@stunskinapp: Benzoyl Peroxide for acne: what happens inside the pore? PT 2 When oil and dead skin trap C. acnes bacteria inside a pore, inflammation can build fast. Benzoyl peroxide breaks down into reactive oxygen species, creating an environment where acne-causing bacteria struggle to survive. It also has mild keratolytic effects, helping loosen the dead skin cells and excess oil that keep the pore clogged. That’s why benzoyl peroxide is often used for red, inflamed pimples and pustules, but it can be drying, so the routine around it matters. #BenzoylPeroxide #Acne #AcneTreatment #PimpleCare #Skincare
