Most acne sufferers in Chico have heard of benzoyl peroxide because it's a sure-fire solution for getting acne under control when used with the right combination of acne products. BPO works by releasing oxygen into the pores to destroy bacteria. This makes it a great weapon especially for those who have inflamed acne, or tender pimples, that lurk for weeks under the skin. Benzoic acid works to exfoliate inside of the pores - think of it as reaming out all the grit & grime. This is why light flaking & dryness often occur. Used incorrectly, BPO can leave your skin overly dry and irritated, which can be catastrophic - causing major set backs with acne. BPO can be a worst enemy or a best friend - so learning which BPO to use and how to use it, is critical.
BPO bleaches clothing, sheets, towels - so watch out for your favorite sweatshirt!
