desertcart.com: TOUCH 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Gel for Face & Body, 8 oz | 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide gel for face & body with a lightweight, non-drying formula : Beauty & Personal Care

Review: Thank You-Works & Quickly - Have mild acne.Took a months worth of unflavored bovine collagan I and III.Huge mistake.Huge,ugly cystic acne chin, forehead,cheeks,nose.Stopped the collagan for at least three weeks,changed face wash and moisturizer -still new cystic welts. 'Touch' had immediate results. And within a few short days they are shrinking and clearing away. Under a week and almost gone. I live in Florida so humidity and sunshine.So my face did feel slightly tight or stingy-but minor.And I used a oil free moisturizer and non comedic sunscreen.Once started to clear,I swapped from a entire face thin coat to spot treatment only.Highly recommend.And a lot of product for a small $.Drug store products can't touch this product.
Review: Worked Very Well for Me - Review Update - May 2021 Buying my second tube. First tube lasted approximately 18 months, with x1 daily application. Continues to be effective for me. I noticed packaging is new. Hopefully formula is the same. Noticed it is also expensive by $1-2 from 2019. Original Review: December 2019 I've had adult-onset cystic acne for 10++ years, often triggered by fluctuating hormones and certain food groups (dairy). For a while, what has been really effective were monthly visits to my asthetician for a deep pore clean (extractions and peel) and daily Maca Root supplements (one specific brand only). While I'm still on that routine, this new discovery has proven to be as effective (if not more) and waaay cheaper. My expectations were pretty low coming in, but after about 3 months of use now, I am definitely blown away by this product. First month of use I did twice/day right away knowing that, yes, it will irritate my skin. It was strong and harsh. It stung and dried my skin. But I know my skin well enough to say that while it is super sensitive, it is also very resilient. It dried my skin, with mild-moderate redness as well. It was itchy on some days and slightly irritated. It was like this for a few weeks. Sometimes I took a day or two of rest from the product or used it once per day. But I used it regularly. Despite all the "side effects" of initial use, my pores were tight, skin was smooth and large cystic acne decreased significantly. After that initial month, as expected, my skin got used to it. Flash forward to now, it's been 3 months and my face does not dry or sting at all (it's still quite cold out here like December). It does not turn red after use, nor do I get that stinging itch after use. My cystic acne is near non-existent. I still get the ocassional hormonal breakouts around my neck and jawline but much reduced in size, redness and amount. You know a product is simple, strong and effective when it does not have any fragrance, the ingredients list is short, the color is paper-white and consistency is thick. That's what this is. Straightforward, no frills, industrial grade acne treatment that works. I've never truly been this happy with my skin. At the same time, I know that at one point it will stop being as effective and my skin will become immune to its effects. That just how my skin is. But until then, I will be enjoying this product and the others from this brand which I intend to try. Best way to work with hormonal cystic acne is, never give up, continue to adapt, and just love what you have.

## Features

- Clarrifying Acne Gel: 2.5% benzoyl peroxide gel provides a fast-acting acne treatment with no excessive dryness or irritation. This lightweight gel fights existing face and body acne, prevents future breakouts, and reduces redness. Use as a daily treatment or spot treatment.
- Micronized Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO): Traditional BPO particles are larger than the average human pore, making them less efficient and more irritating. Our specially milled BPO particles are less than 10 microns allowing them to penetrate pores more efficiently to eliminate acne bacteria with no irritation.
- Effective for All Skin Types: Our micronized BPO kills off acne causing bacteria that live deep in your pores and controls excess oils. Effective for all types of face and body acne including cystic, pimples (pustules), whiteheads, blackheads, papules, and nodules.
- Lighteweight & Less Irritation: Oil-free and alcohol-free acne medication contains only non-comedogenic ingredients for fast absorption. Can be worn under makeup and moisturizers. Less irritating than 5% or 10% benzoyl peroxide gel products. No fragrance, artificial coloring, parabens, phthalates, or sulfates.
- Made in USA: Clean and Vegan Ingredients, Made in the USA in a cGMP/SOP compliant facility. No parabens, dyes, phthalates, sulfates, or drying alcohols.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm looking to use this as an aftershave for my face will it work?**
A: I would think it would burn

**Q: Is this a clear gel or is it white / more like lotion ?**
A: This goes on as a clear gel.

**Q: Is the saccharide isomerate gluten free? What is it derived from?**
A: I am not sure, but I didnt like this product...I returned it and went for a store bought option instead. I recently bought Neutrogena Stubborn Marks Benzoyl Peroxide AM and the PM Retinol one by Neutrogena...so far I am seeing good changes. Slowly but good. Hope this helps.

**Q: Can this be used on back?**
A: Since it’s a spot acne treatment, it can be used on the back.  You can apply it to affected areas.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yay 2.5% in a big tube too!
*by S***A on July 22, 2026*

Happy to have found a 2.5% benzo peroxide gel and it’s such a good price. I’m a regular user of 10% and I find that it’s very drying for my face. I’ve struggled with cystic chin, acne for years, and it really does help as long as I am religious about using it. I love that it’s a big tube but it is a little bit cumbersome for me so I bought some 2 ounce squeeze bottles to keep it in and just refill as needed. Happy with my purchase.
