Benzoyl peroxide and sulfur: foundation for acne management

R D Wilkinson et al. Can Med Assoc J. .

Abstract

One hundred and thirteen consecutive patients with acne were studied by qualified dermatologists during a trial of topical 10% benzoyl peroxide and 2%-5% sulfur cream. The results were considered "good" to "excellent" in both office and clinic situations. The method was remarkably free of undesirable side effects. The program has been adopted as a standard acne regimen at the dermatology clinic of the Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal.
