The Miracles of Benzoyl Peroxide
Benzoyl Peroxide is one of the top recommended treatments for mild acne, including whiteheads and blackheads. Acne affects most teenagers, but acne does not discriminate against age, sex or race. While not a life threatening condition, acne can be upsetting and disfiguring, and have profound psychological effects that will stay with a person far into adulthood. When rare, severe acne can even lead to permanent scarring. Even less severe cases can lead to minor scarring. While acne is not curable, it is 100% treatable! The Benzoyl Peroxide in Truderma a time proven, highly effective acne treatment.

Benzoyl peroxide is an antiseptic. It reduces the number of surface skin bacteria, but does not cause bacterial resistance to antibiotics, making it safe for long term use. Benzoyl peroxide is also an oxidizing agent and it drains comedones (mild acne) on the skin surface and acts as an anti-inflammatory. Simply put, Benzoyl Peroxide on its own is a good treatment, but those products that offer three-step kits far excel in overall effectiveness and continual prevention.

The properties of benzoyl peroxide make it extremely useful in the treatment of mild to moderate acne. The anti-inflammatory properties will reduce swelling in infected papules and pustules, allowing a relief from the soreness that often accompanies acne outbreaks. The oxidizing factor dries out the thickened sebum or fluid within the acne and helps to alleviate the plugged pores, so that acne may heal without trauma to the area caused by popping the acne.

Things to look out for when using Benzoyl Peroxide:

- A 5-10% concentration can dry out the treated area, so be sure to use 2.5%. If the skin is visibly scaly, apply a light, non-oily moisturizer. Truderma contains 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide.

- Skin irritation is rare. Consider applying benzoyl peroxide once a day, especially if you are new to benzoyl peroxide. Your skin may need a few weeks to adjust.
