Akademieroxid® Gel 100 mg/g

Aknaroxid® Gel is an acne therapeutic intended for use on the skin.The active ingredient benzoyl peroxide works immediately after application by releasing reactive oxygen.This reduces bacterial growth on the skin, removes dead skin cells and reduces the stratum corneum.This allows the inflammation of the skin to subside and the skin's appearance to improve.

Area of application

Akneroxid® Gel is used for acne vulgaris, especially on the chest and back.It is also suitable for acne vulgaris that does not respond adequately to 5% benzoyl peroxide preparations.The active ingredient benzoyl peroxide works against the acne bacteria that are partly responsible for the development of acne.In addition, the keratinization disorder that occurs with acne is positively influenced by the gentle peeling effect.
