Product details

FLYLEAF Folliculitis Treatment Cream is a topical, fast-absorbing formula combining 5% benzoyl peroxide and tea tree oil to reduce visible follicle inflammation, soothe itch, and support skin barrier recovery.

If you’re dealing with inflamed scalp bumps, razor burn, or stubborn body breakouts around hair follicles, this cream is formulated to reach into pores, calm discomfort, and hydrate without a greasy finish. The blend pairs a proven antibacterial agent with cooling menthol and botanical extracts, plus ceramides and squalane to help restore skin resilience while treating the area.

How quickly can I expect relief from itching and redness?

Many users notice a cooling sensation on contact from menthol and aloe vera, which can reduce the urge to scratch soon after application. Visible reduction in minor redness often appears with consistent daily use, although individual timing varies.

  • Immediate: menthol and aloe provide rapid cooling comfort.
  • Short term: 5% benzoyl peroxide penetrates pores to help clear bacteria and unclog follicles.
  • Ongoing: ceramides and squalane replenish moisture to limit irritation rebound.

Can this be used on the scalp, face, and body safely?

The formula is designed for multi-area use where folliculitis and related follicular irritation occur, including the scalp, jawline, chest, back, and legs. Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and broken or deep wounds; patch-test first if you have sensitive or reactive skin.

  • Scalp: lightweight cream spreads easily under hair and absorbs without heavy residue.
  • Face & body: targeted application reduces clogged follicles and surface bacteria.
  • Precautions: patch-test and avoid open cuts or severe skin damage.

What active ingredients make this effective and how do they work together?

The main active, 5% benzoyl peroxide, helps penetrate and reduce pore-clogging buildup and surface microbes. Tea tree oil and botanical extracts support a balanced skin environment, while ceramides, squalane, and centella asiatica focus on hydration and barrier repair to prevent dryness from aggressive actives.

  • 5% benzoyl peroxide: targets pore buildup and surface microbes.
  • Tea tree oil + botanicals: provide complementary purifying support.
  • Ceramides & squalane: restore lipids and soften after-treatment dryness.

Will it leave my skin greasy or stain clothing?

This formulation is non-greasy and engineered to absorb quickly, minimizing transfer to clothing and reducing the heavy residue often associated with ointments. Use a small amount and allow it to set before dressing to further reduce any chance of staining.

  • Lightweight, fast-absorbing cream suitable for day or night use.
  • Non-staining when allowed to dry; avoid contact with fabric until set.
  • Ideal for layering under other hair or skincare products when needed.

Who is this for: FLYLEAF Folliculitis Treatment Cream is intended for adults experiencing mild-to-moderate follicular irritation such as scalp bumps, razor burn, ingrown hair flare-ups, and body breakouts around hair follicles. It suits people seeking a targeted, multipurpose topical that combines an established topical antibacterial with soothing botanicals and barrier-repair ingredients. Do not use on large open wounds or severe infections; consult a healthcare professional for persistent or worsening conditions.

FAQ

Q: How often should I apply FLYLEAF Folliculitis Treatment Cream?

A: Apply once or twice daily to affected areas, or as tolerated. Start with a patch test and follow directions; adjust frequency if irritation occurs.

Q: Is this product safe to use under hair or after shaving?

A: Yes — it’s formulated for scalp and post-shave use. Avoid freshly broken skin and wait until minor nicks have closed before applying.
