This oil-free, ultra-light lotion helps fight existing acne breakouts and prevent future breakouts on the face or body. It controls excess oil, soothes skin, and visibly calms redness, while its hydrating properties help minimize dryness and peeling.

Unlike most benzoyl peroxide–based acne products, Clear Acne Regular Strength Cream 2.5% BP contains no harsh or skin-aggravating ingredients that can cause more problems. Instead, you get a truly gentle formula medicated with the gold standard anti-acne ingredient benzoyl peroxide.

All Paula’s Choice products are 100% fragrance free, clinically proven to be non-irritating, and never tested on animals.
