   Got this at Walmart. You can also get it at CVS or http://www.drlinskincare.com. It has 5.0% benzoyl peroxide as the active ingredient. Here are the inactive ingredients: Water, Glycerin, Polyacrylamide, C 13-14 Isoparaffin, Laureth-7, Calendula Extract, Arbutin, Kojic Acid, Ascorbic Acid, Sodium PCA, Allantoin, Panthenol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glycosphingolipids, Phenoxyethanol, Methylisothiazolinone, Fragrance.

   This product claims to reduce redness and inflammation, while fading the discoloration of dark and red marks in old and new acne damaged skin. It also evens out skin tone and is Hydroquinone-free.

   I know some BB creams contain kojic acid and arbutin as part of the lightening factor. So this is awesome in my opinion.

   Product comes in a 1 fl. oz white squeeze container. It is natural and has no parabens. It is a white shiny mixture when swatched on my hand. It has an herbal smell. When rubbed in, it dries to a matte finish (that you get with silicon based primers). This has no silicon. Usually, when I use benzoyl peroxide products, my sensitive skin is red and feels tight. This product does not do that. My skin does not feel patchy. The product feels almost like a lotion primer.

   I’ve used it for 2 nights consecutively. I have not experienced magical results, but the 2 acne spots I have have shrunk considerably.

   I really like this product and will continue to use. If things work out, I will purchase the cleanser and moisturizer as well.

   I did purchase the moisturizer (Dr. Lin Daily Hydrating Gel). It is similar in texture and feel like the Garnier Moisture Rescue Gel for normal/combination skin. It is clear in color. However, I found it almost too moisturizing. I probably won’t repurchase the moisturizer.
