invisible with no chalky finish.
Skin Feel: Clean, breathable, and comfortably matte. Thanks to an infusion of built-in humectants, this formula bypasses the aggressive "dry-crackle" stiffness associated with traditional high-street benzoyl peroxide lotions.
Key Ingredients
5% Micronized Benzoyl Peroxide: A medical-grade, intermediate-strength antibacterial agent that clears active acne lesions, purges pore debris, and controls bacterial spread.
Sodium Hyaluronate: A pure, weightless humectant that pulls moisture into the skin tissue to keep cells hydrated and comfortable during your active acne protocol.
Bisabolol: A deeply comforting anti-inflammatory molecule derived from chamomile that minimizes redness and cushions the skin barrier against dryness.
Glycerin: A classic, pore-safe hydration builder that prevents treatment-induced flaking and flaking.
How to Use
Cleanse and tone your skin thoroughly, and let your face dry completely. Apply a thin, even layer of the 5% Acne Med over the entire affected area (avoiding the immediate eye area). Let it absorb completely for 1 to 2 minutes, then follow with your recommended acne-safe moisturizer.
Esthetician Tip for a Flawless Transition: Only upgrade to the 5% strength if your skin has been using the 2.5% Acne Med every night for several weeks with zero dryness, flaking, or irritation. Introduce the 5% formula slowly—start by using it every other night, alternating with your 2.5% strength for the first two weeks until your skin is fully acclimated to the higher percentage.
⚠️ Linen Warning: Benzoyl Peroxide will bleach colored fabrics! Wash your hands thoroughly after applying, use white towels, and sleep on a white pillowcase while using this product.
