Product Overview
Benzoyl Peroxide IP 5.0% w/w is a topical dermatological formulation developed for the management of acne-prone skin. It helps reduce acne-associated bacteria, remove excess dead skin cells, and prevent clogged pores, supporting clearer and healthier-looking skin.
Benzoyl Peroxide provides antibacterial and keratolytic action. It releases oxygen on the skin, helping reduce the growth of Cutibacterium acnes, bacteria associated with acne. It also promotes the removal of excess dead skin cells and helps prevent blockage of pores that can contribute to acne formation.
The formulation may be used for mild to moderate acne, including inflammatory pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Regular application as directed by a healthcare professional can help manage existing acne and reduce the likelihood of new breakouts.
