Does peroxide-5 work for acne ????plz help me
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reduces lesions: benzoyl peroxides at 2.5, 5 and 10% have been shown to help reduce the number of acne lesions. You will probably develop some dryness and or flaking by using this product. If your acne improves but you become dry, try using a non comedogenic moisturizer. This will help make the treatment//use of BPO tolerable.
