Product: Humane Benzoyl Peroxide 10% Acne Treatment Body & Face Wash
By: Humane
Place to Purchase: Amazon
Product Overview
This is an awesome Acne treatment body and face wash. This product is the way to get rid of Acne by only using it one to two times a day. As the title implies this product has 10% Benzoyl Peroxide that if you remember from the Acne page is not only the best chemical to get rid of Acne, this product also has the highest amount allowed.
Remember that Benzoyl Peroxide kills bacteria and unclogs the pores, not only preventing future acne by unclogging, but also killing the bacteria that causes it.
Benzoyl Peroxide comes in 2.5%, 5% and 10%. The higher the level means it is usually a bit rougher with the skin, so people with sensitive skin would still benefit from 2.5% products without the extreme dryness that would come from 10%.
Higher percentage Benzoyl Peroxide is recommended for people who have tried it all and need some real powerful stuff.
The advantage of having a high percentage wash is the amount of exposure to your face. Creams are meant to be on your face the whole day, while a wash is just meant to clean your face. Since your skin will not be expose to the higher dose of Benzoyl Peroxide for too long it would not be as rough to your skin as a cream. For this reason a wash is no matter the percentage is recommended to all skin types.
Now you have a bit more of background, you might ask…
So Why This Product?
One of the things I love about this product is the simple quick use, damp your skin, pump a small amount on your finger and massage your skin with it, leave the product for a few minutes, wash it off with water and you’re done. Simple, quick, elegant and powerful.
This product can be used for other body parts since it is a body wash, so don’t be shy to use it for chest, shoulder or back Acne.
Humane takes pride in using safe products and having a higher standard for their facilities, with their proprietary Benzoyl Peroxide formula being microscopic enough to enter the pores easily killing the bacteria on contact.
The 8 ounce bottle comes with an easy dispenser, this should be enough to last you a month if used twice a day.
10% Benzoyl Peroxide while not very nice to sensitive skin is very powerful for severe and moderate Acne.
Many reviews in the hundreds of people leaving positive feedback, why can’t that be you? you won’t know unless you try it.
Some Tips and Tricks?
Yeees, This is very powerful stuff, so start with one wash a day and see how your skin reacts, redness and swelling may occur at first, but if it continues and it hurts stop immediately and limit the amount of times you use it.
Because of the strength of this product it is not necessary to apply other Acne products after washing your face, only a moisturizer to avoid getting dry or peeling skin should be enough.
There is a great moisturizer on the Red/Dry skin that it is highly recommended, you put it on after using this wash to avoid redness and peeling.
Always have a special towel or cloth to dry your face and keep it as clean as possible.
Make sure your skin is damp when applying this product, once you apply it massage the area for 1 to 2 minutes, then leave it on your face for 3 to 5 minutes, rinse with warm water and feel it work.
You might notice that towels and pillows got bleached because of this product. Make sure you fully wash off your face, so there is no residual product and that you have no sentimental attachment with your face towel because bleaching is almost guaranteed.
Like always, make sure you try this product for at least a month, there has been cases where some people break out a little when they start using Benzoyl Peroxide, but the following week their face starts to completely clear off. This is why it is so important to be consistent and patient with Acne products, so don’t give up unless it is really peeling or burning your skin.
Don’t hesitate to check out more tips and tricks on the Acne page or head the Scars page for some great products for acne scars.

Thanks for the review. What would you rate it out of 10? Always nice to read a review that has been tried and tested. I live in South Africa. Do you know if they ship to my country? I like the fact that this product is quick and easy to use.
Hello Celeste, I would give it a 9 out of 10, losing 1 point due to the fact that it can really dry your face, but with a proper moisturizer it shouldn’t be a problem. Unfortunately this product is not AmazonGlobal Eligible, so it will not ship to your country, there are however other products in the site that will, like the Clean & Clear Exfoliating Cleanser, which is another great option, thank you for reading.
I have been Suffering from Acne ever since I was young, and the most painful thing is that I too won’t be able to order for this product since I’m from Namibia. I have tried a lot of products (clean and clear) but didn’t work for me.
I have a very sensitive skin but I’m willing to give it a try with this product just to overcome this nightmare.
But don’t you think that it might have some effects in the future even though the Benzoyl Peroxide contained is reasonably low?
Hello,
Sorry to hear that, it is a gamble when it comes to finding the perfect product, some work for some, but not others, but I also noticed than even two different products from the same brand might work differently for the same person.
