Targeted treatment beyond your cleanser
This benzoyl peroxide formula treats acne after the cleansing step, remaining on the affected skin rather than being washed away. Its acne-treatment active reduces the bacteria involved in breakouts and helps improve spots and blocked pores. A thin application provides a focused treatment step within a simple acne-care routine.
A straightforward leave-on gel
Apply this treatment after cleansing rather than using it as a wash. The pictured formula has a short inactive-ingredient list with no fragrance listed. This is Rugby’s higher-strength 10% option. It may be more drying than a lower-strength treatment, so consider your skin’s tolerance rather than assuming stronger is better.
How to use
Cleanse the skin thoroughly, then cover the affected area with a thin layer one to three times daily, following your pack. Reduce to once daily if dryness or peeling occurs. Do not apply extra product to try to speed up results.
Before you use it
For external use only. Do not use on very sensitive skin or if sensitive to benzoyl peroxide. Keep away from eyes, lips and mouth; flush eyes thoroughly with water if contact occurs. It can bleach hair, clothing and other coloured fabrics.
Limit sun exposure and use sunscreen. Other acne treatments used at the same time or immediately afterwards can increase irritation; use only one if this occurs. Stop if irritation becomes severe. Keep out of reach of children.
Storage
Keep the cap tightly closed. Avoid temperatures below approximately 4°C or above 38°C, as stated on the US pack.
