PanOxyl 10% Acne Foaming Wash vs. Differin Maximum Strength Acne Foaming Cleanser 10% Benzoyl Peroxide
Position 1
#1Benzoyl Peroxide
Origin: chemical
Role: Antiacne agent, Oxidizing agent
Cleansing
Acne fighting
EWG Rating [ 3 ]
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.
BUT you should avoid this component if you have dry skin. Even people with oily skin notice that it dries the skin hard. Be careful!

#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.
