One of the problems with benzoyl peroxide topical acne treatments is that they can be quite irritating
particularly to sensitive skin. Those fans of benzoyl peroxide will thus be pleased to learn that one skin care company that supplies prescription acne and skin care products is releasing a treatment with a delivery system that reduces benzoyl peroxide's irritating effect.
Called NeoBenz Micro
this acne treatment will be available only by prescription
which is one drawback. On the plus side
it should mean that the acne sufferer is given the appropriate strength to their particular needs. It is aimed at helping people with mild to moderate acne
and comes in three strengths. These are 3.5% benzoyl peroxide
5.5% benzoyl peroxide
and 8.5% benzoyl peroxide.
The difference in this treatment as compared to regular benzoyl peroxide solutions
is that it is a time release product. The method designed by SkinMedica
NeoBenz Micro's developer
uses very small 'sponges'
called microsponges. These hold the active ingredient
in this case benzoyl peroxide
to be slowly released throughout the day. It means that though acne is kept in contact with benzoyl peroxide for the whole day
only small amounts of it are released onto the skin. These amounts are enough to be effective but far less irritating.
The side effects that this benzoyl peroxide acne treatment aims at reducing are rashes
skin soreness
and irritation. Aside from the unpleasant feeling these effects create
they unfortunately also reduce the effectiveness of benzoyl peroxide in clearing acne.
NeoBenz Micro is one example of a new trend in the pharmaceutical industry. It aims at taking existing products and developing new ways to package and deliver the active ingredients
thus effectively modernizing many treatments. The emphasis in the past had been more research oriented - finding new and more powerful treatments rather than fine tuning existing ones that were proven to work.
Other examples of this phenomena include converting treatments into sprays
with the effect of increasing absorption and convenience. MedPharm
a research contracting firm
is turning one eczema treatment and two acne treatments into sprays. These are still in the development stage
however.
