FACT: Benzoyl Peroxide has a unique dual mechanism that works as follows: Once it penetrates the pores, it releases oxygen which in turn, suppresses bacteria. Its deep exfoliating properties then flush out the pore impactions, leaving the skin acne free.
FACT: As a surface exfoliator, salicylic acid is sufficient for loosening superficial impactions such as blackheads. However it does not treat acne at its source in the dermal layer.
FACT: Benzoyl Peroxide is the most efficient in a hydroalcolic form
