Position 1

#1Benzoyl Peroxide (4%)

Origin: chemical
Role: Antiacne agent, Oxidizing agent
Cleansing
Acne fighting
EWG Rating [ 3 ]
Bad for dry skin
Bad for dry skin

Benzoyl Peroxide is very effective against acne. It destroys Propionibacterium acnes - a bacteria that causes this problem. That's why it works so great. It also helps to renew and exfoliate dead cells helping to make the skin cleaner. You can find this component in many anti-acne products.

#1Water

Origin: natural
Role: Solvent
EWG Rating [ 1 ]

Water is a great solvent. It’s neutral and doesn’t provide any strong positive or negative effects. It just helps components to mix better and to transport active components.
