Abstract
A double-blind study of two commonly used (5%) benzoyl peroxide-containing preparations showed that they were equally effective in the treatment of acne. With these treatments there was a reduction in P. acnes, Micrococcaceae and surface-free fatty acids. These data support the continued use of benzoyl peroxide preparations in the treatment of acne.
