Benzoyl peroxide is a topical antibacterial medication used to combat P. acnes, the bacteria that causes acne. It acts as an antiseptic and oxidizing agent, reducing the number of blocked pores. Benzoyl peroxide may be applied to the affected area in gel or cream form.

Allantoin, aloe vera, birch, green tea, orange, lemon, witch hazel, tea tree, willow sage and bilberry are anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial agents. They can act as healing antiseptics and can treat skin problems. These natural nutrients can help clear the skin of toxins, prevent acne, and promote skin health and appearance.

Cons

Benzoyl peroxide can be very drying and may irritate the skin causing redness, burning, itching, peeling or swelling. It may prolong post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation on darker complexions. Do not use if you have very sensitive skin or are sensitive to benzoyl peroxide.

Research suggests benzoyl peroxide can produce free radicals in the skin and has lead to the development of skin carcinoma in mice and hamsters.

Lemon oil can cause skin irritation and sensitivity in some individuals. It is photo-toxic, so it should not be used before sun exposure.

Dosage and Directions

Before use, cleanse the skin thoroughly. Cover the affected area with a thin layer one to three times a day.

Because excessive drying of the skin may occur, start with one application daily. Then gradually increase to two or three times daily if needed or as directed by a doctor. If dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day.

If going outside use a sunscreen. Allow Acne Treatment Creme to dry, then apply sunscreen. If sensitivity develops, discontinue use of both products and ask a doctor.

Avoid contact with the eyes, lips, mouth, hair and dyed fabrics.

Stop use and ask a doctor if skin irritation becomes severe.

Keep out of reach of children.
