Benzoyl peroxide acne

July 6th, 2009

Benzoyl peroxide acne can potentially be a very effective anti acne treatment. Benzoyl peroxide works by reducing the bacteria on skin and it can help reduce yeast as well.

Pro’s for Benzoyl peroxide acne treatment:

  • Benzoyl peroxide is fairly cheap.
  • Benzoyl peroxide can potentially be a very effective anti acne treatment depending on your specific situation.
  • Benzoyl peroxide can be found in many acne fighting treatments, gels, creams, pills… You would be surprised how widely it is used.

Con’s:

  • Benzoyl peroxide is not the most effective acne treatment for most.
  • Many can have allergic reactions to Benzoyl peroxide.
  • The main side effect most get from Benzoyl peroxide is drying of the skin, which could get pretty serious if used in high doses.

The verdict: Benzoyl peroxide is a good acne treatment, however the potential side effects and the potential for a serious allergic reaction prohibits me to highly recommend it. Try to talk to your dermatologist before Benzoyl peroxide treatment if at all possible.
