Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What the gurus are saying

The 5% strength is the detail gurus keep returning to, with praise for how it helps tackle inflamed pimples and body acne. Its creamy, non-foaming texture earns praise for feeling gentle and hydrating, which suits dry or sensitive skin. Opinions split on whether 5% is a good starting point or a little too strong at first, so newcomers may want to build up in small steps.

"I decided to explore benzoyl peroxide cleansers, which brought me to the INKEY List one, which is about 5% benzoyl peroxide. I continued to use that and started to recognize that I loved using a cleanser so much more. I was making tiny little steps to get to where I am now, but the 5% was a little bit too much for me."

"I've been using Panoxyl under my arms for quite a while and it's worked really well but because I love this from the Inkey List, it's really easily accessible and affordable, I've been using this under my armpits and I love it. [...] Anything with benzoyl peroxide is killing bacteria so if there was anything that's actually causing that [folliculitis], this is literally made to kill the bacteria which ends up working really really well for me."

"The Inkey List launched a benzoyl peroxide cleanser that is better than the Panoxyl one I've always reached for. This is the Inkey List Super Solutions 5% Benzoyl Peroxide cleanser and you can use this on the face, on the chest, and on the back. [...] When you rinse this off it actually rinses off well and I think that this is even more hydrating than the Panoxyl one. This is fragrance-free, five fluid ounces."

"I love this one because number one it contains an effective concentration of benzoyl peroxide, which is between 2.5 to 5 percent. I find that benzoyl peroxide because it can be really irritating, the formulation does matter in improving tolerance, and this one is such a gentle creamy cleanser that almost applies like a thicker lotion. It doesn't foam, so it's really great for individuals that have more dry and sensitive skin."

"The five percent benzoyl peroxide cleanser is a great starting point at a very high strength. Benzoyl peroxide is [...] anti-inflammatory, it helps kill the acne causing bacteria on your skin without causing resistance like antibiotics can. I really love benzoyl peroxide for more inflamed pimples and those pus bumps of acne, and you can always save the 10 percent strength for chest and back acne."
