Hydroderm Benzacide 75g Soap

Benzoyl peroxide releases oxygen on the skin's surface, which kills the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes that contribute to acne. Second, it works as a keratolytic agent, meaning it helps to exfoliate the skin by promoting the shedding of dead skin cells. This prevents clogged pores, which reduces the formation of new acne lesions.
