What it shares, what it misses

Shares

  • Benzoyl peroxide (10% vs 2.5%)

Misses

  • 2.5% strength (this wash is four times stronger)

Why it is close. A benzoyl peroxide foaming wash, but at 10% so it can dry and irritate more than the 2.5% original. A 4% and 10% wash study found no clinically significant tolerability difference from a reference wash, but a 2.5% wash is still the gentler start. The price comes from retailer listings and is not confirmed on the maker site.
