DID YOU KNOW ~ that Benzoyl peroxide (BPO) acts as an antiseptic/ antibacterial when applied to the skin?
???
???Because P. acnes (the bacteria that causes #acne) can live in your pores (as it is a lipophilic, anaerobic bacteria), it works to reduce the amount of acne-causing bacteria. BPO also performs two additional functions: the first is oxidization. This means that when applied to the #skin, benzoyl peroxide works to inject air into the pore (which is toxic for an anaerobic bacteria). The second function is to act as an ?anti-inflammatory?, reducing the redness and soreness that can accompany an acne lesion.

???We love BPO products that also contain additional anti-inflammatory ingredients such as niacinamide (vitamin B3), oligopeptide 10, zinc, silver and aloe, to maximize the anti-inflammatory (anti redness) effects of the formula!
