SLMDby Dr. Pimple Popper BP Body Wash – 5% Benzoyl Peroxide Exfoliating Cleanser for Clearer, Smoother-Looking Skin – 6 fl. oz Skincare

SLMD never fails. Great product

I noticed results quickly, realized the effect of this product when I ran out and forgot to re-up!

A good product. The only downside it will remove color from wash clothes and towels.

Gets rod of small pimples and blemishes quickly

I’ve tried a lot of Benzoyl Peroxide cleansers over the years. I’ve had acneic skin since I was a teenager. I’m now almost 40 and still dealing with breakouts. My skin is sensitive and dehydrated yet oily. I’ve successfully used up to 10% BP on my skin (in a leave-on treatment) and so I was confident this cleanser at 5% would still do the job, without the harsh effects of a higher percentage. This cleanser doesn’t dry out my skin but I have noticed it will make it peel if you use acids/other actives in the same routine. That’s to be expected! I’m familiar with SLMD but hadn’t yet ordered and I’m glad I started with this cleanser.Reading the ingredients, I was surprised to see more skin-friendly actives in there, like: niacinamide for calming and post acne marks, allantoin for moisturization, but also mandelic and malic acids (great actives, especially for darker skin prone to hyperpigmentation), 2 peptides, beta glucan and lactobacillus, lilac extract, panthenol, and 2 great alternatives to harsh cleansers (olefin sulfonate and coco betaine).I can feel that it’s a silky cleanser on my skin and it’s runny when it comes out of the tube. Watch out for that or you will use more than you meant to! I was disappointed to see eucalyptus leaf oil in there. Usually anti-acne products always contain some sensitizing ingredients like this, but at least this doesn’t have added fragrance and it’s listed at the end of the ingredient list. I didn’t feel a tingle when using it, so that’s great news for my sensitive skin. This ingredient is likely added to provide a cool feeling to inflammatory acne, which can feel hot and uncomfortable.The instructions say to foam it up with your hands, but before that you should use a separate cleanser to wash. So you’re essentially double cleansing your body, which I do anyway. It doesn’t say if you can use this on your face, but I tried it and had no adverse effects. It doesn’t say how long to leave it on for, but with wash-off actives, I always go for 2-5 minutes.I really like using this on my pits as well as my back, behind, chest and arms. I’m having great results for breakouts on my chest, but the arms (KP) will take longer or it might not respond at all. I would order this again and recommend it to anyone dealing with breakouts at any age!

Works well and lathers up quickly. Felt nice and clean after using it.

Overall, I'm not sure that 5% benzoyl peroxide is a good value, especially at the price, compared to other over the counter benzoyl peroxide body washes. This body wash lathers well, and feels like it does a good job of general cleaning. After a week though, I don't see as quick results as with other, stronger body washes. I find that this doesn't dry out my skin as much as other body washes, but I would probably recommend other OTC brands with higher concentration of active ingredients.

I was excited to try this product from Dr. Pimple Popper, and it definitely lives up to my expectations! While the scent isn't ideal, the wash leaves my skin feeling silky soft and clean. Since I started using it, I've had no breakouts at all. I highly recommend it!
