Harris PHARMACEUTICALS 5% Benzoyl Peroxide Wash, 8 oz — Acne-Clearing Facial Cleanser for Acne-Prone Skin

Harris Pharma 5% Benzoyl Peroxide Wash is a topical cleansing treatment formulated to help control mild to moderate acne by reducing acne-causing bacteria and promoting exfoliation.

This 8-ounce wash contains 5% benzoyl peroxide and is designed for acne-prone skin. It can be used alone or alongside other dermatologist-recommended acne products as part of a routine. The formulation cleanses pores, helps remove excess oil and debris, and supports skin turnover to help reduce the appearance of blemishes over time.

How do I use this wash in my daily routine?

Use the wash once or twice daily depending on skin tolerance. Apply to wet skin, gently massage to lather for 20–30 seconds, then rinse thoroughly. Start with a shorter contact time if you have sensitive skin and increase as tolerated.

• Wet face, apply a small amount, massage gently, rinse well.
• Begin with nightly use, increase to morning and night if tolerated.
• Follow with a non-comedogenic moisturizer and sunscreen during daytime.

What results can I expect and when should I reassess?

Visible improvement in blemishes can take several weeks; consistency is key. Some users notice fewer new pimples within 2–6 weeks, while complete results vary by individual. If irritation or no improvement occurs after 8–12 weeks, consider consulting a skincare professional.

• Initial dryness or flaking is common as skin adjusts.
• Look for fewer inflammatory lesions within weeks of regular use.
• If irritation persists, reduce frequency or stop and seek advice.

Will this product suit sensitive or dry skin?

Benzoyl peroxide can be drying or irritating for sensitive skin types. If you have dryness, start with less frequent use and pair the wash with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer. Avoid combining with other exfoliating products without guidance to reduce the risk of irritation.

• Patch-test on a small area before full-face use.
• Use a mild, hydrating moisturizer after washing.
• Avoid harsh scrubs, retinoids, or strong acids simultaneously unless advised.
