Our take
Why It’s on Our Radar
We don't recommend the high-strength BPO products. Independent testing flagged very high benzene and there is active litigation — though note it was not FDA-recalled.
What's inside
Ingredients & Safety
Benzoyl peroxide (up to 10%), which can degrade into benzene; third-party testing reported an unusually high level.
Worth a closer look — 1 ingredient we flag:
Benzoyl Peroxide 10% — sometimes listed as BPO
An acne active that can chemically break down into benzene, a known carcinogen, especially when stored warm — the basis of the 2024–2025 FDA testing and recalls.
Full Ingredient List
- Benzoyl Peroxide 10%
- Water also listed as Aqua, Purified Water
- Glycerin also listed as Glycerine, Vegetable Glycerin
