Clear Plex 5%

Cleanse skin thoroughly and pat dry

Dispense a pea-sized amount and apply a thin, even layer across the entire affected area rather than spot treating individual blemishes.

Avoid the corners of the nose, mouth, and eyes where skin is thinner and more reactive.

Key Ingredients
Benzoyl Peroxide: Water-soluble crystalline powder in the organic peroxide family that works as a bleaching and peeling agent, is antimicrobial, increases cell turnover, reduces bacterial count, clears up existing acne, and prevents future breakouts.

Glycerin: Provides long-lasting, intense moisture retention.

Inactive Ingredients: Purified Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Carbomer, Caprylyl Glycol, Sodium Hydroxide, Potassium Sorbate

Kills Acne-Causing Bacteria Directly
Benzoyl peroxide works by releasing oxygen into the follicle, creating an environment where C. acnes bacteria cannot survive — making it one of the few topical actives with a bactericidal (not just bacteriostatic) mechanism of action.

Reduces Inflammatory Acne Lesions
Clinical studies consistently show benzoyl peroxide reduces both the number and severity of inflammatory papules and pustules with regular use — typically within 4–8 weeks of consistent application.

Three Strengths for Targeted Treatment
The 2.8% concentration suits sensitive or first-time users; 5% is the most clinically studied strength for daily acne treatment; 10% addresses stubborn, treatment-resistant breakouts or body acne where skin tolerance is higher.

Helps Prevent Antibiotic Resistance
Unlike topical antibiotics, benzoyl peroxide does not contribute to bacterial resistance — a clinically important advantage for anyone managing chronic or recurring acne long-term.

Lightweight Gel Base with Skin-Supporting Humectants
Glycerin and butylene glycol help offset the drying effect commonly associated with benzoyl peroxide, keeping the formula functional without compromising tolerability.
