Benzoyl Peroxide

Benzoyl Peroxide is a powerful and popular ingredient in the fight against acne.

It works by penetrating the skin to kill acne-causing bacteria, reducing inflammation, and promoting the shedding of dead skin cells to keep pores clear.

You’ll typically find Benzoyl Peroxide in cleansers, gels, and spot treatments, usually in concentrations ranging from 2.5% to 10%.

It’s straightforward to use; apply it to clean, dry skin once or twice daily, depending on your skin’s needs and tolerance.

It’s effective for treating mild to moderate acne and can be used alone or in combination with other treatments like adapalene.

Some initial dryness, redness, or peeling is common, but using a gentle moisturizer and sunscreen can help mitigate these effects.
