Benefits of Benzoyl Peroxide in Acne Treatment

PCA Acne Cream

Benzoyl Peroxide is an important ingredient in acne treatment for cleansing skin from dirt, oils and dead skin cells.  It has been known to regulate the oil production in the skin created by sebum.  Benzoyl Peroxide helps to reduce blackheads as well as whiteheads, pimples and acne breakouts that can lead to acne scarring and cysts.  

Benzoyl Peroxide is an antibiotic, but unlike oral antibiotics, it won't reduce the resistance to bacteria.  Benzoyl Peroxide kills the Propionibacterium acnes which causes inflamation.  PCA Skin has a couple of great products that have Benzoyl Peroxide, PCA Skin BPO 5% Cleanser - $35, 10% OFF and
PCA Skin Acne Cream - $22, 15% OF.
