  • Title: The effect of benzoyl peroxide on acne.
    Author: Cunliffe WJ, Holland KT.
    Journal: Acta Derm Venereol; 1981; 61(3):267-9. PubMed ID: 6167116.
    Abstract:
    A double-blind study of two commonly used (5%) benzoyl peroxide-containing preparations showed that they were equally effective in the treatment of acne. With these treatments there was a reduction in P. acnes, Micrococcaceae and surface-free fatty acids. These data support the continued use of benzoyl peroxide preparations in the treatment of acne.
