Blemish Control No. 5
"For clients dealing with persistent breakouts that don’t fully clear with basic routines, GlyMed Plus Blemish Control No. 5 is one of the products I reach for. I like it more for oilier skin types and for acne that keeps coming back. This is not something I typically recommend for sensitive skin - it’s better suited when the skin can tolerate more targeted support."

GlyMed Blemish Control No. 5 is best for individuals experiencing inflamed acne, clogged pores, or recurring breakouts. It is especially helpful for oily skin types that need both bacterial control and pore-clearing support. The 5% benzoyl peroxide makes it a stronger corrective option within an acne routine.
Yes. GlyMed Blemish Control No. 5 is effective for inflamed acne because benzoyl peroxide helps reduce acne-causing bacteria while calming active breakouts. By oxygenating the pore and reducing bacterial activity, it supports faster resolution of inflamed blemishes and helps prevent future flare-ups.
It can cause some dryness or flaking, especially when first introduced. This is a normal response to benzoyl peroxide as it works to clear the pores. Using a supportive moisturizer alongside can help maintain balance while still allowing the treatment to work effectively.
Yes, but it’s important to avoid overloading the skin with too many strong actives at once. GlyMed Blemish Control No. 5 can be paired with gentle cleansers and barrier-supporting products. If using exfoliating acids or retinoids, many people alternate usage to reduce the risk of irritation.
Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin in the evening. Start by leaving it on for about 5 minutes, then gradually increase to 20 minutes as your skin tolerates it before rinsing. Over time, some clients may transition to leaving it on overnight. It can be layered over a hydrating serum if needed. Not everyone needs to use it overnight, a slow, timed introduction is recommended based on your skin’s response.
