Perrigo 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Gel 60 g

Overview

Perrigo's 60g tube delivers 2.5% benzoyl peroxide in a fragrance-free gel, an over-the-counter acne treatment sized for full-body or facial use.

This is a generic-style drugstore acne gel rather than a branded skincare line, made by Perrigo, a company known for private-label pharmacy products. The 2.5% strength sits at the lower end of common benzoyl peroxide dosing, which tends to be gentler on skin than 5 or 10% formulas while still treating breakouts.

• 2.5% benzoyl peroxide
• 60g (2.1 fl oz) tube
• Fragrance-free
• Whole-body use listed

Who it's for

Fits anyone wanting a basic, no-frills benzoyl peroxide gel for occasional or ongoing breakouts on the face or body. Not the choice for those with very sensitive skin, since benzoyl peroxide at any strength can cause dryness or peeling.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Benzoyl peroxide works by reducing acne-causing bacteria and drying excess oil at the application site, with results typically building over several weeks of consistent use. The tube format allows a measured amount to be applied to the face or elsewhere the label permits.
