MIXI CLEAR PLEX 2.8% 

What it is:
A low-strength benzoyl peroxide (BPO) acne treatment used to kill acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and clear breakouts—while being gentler than traditional BPO formulas.

 KEY BENEFITS:

• Kills acne-causing bacteria (C. acnes) at the source
• Reduces inflammation + redness (great for inflamed/cystic acne)
• Unclogs pores + prevents future breakouts
• Helps clear hormonal + stubborn acne
• Gentler than higher % BPO → less irritation, more barrier-friendly

 WHY 2.8%:  

• Lower than traditional 5–10% → less dryness + irritation
• Still effective at killing bacteria
• Designed for gradual acclimation (key in acne programs)

HOW IT COMPARES: 

• 2.8% = beginner / sensitive acne clients
• 5% = moderate acne / more correction
• 10% = resistant or severe acne

This is typically your first BPO step before increasing strength

WHO IT’S FOR:

Ideal for:

• New acne clients
• Sensitive or reactive skin
• Mild → moderate acne
• Inflamed breakouts (papules, pustules)
• Clients starting an acne program

HOW TO USE:

• Start with short contact therapy:
  • 30 mins → rinse (week 1)
  • 1 hour (week 2)
  • then build to overnight
• Can eventually be used overnight or daily
• Often used in place of moisturizer at night

This step is what prevents:

• irritation
• barrier damage
• client dropout
