Benzoyl Peroxide

Benzoyl peroxide is a widely used topical treatment for acne. It works by reducing the amount of acne-causing bacteria on the skin and helps to unclog pores, reducing inflammation and pimple formation. Available in various forms, such as gels, creams, and washes, it is effective for mild to moderate acne. While generally safe, some people may experience skin dryness or irritation. It's important to follow usage directions and potentially consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice. Benzoyl peroxide can often be found over-the-counter in pharmacies.
