Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO)• Anti-bacterial
• Lipophilic: penetrates stratum corneum, enters the
pilosebaceous unit, reduces P acnes
• Comedolytic and anti-inflammatory effects
• Available over-the-counter and by prescription: 2.5%-
10%
• May bleach hair, clothes, and bed linens
• Labeld “GRASE”: generally regarded as safe and
effective by the FDA
• Pregnancy Category C. Molecular weight 242.23
• May cause irritaiton

BPO Mechanism of
Action• Potent antibacterial agents
• Improve both inflammatory and
noninflammatory lesions (comedones)
• Dry and peel the skin
• Help clear blocked follicles
• May be used alone to treat mild acne
• Should be used in conjunction with topical
retinoids and topical or systemic antibiotics for
more severe cases

©PVernon20

Combination
Products• The combination of erythromycin or
clindamycin with benzoyl peroxide
helps prevent bacterial resistance
• There appears to be a synergistic
effect: The combination appears to be
more effective than either drug used
alone

Topical Antibiotics• Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects
• Indirect effect on comedogenesis (by
reducing P acnes, which would otherwise
activate the immune system and intensify
comedogenesis)
• Should not be used as monotherapy
• Strains of P acnes may develop
resistance to the antibiotic
• Resistance prevented by using in
combination with BPO

Retinoids Mechanism of Action• Target microcomedones: precursors for all other acne lesions
• Increase turnover of follicular epithelial cells, causing extrusion of
comedones
• Help normalize hyperkeratinization and abnormal desquamation
• Help prevent formation of comedones and inflammatory lesions
• Improve follicular microclimate
• Reduce inflammation
• Enhance follicular penetration by other drugs
• Important for
• Maintaining clear skin; prevent new lesion formation
• Clear comedonal and inflammatory acne
• All retinoids cause sun-sensitivity

Retinoid Systemic
Absorption• “Continuous daily dosing of tretinoin 0.1%
cream, tazarotene 0.1% gel, and adapalene
0.1% gel has been shown to only slightly
increase the mean maximum plasma levels of
circulating retinoids in most patients.....serum
retinoid levels were found to be more heavily
influenced by dietary intake than by topical
application of tretinoin”

• inhibits neutrophil function and migration
• Co-administration orally with TMP/SMX caused increased
levels of dapsone and its metabolites

Oral Antibiotics
• Inhibit growth of P acnes and bacterial
protein synthesis
• Decreases free fatty acid production
and pustule formation
• Significant anti-inflammatory action as a
result of their inhibition of the
chemotactic response of neutrophils
