HOW DOES BENZOYL PEROXIDE WORK...

WHERE TO BUY BENZOYLE PEROXIDE IN CHICO, CA        916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

Benzoyl peroxide is commonly used for the treatment of acne. It is a powerful oxidant that diffuses into the follicles (pores). The action of benzoyl peroxide is similar to that of hydrogen peroxide when applied to a wound. However, it is the benzoyl portion of the molecule that moves peroxide down into the follicles where it kills bacteria and peels the inner lining of the pores. Acne bacteria (P. acnes) are anaerobic and cannot survive in the presence of oxygen. Benzoyl peroxide also works superficially to peel dead surface cells, thus loosening impactions.

Not all benzoyl peroxides are created equal. Certain preparations make benzoyl peroxide ineffective. Oil-based formulations impede the action of benzoyl, whereas some formulations are unstable, rendering them ineffective. If benzoyl peroxide products havn't worked for you in the past, please try ours. We offer a variety of concentrations, and when used properly and in conjunction with the correct skin care system, they will help your acne.
