Benzoyl Peroxide is a keratolytic agent that penetrates the skin to cleanse and unclog blocked hair follicles. It releases oxygen to kill bacteria in the skin, reducing the bacterial load that leads to infections like pyoderma. The gel also helps to remove excess oil and dead skin cells, promoting healthier skin and reducing irritation.
