Who It's For

Oily skin and acne only

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

This is a good, basic benzoyl peroxide wash at a good price.  Great for teens and 20s with lots of oil.

How to Use

Use once or twice a day but all BP products may stain towels, pillow cases and sometimes clothing so generally we recommend using in the morning only.  The wash (as opposed to a cream) does that less since you are rinsing it off.

Ingredients

Active Ingredients: Benzoyl Peroxide 5%, Inactive Ingredients: Carbomer, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Sodium C14-16 Olegin Sulfonate, Water

Size: 6.8 oz

Who It's For

Sensitive or irritated or post laser skin.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review 

For sensitive skin.   Also see the Pevonia Soothing Sensitive Skin Cream that goes with this.

Creamy and gentle, and removes makeup well for a gentle cleanser.  Contains safflower seed oil, horse chestnut seed extract and calendula extract.  The size is almost 7 ounces and lasts a long time.

How to Use

Once or twice a day

Ingredients

Water (Aqua), Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract, Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut) Seed Extract, Polysorbate 20, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Tilia Cordata Flower Extract, Glyceryl Stearate, Tocopherol (Vit.

Who It's For

Scrubs are best daily for those with oily skin, large pores and acne but cut back if you get irritated or seem too dry. They should be used only once or twice a week otherwise. Over scrubbing is easy to do. 

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

We tested about 10 different facial scrubs and most were either too harsh or just annoying in some way - like horrid fragrance, etc. We liked two of them and this was one.  (The Eminence Citrus Exfoliating Wash was the other.) This one is still very gentle (good), but creamier and more hydrating than the Citrus Wash.  You could use this daily if you have oily skin and acne or several times a week otherwise. Could be used with the Clarisonic Mia.

How to Use

See above, depends on skin type and what other products are being used.  Remember that all retinoids and glycolics exfoliate to some extent.

Ingredients

 Size: 6 fl. oz

Who It's For

Dry, sensitive or post-procedure skin.

Dr. Irwin's Product Review

We often use this cleanser for our post-laser care patients and others with sensitive or very dry skin.   Very creamy, moisturizing but removes make-up.  Packaging is travel friendly, but you have to check it (larger than 3 ounces so you cannot carry it on).  Most with sensitive skin do very well with this cleanser.  Not drying.   

How to Use

Use gently with your hands twice a day.
