Benzoyl Peroxide

Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%, 5% gel or soap) is a non-antibiotic topical anti-acne bactericidal agent on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. Upon application, it decomposes to release benzoic acid and reactive free oxygen radicals that oxidize bacterial proteins, rapidly destroying Cutibacterium acnes in the pilosebaceous follicle without inducing bacterial resistance. Also possesses mild comedolytic and keratolytic properties. Indicated for mild-to-moderate acne vulgaris.

Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide is a synergistic dual-mechanism topical anti-acne formulation. Adapalene (0.1%), a third-generation synthetic naphthoic acid retinoid, binds selectively to nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RAR-beta and RAR-gamma) to normalize follicular epithelial desquamation and resolve microcomedones while exerting potent anti-inflammatory effects. Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%) releases bactericidal reactive oxygen species that rapidly kill Cutibacterium acnes without inducing bacterial resistance, and provides mild keratolysis. Indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris with both inflammatory papules/pustules and non-inflammatory comedones.
