IS BENZOYL PEROXIDE THE BEST OVER-THE-COUNTER TREATMENT?
MP: For years, it has been the #1 go-to over-the-counter treatment for acne due to its powerful bacteria killing properties. The only problem? It is extremely drying and even causes a “rebound” effect that occurs with many popular acne regimens. This happens because benzoyl peroxide strips the skin of the oils it needs to remain healthy and balanced. As a result, the skin reacts by producing excess sebum that causes further breakouts. Salicylic acid, tea tree oil, essential fatty acids and zinc sulfate are all ideal ingredients to combat acne and are much gentler on the skin. Q: IS ACNE CONTAGIOUS? MP: Yes, it’s very contagious! In my studies, I have learned that when a pore becomes clogged or erupts into an infection, it puts pressure on the neighboring pores and hair follicles. When this happens, the pores are unable to release sebum as they should naturally. In turn, the neighboring pores become clogged and infected themselves.
