SummaryBenzoyl peroxide, a small molecule drug with potent antibacterial properties, was originally sanctioned in January 1968 by Maruho Pharmaceutical for treating acne. By penetrating deep into the skin's pores, this wonder drug unclogs them, successfully reducing inflammation and thwarting new pimples from forming. It's available in various forms, including creams, gels, and washes, and is typically applied topically to the impacted regions of the skin. Although generally well-tolerated, benzoyl peroxide may cause a few side effects, including skin dryness, redness, and peeling. Despite its shortcomings, benzoyl peroxide remains an effective and widely used remedy for acne. |
