⚠️Always use benzoyl peroxide only after consulting a dermatologist

▪️Benzoyl peroxide has many uses. It kills bacteria by releasing free radical oxygen species. There is no bacterial resistance with benzoyl peroxide. This is the reason why in acne , we encourage use of benzoyl peroxide antibiotic combination rather than antibiotic alone.

▪️Benzoyl peroxide is available in 2.5%, 4%, 5% and 10% strength in gels, creams , lotions and washes.

Uses:
✔️Whiteheads and active acne
It helps in reducing whiteheads due to its keratolytic effects. It is helpful in active acne as well due to antibacterial properties.
How to use : use 2.5% gel twice a day for only one hour

✔️Armpit odour
Bacterial overgrowth os the cause for bad smelling armpits. Using benzoyl peroxide soap while bathing helps in reducing odour. Apply the soap and leaving it on for 5 mins before washing it off.

✔️Smelling feet
Pitted keratolysis is a common condition which can give bad odour to feet. Using benzoyl peroxide soaks for 10 mins helps in improving the condition .

✔️Buttock acne
Benzoyl peroxide washes can help in improving active acne in the buttocks. Do not use it for dark spots as it won’t helps in improving the spots once acne has resolved.
