Are All Benzoyl Peroxides the Same???

Benzoyl peroxide for the treatment of acne is effective in suppressing breakouts when used correctly, and has been classified as safe by the FDA. Benzoyl peroxide in Chico, California is available at 916SKIN, an acne clinic and medical aesthetics practice.

Not all benzoyl peroxide (BPO) products are the same. What you need is a stable, water-based BPO for maximum pore penetration. How do you know if it's stable? You don't. Some products oxidize quicker than others. You can tell when this happens because it will change color and become darker just like an apple turns brown when you cut into it.  BPO is typically inexpensive cashing out around $10 to $15 bucks for an ounce. Buy yourself a quality BPO in a small container (1 oz). 

BPO is extremely effective when used the right way and in the right concentration. When used incorrectly, it will over dry and irritate your skin, potentially leading to more breakouts.
