Product Description:
Jan Marini Skin Research Benzoyl Peroxide 5% and 10% strengths are the medications of choice for treating acne. Jan Marini Benzoyl Peroxide 5% is recognized by the American Academy of Dermatology to significantly reduce the presence of P acne bacteria (the bacteria believed to play a primary role in the inflammatory aspect of the acne process). Many physicians and researchers believe that benzoyl peroxide, used in conjunction with glycolic acid, is a potent tool to achieve dramatic clearing of acne lesions and prevent changes within the follicle associated with the acne process.

Jan Marini Benzoyl Peroxide 5% is pharmaceutically produced using formulary guidelines recommended by renowned acne specialists such as James Fulton, M.D. and Albert Kligman, M.D. By using highly micronized benzoyl peroxide and special non-comedongenic emollients, this preparation minimizes dryness and irritation, while providing maximum measurable effectiveness.

Features & Benefits:
• Medically proven medication that can dramatically assist in clearing acne lesions
• Effective in minimizing open comedones (blackheads)
• Aids in preventing the formation of new lesions
• Benefits are further enhanced when used in conjunction with Bioglycolic home care products
• Highly micronized formula has a soft emollient consistency
• Special non-comedogenic moisturizers minimize dryness and irritation

Skin Types:
Acne or acne prone

How To Use:
Begin by applying Jan Marini Benzoyl Peroxide 5% once daily only, preferably in the evening to affected areas, not just each individual lesion. For example, if the patient has acne on the forehead, the medication should be applied to the entire forehead area. Apply Jan Marini Benzoyl Peroxide 5% after the application of all other products. In other words, if the patient is using Jan Marini Bioglycolic Night Cream or a combination of other products, the Jan Marini Benzoyl Peroxide 5% should be applied last. Keep away fom eye area. Unless the acne is severe, it is generally recommended to begin with the 5% strength in the evening and increase usage to morning as well, if necessary. As skin acclimates, strength may be increased to 10%.
