For more than 40 years, dermatologists have considered benzoyl peroxide (BPO) to be the gold standard for acne treatment and prevention. When it comes to attacking acne, benzoyl peroxide works on several fronts. Its primary function is in killing P. acnes bacteria. It also acts as a “keratolytic” agent, helping to remove the dead cells that clog pores. And finally, it is mildly anti-inflammatory. Now you know why we think it is worth its weight in gold! In fact, a large scale clinical study published in The Lancet demonstrated that BPO is more effective than oral antibiotics, like tetracycline and minocycline, in treating acne without the risk of bacterial resistance.
Benzoyl peroxide is a key ingredient in Rodan + Fields® UNBLEMISH Dual Intensive Acne Treatment. With a dual-chamber deliver system, this formula ensures optimized BPO delivery and acne-fighting benefits.
Sulfur
Sulfur clears pores by shedding dead skin cells and helps to heal preexisting comedones (blackheads and whiteheads). It also provides an immediate benefit by reducing acne’s tell-tale redness and swelling. This remarkable OTC medicine has been used to treat acne for over a thousand years, yet is sometimes avoided due to its odor. Thankfully, advanced processing and new purification technologies can now produce much lower odor sulfur materials for skincare products, and what little odor still remains can be easily masked, so there is no longer any reason not to take advantage of this highly effective acne-treating ingredient.
