Neutrogena Stubborn Acne AM Treatment – 2.5% Micronized Benzoyl Peroxide, Oil-Free, 2.0 oz

Meet Neutrogena Stubborn Acne AM Treatment

Start your day with a lightweight, oil-free solution designed to address breakouts where they start. This daytime treatment uses 2.5% micronized benzoyl peroxide—an ingredient dermatologists often recommend in OTC products—to help reduce visible pimples and calm redness as you go about your day.

What sets it apart is its vanishing formula, designed to blend into skin so you can wear makeup or go makeup-free with confidence. The product is free from parabens, oils, phthalates, dyes, and fragrances, making it a discreet addition to many skincare routines.

Key benefits

• 2.5% micronized benzoyl peroxide targets breakouts at the pore level, helping to address the acne-prone zones.
• Deep- pore penetration aims to address the factors behind pimples by reaching oil-filled pores.
• Oil-free, lightweight texture that dries clear and can be used daily on the full face or just on trouble spots.
• Paraben-free, oil-free, phthalate-free, dye-free, and fragrance-free as part of a dermatologist-recommended OTC regimen.

How to fit it into your routine

• Apply in the morning after cleansing, on clean, dry skin, as part of a broader skincare routine.
• Pair with Neutrogena Stubborn Marks PM Treatment at night to support a continuous routine that aims to reduce post-breakout redness and marks over time.
• Combine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to protect skin from sun exposure while treating breakouts.
