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!
