Does akneroxid 5% 5 benzoyl cure acne scars??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not if it's only BP: If only active ingredient is benzoyl peroxide, I wouldn't expect it to help scars. Best topicals for acne scars usually retinoids, like tretinoin, adapalene tazarotene. These products require a prescription.
