  • Title: [Clinical and experimental studies on the effect of benzoyl peroxide in the treatment of acne].
    Author: Fanta D.
    Journal: Hautarzt; 1978 Sep; 29(9):481-6. PubMed ID: 151546.
    Abstract:
    In recent years benzoylperoxide has become increasingly popular in the treament of acne. Beside of a dermal irritative and keratolytic effect this was attributed to the bacteriostatic quality of the substance. By in vitro autoradiography and determination of skin surface lipids in benzoylperoxide=treated skin also a sebostatic effect could be observed. Scanning electron microscopy showed that benzoylperoxide influences the horny layer in a similar way like salicylic acid.
