Benzoyl Peroxide the medication of choice for treating Acne. Benzoyl Peroxide is a potent and effective antibacterial agent available. It is proven to significantly reduce the presence of P acne bacteria (the bacteria believed to play a primary role in the inflammatory aspect of the acne process)
P acne bacteria thrives in an oxygen free environment and feeds on trapped oil in the sebaceous follicle. It then releases a toxic, corrosive fatty acid by product that works to break down the follicle walls and encourage the leaks and ruptures that produce acne lesions. By reducing the P bacteria colonies, the inflammatory process is minimized and clearing of acne lesions is greatly enhanced.
