New Research in Acne treatment will increase results and tolerability
New research in acne treatment indicates that the antioxidant Resveratrol (Skinceuticals) inhibits the bacteria responsible for the acne breakouts.
When combined with benzoyl peroxide it enhances the bacteria-killing ability of the drug.
Resveratrol and Benzoyl Peroxide
The two products, Resveratrol and Benzoyl Peroxide added to cultures of skin cells and blood cells showed a sustained bacterial growth inhibition. The fact that the antioxidant seams to prolong the activity of the benzoyl peroxide will allow us to decrease the dose of the oxidant and minimize skin cell toxicity since Benzoyl peroxide is poorly tolerated by some patients because of severe irritation and dryness.