It’s a matter of research and experimenting, the important thing is the guidance towards the products with the biggest success rate. Benzoyl Peroxide has been around for a while and the only side effect is dry and red skin, it is completely safe, thanks for reading.
Wow I’ve been needing an acne wash for both my face and body. It’s annoying needing to have one body wash and one face wash. My skin is too sensitive to most products which makes me super prone to acne. Some bleach spots on towels and pillows will be the least of my worries!
Hey Gabriela,
This product works wonderfully, I highly recommend it, try a little on your face first to see if it’s not too tough on your skin, just want to make sure nobody is drying their face with their special hand knitted towel haha, thanks for reading.
I think the reason why many acne sufferers don’t clear up their skin permanently is because they do not use treatments like this one everyday. In my past experience the temptation is to just clear up the acne then forget about the product until it reoccurs.
But even when the skin seems clear you have to continue using this wash.
Good review.
Hey Keith,
This is true, unfortunately once you find a product that works, you have to keep using it either every day or every few days, of course some people like teenagers stop getting acne after a while and some adults only get the occasional pimple, so keeping a treatment is important, thanks for reading.
Acne is a real problem for many people especially teenagers. It can destroy their confidence and they do need to use a good acne treatment. I am not a fan of chemicals but sometimes there is very little choice about what we use and it is a lot better than using antibiotics. I know there are people who take antibiotics for acne and I think short term chemical use is far better than long term antibiotic use. Excellent post and very informative.
Hello Margaret, yes, while I did try antibiotics for a while they didn’t really clear my face, also the side effects were just too much, a lot of people have found great success with over the counter acne treatments and I’m confident this product will help many, thanks for reading.
Hello Victor,
Thanks for the post about humane acne treatment body and face wash. My wife has face acne issues and we were looking for a good product which helps remove acnes. We tried few products but not satisfied. After reading your post, I’m now convinced to buy the humane face wash. By the way, does this product work for sensitive type skins?
Hello,
Due to this product being 10% Benzoyl Peroxide, it might be a bit tough to sensitive skin, however I’ve met people with extremely sensitive skin that used this product and only noticed some redness the first week and it started doing wonders for them, my advice is to try it for a month, using it only once a day, at night, its pretty good, good luck. Thanks for reading.
Thanks for this post. My husband has body acne that flares during times of stress and bad eating. I’ve long encouraged him to do something about it, and I think we’ll try this product. he does have sensitive skin (esp to dyes and fragrances), so hopefully this won’t be irritating. Do you know if it has any dyes or fragrances?
Hey Penelope,
No dyes or fragrances, just some good Benzoyl Peroxide, which if his skin is too sensitive could be irritating or drying. I highly recommend this wash, so he should give it a try on a small area of his body first to see how it reacts. Thanks for reading.
Good article on acne treatment, I am blessed with never experiencing acne problems but I did find this article and product interesting enough to share it on my Facebook page for others who might benefit from this product for you.
Thanks for this review, I have been looking for such product. For sometime now I’m having acne problem and from your review I know Benzoyl Peroxide 10% wash effectively and penetrates pores killing the bacteria that cause acne.
Can I purchase it any where apart from Amazon. Am from Ghana and I want to know if they ship to my country?
Hey Collins,
Yes, Benzoyl Peroxide is the most popular chemical for acne treatment and should be the first type of product any acne sufferer should try. Unfortunately only Amazon has it and it does not ship internationally, however there are other wonderful products that you can find on the Acne products reviews page that will certainly help and ship internationally, hope they help, thanks for reading.
Nice article on acne treatment, this product sounds like it might really be of some help. The fact that it contains 10% Benzoyl Peroxide is pretty cool, most products with this percentage are very effective for me.
Do you know if it as effective on shoulder acne as it is on the face?
Hey Brendon,
10% Peroxide is the highest allowed for this chemical, while it might dry some, it will effectively help others, it depends on what you skin can handle. This product can certainly be used on your body, you can use it as a full body wash, hope it helps, thanks for reading.
Hello, is any regular moisturizer good, for example Nivea creme (Germany version)?
Hey Titus,
Really depends on your skin, if you have acne prone skin, if you’re looking for extra things like Sun protection or if you want added natural products. I suggest you check out the Other Products page and look at the reviews of some pretty good moisturizers that would cater to your skins’ needs, hope they help, thanks for reading.
