RUGBY LABORATORIES Benzoyl Peroxide Wash USP 5% is a topical cleansing treatment formulated to help reduce acne pimples and manage oily skin when used as directed.

This 8 fl. oz. medicated wash contains 5% benzoyl peroxide in a rinse-off formula designed for daily use on acne-prone areas.

It’s packaged for home use and produced under Rugby Laboratories’ quality controls for over-the-counter acne care.

How should I use this benzoyl peroxide wash in my routine?

Use the wash once to three times daily depending on skin tolerance. Wet skin first, then apply a thin layer, massage for 10–20 seconds to build a lather, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry.

• Apply to affected areas only; avoid contact with eyes, lips, and mucous membranes.
• Start with once daily to assess tolerance; increase if skin tolerates it well.
• Follow with sunscreen during the day—benzoyl peroxide can increase sun sensitivity.
• Discontinue if severe irritation or allergic reaction occurs.

What does 5% benzoyl peroxide do, and is it safe?

Benzoyl peroxide is an active ingredient commonly used in topical acne products to help reduce surface bacteria and assist in clearing pores. The 5% concentration balances effectiveness for many users while aiming to limit excessive dryness compared with higher strengths.

• Contains 5% benzoyl peroxide — a standard OTC acne strength.
• Rinse-off format reduces prolonged exposure versus leave-on products.
• Not recommended for those with known benzoyl peroxide sensitivity or very sensitive skin.
• May bleach fabrics—avoid towel and clothing contact immediately after use.

Will this product dry out my skin?

This medicated wash is formulated to address oily, acne-prone skin, and it can cause dryness or peeling in some users, especially at first. Adjust frequency of use, and pair with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to maintain skin barrier balance.

• Expect possible mild dryness while skin adjusts.
• Reduce use if skin becomes overly tight or irritated.
• Combine with gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers as needed.
• Patch-test on small area if you have sensitive skin history.
