How does a benzoyl peroxide spot treatment work?

It's inevitable: we're all going to wake up with a pimple (or a few) occasionally. It's smart to be prepared with a good acne-fighting solution. Combined with a salicylic acid exfoliant (whether it be a cleanser, a liquid, or a lotion), benzoyl peroxide makes up the second part of a one-two punch against pimples.

A topical benzoyl peroxide treatment (usually in the form of a gel or liquid) will kill the bacteria that are causing the breakout, help unclog the offending pore, and reduce inflammation, whereas salicylic acid only unplugs the pore. Over-the-counter strengths of benzoyl peroxide usually range from 2.5% to 10%. Higher concentrations are available by prescription but risk irritating and drying the skin.

Benzoyl peroxide can help to prevent acne flare-ups before they come to a head, so to speak, so the best time to apply it is in the early stage, when the bump is little and hasn't yet erupted. If you always break out in a particular area, you can apply the product there regularly. In fact, a 2004 study published in The Lancet found that topical benzoyl peroxide treatments are as effective as taking prescription oral antibiotics for some cases of acne.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
