Product Details

Description

Benzoyl Peroxide belongs to the drug class of topical antiseptics and keratolytics, which help manage mild to moderate acne by reducing surface bacteria and promoting skin cell turnover. It is often included in dermatological care due to its broad antimicrobial activity and low potential for resistance. This medication is commonly used alone or in combination with other therapies, such as topical antibiotics or retinoids. While initial dryness or irritation may occur, gradual application typically improves skin texture and reduces lesion count over time. Order Benzoyl Peroxide online from licensed Canadian pharmacies at affordable prices.

  • Ensure that you or a caregiver knows how to use your Benzoyl Peroxide product properly. If you have any questions or concerns, consult your healthcare provider.
  • Start at a lower concentration and use it gradually to reduce the risk of dryness and swelling.
  • When using Benzoyl Peroxide cleanser for armpits, wash the affected area with a non-medicated soap and water, or with a mild cleanser, and pat dry before applying the Benzoyl Peroxide gel.

  • This medication is for topical use only and should not come into contact with sensitive skin areas like eyes, lips, or mucous membranes.
  • Wash your hands after using this product.
How It Works

Benzoyl Peroxide works by targeting two key causes of breakouts. First, it eliminates acne-causing bacteria, specifically Cutibacterium acnes, by releasing oxygen into the pores, creating an environment in which these bacteria cannot survive. At the same time, it helps exfoliate the skin’s surface by removing dead skin cells & excess oil, which helps prevent clogged pores and future blemishes. It also has mild anti-inflammatory effects that can help reduce redness & swelling associated with active pimples.

Common Benzoyl Peroxide side effects may include:

  • Dryness on the skin

  • Blistering or severe skin irritation
