Maximum-Strength Acne Body Wash: Formulated with 10% benzoyl peroxide, Humane Maximum-Strength Acne Wash is a potent face and body cleansing treatment that targets the primary cause of acne growth and combats excessive oil production. Do not use if you have sensitive skin. 8 FL. OZ. bottle
Treats Adult Acne and Teen Acne: This non-foaming (SLS-free) cleanser can be used for face acne, back acne, butt acne and cystic acne.
One Proven Ingredient: We harnessed the healing powers of benzoyl peroxide to help clear and prevent blackheads, whiteheads, pimples and other types of inflammatory acne, while easing redness. It also helps to increase cell turnover by removing the mixture of excess oil, dead skin and debris that clogs pores.
How to Use: Once or twice daily, apply an even layer of Acne Wash to damp skin and gently massage. Let sit for 1 minute initially and gradually increase to 2-3 minutes if you aren’t seeing results. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry. We recommend testing 1 or 2 small, affected areas for 3 days prior to beginning regular treatment to avoid possible irritation.
Simple Yet Effective: A proud member of PETA’s Beauty Without Bunnies program, we harness the healing powers of potent ingredients to get you real results with vegan and cruelty-free ingredients. You won't find parabens, phthalates, sulfates (SLS and SLES), paraffin, formaldehyde, mineral oil, synthetic fragrance/color, petrolatum, DEA, triclosan, or GMOs in our products. Made in the USA.
Minimal-Ingredient Philosophy: When it comes to skincare, less is definitely more. So we limit our ingredient lists to only those required to do the job really well. Absolutely nothing without a specific purpose, and never anything trendy just for the sake of being, well, trendy.

Product Information
Product description
Formulated with 10% Benzoyl Peroxide
Benzoyl peroxide (BPO) is an effective acne treatment recommended by dermatologists and included in the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.
Curbs breakouts
Benzoyl peroxide goes right to the root of the problem, sending oxygen to the pores to proactively prevent acne.
Eases inflammation
BPO helps to heal existing pimples, cysts, and other types of inflammatory acne. With mild exofliating properties, it also keeps pores clear of dead skin cells.
How do I use it to get the best results?
For best results, Humane Acne Wash must be used consistently and left on skin for a minimum of 1-2 minutes before rinsing. Benzoyl peroxide needs time to oxidize and absorb.
What if I have a skin condition such as eczema, psoriasis or rosacea?
If you suffer from a skin condition in addition to acne, we recommend you speak with a dermatologist before trying any over-the-counter acne treatment.
Why doesn't this foam and lather up like other washes I've used?
Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is an ingredient that allows products to foam or lather. It has the potential to cause skin irritation and sensitivity. We wouldn't want to put this on our skin and believe our customers wouldn't either.
Help! I'm breaking out more than I was before.
One of two things is happening: The treated skin is purging or you're having a new product reaction. These reactions should subside over time but will differ from person to person. Any legitimate skincare treatment takes time and consistency to work.
Are there any potential side effects?
Everyone has different skin types and sensitivities. Like any new topical skincare treatment, this product may cause a reaction and/or an initial breakout. Additional acne and irritation may occur as you adjust to a new medication; this is normal.
