Benzoyl peroxide is one of the safest and most effective treatments for skin inflammation and is often used as a first-line treatment for mild to moderate acne.
Benzoyl peroxide is a well-known ingredient for fighting acne. This ingredient is included in the content of over-the-counter gels, cleansers and drugs used in spot treatment. In addition, benzoyl peroxide is used to get rid of bacteria and dead skin cells that clog the pores on the skin.
However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns people that the use of certain acne products containing benzoyl peroxide as the active ingredient can cause rare but serious and potentially life-threatening allergic reactions or severe irritation. In other words, drugs whose active ingredient is benzoyl peroxide are considered harmful to health.
Another use for benzoyl peroxide is in baked goods. Benzoyl peroxide is added to flour in order to make bread and other bakery products whiter and more voluminous and to obtain a longer shelf life. Benzoyl peroxide is an additive generally used when bleaching flour. However, the use of benzoyl peroxide in foods is prohibited in European Union countries and in our country, as its negative effects on human health have been determined.
