WHAT YOU'LL SEE
Some light flaking is normal as Benzoyl Peroxide flushes pores and peels impactions. Skin will appear clearer and smoother with regular usage. 

WHAT YOU'LL FEEL
Skin may feel dry or tight initially as skin acclimates to Benzoyl Peroxide. If excessive dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day until skin calms.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
Not recommended for hyperpigmentation-prone skin.  Benzoyl Peroxide is the strongest non-prescription acne fighter available.

DR. FULTON'S NOTES

“Mandelic Acid and Benzoyl Peroxide play an invaluable role in our arsenal of skin care innovations. Benzoyl Peroxide is still unquestionably the fastest, most effective over-the-counter topical weapon we have against acne and acne scarring.  Mandelic acid is equally valuable as the cornerstone of acne and hyperpigmentation treatment for a diverse range of skin tones.”

HOW TO USE / DIRECTIONS

  • Can be used on face, back, and chest
  • Wet face.

PRO TIPS AND USAGE NOTES:

  • Use a white towel when cleansing face to avoid bleaching fabric.

Absolute Game Changer

As an adult with acne-prone skin, this COMPLETELY mitigated it for me. I use it before bed and in the morning without fail, and have never had acne again when using this. I have been using it for years and the few times I ran out/stopped, the acne did return. I also moved to Hawaii (from Utah) and ran out and started getting crazy blackheads, and when I got this again, that went away as well. I follow with jojoba oil and my skin looks amazing as long as I use this. I cannot say enough how important this product has been for me.

Dear Tara,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with our BP 3% Acne Wash. We are thrilled to hear that it has been a game changer for your acne-prone skin. Did you know that Benzoyl Peroxide is an organic compound that penetrates pores and releases oxygen to kill the acne causing bacteria? It's amazing stuff! We also wanted to let you know that in addition to our BP 3% Wash and BP 3% Exfoliating Cleanser, we also carry a BP 10% gel medication which is the ultimate acne treatment. Thank you for being a loyal customer and for trusting us to help keep your skin clear and healthy. Keep glowing!

Acne under control

Where ever I use this cleanser, the acne disappears. It’s wonderful, not too strong but still gets the job done.

Dear Janise,

Thank you for the glowing review of the BP 3% Acne Wash. This anti-bacterial wash for acne not only kills acne bacteria, but is also mild enough to effectively treat inflamed acne. It certainly is gently 'getting the job done' to clear acne safely and efficiently.

We hope you will continue to enjoy Vivant products, and perhaps investigate other products in our line.

Have a wonderful day!

Great products

Love the products for my skin. Only complaint is that the bottles don’t travel well. They leak every time so you have to figure out some other container to use.

Best cleanser!

This cleanser has helped keep my breakouts away. I struggle with hormonal acne and random pop ups depending on foods I eat. I see less breakouts than normal. I can’t see myself changing cleansers anytime soon.

Dear Kate,

Thank you for taking the time and leaving a 5 star review. We are happy to learn that you love the BP 3% Acne Wash

We hope that by maintaining consistency you will be able to achieve the optimal results you are looking for.
