Benzoyl Peroxide

Uses

Benzoyl Peroxide is used in the treatment of acne.

How it Works

How Benzoyl Peroxide Works Benzoyl Peroxide is an organic compound with keratolytic properties, meaning it helps to even out uneven skin. When applied to acne, it releases oxygen, which kills bacteria. This is how it effectively treats acne.

Expert Advice

  • Do not apply it to sunburned or damaged skin.
  • Be cautious when applying Benzoyl Peroxide to large areas, as it can bleach hair, clothing, and furnishings upon contact.
  • This medication increases skin sensitivity to sunlight.
  • Apply it at night and avoid excessive sun exposure.
  • Use sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors.
  • It may cause skin dryness or a stinging sensation.
  • If you experience excessive irritation or an allergic reaction, discontinue the medication and consult your doctor.
