FAQ:

Q: What benzoyl peroxide should I use, and why?

A: – Face Up ® (containing Benzoyl Peroxide, Sulfur) – Inova 8-2 ® (containing Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic Acid) – NuOx ® (containing Benzoyl Peroxide, Sulfur) – Sulfoxyl ® (containing Benzoyl Peroxide, Sulfur) – Vanoxide-HC ® (containing Benzoyl Peroxide, Hydrocortisone)

Q: Is benzoyl peroxide good or bad?

A: It is generally OK to use Benzoyl peroxide for a long time, as long as you do not have any serious side effects. When you stop using benzoyl peroxide you may find that acne comes back. You may want to keep using it to keep acne under control. You may find that using it less often, such as once every other day, is enough to control acne.

Q: Does benzoyl peroxide really remove your pimples?

A: While benzoyl peroxide can help treat oil and dead skill cells that clog your pores, this may not be the best treatment option available for blackheads and whiteheads. While benzoyl peroxide does help treat certain types of acne, topical retinoids are considered the first line of treatment. This includes adapalene and tretinoin.

Q: How does benzoyl peroxide actually kill bacteria?

A: In acne, some of these pores become blocked, causing small pimples, blackheads and whiteheads. Benzoyl peroxide has three actions – it kills germs (bacteria), it reduces inflammation and it helps to unplug blocked pores.
