Benzoyl peroxide is a commonly used topical treatment for mild acne. It is safe for adults and children, and can also be used during pregnancy. It is a product which is more than worthy of a five star rating.

Benzoyl peroxide has the following unique features:

1) It lessens the number of skin surface bacteria (but it does not cause bacterial resistance and in fact can reduce bacterial resistance if this has arisen from antibiotic therapy). It also reduces the number of yeasts on the skin surface.

2) It is an oxidizing agent, this makes it keratolytic and comedolytic i.e. it reduces the number of comedones.

3) It has an anti-inflammatory action.

Benzoyl peroxide is a very useful and very old acne medication. It has been rated very highly by all its users as well as healthcare providers.

I have been using Benzoyl Peroxide for about a year now. My acne has really cleared up.  
 
It got a little worse at first with all the blockages clearing out but I persisted and the result has been excellent. 
 
I am really happy with results.

I have been using the product for about a week now and my skin is feeling stretched, dry and a little red tinged. 
 
It seems to be helping dry out my acne. In just a week it seems to be going away. I hope it goes away completely. 
 
I would reccomend this product to only those who dont have sensitive skin. Good Luck to everybody fighting acne.
