That's right, as scary as it may be, the active ingredient found in the majority of acne creams has actually proven to cause the development of tumors within the skin. These creams are sold almost everywhere and there is a good chance that the acne cream you are currently using may contain the active ingredient, in fact, you may have even been sold on purchasing the product because it includes this active ingredient. The FDA acknowledges the risk and has forced acne cream manufacturers to disclose the risk of these products to consumers on the labels. The author examines what active ingredient has so many skin care experts and dermatologists so upset, and why consumers continue to use this product with little to no concern of the impending damage.
The active ingredient in question here is Benzoyl Peroxide. This ingredient has been one of the most advertised and most popular treatments for acne over the past few decades. Yet very few consumers know that over a decade ago, the FDA actually recommended that consumers stop the use of this harmful ingredient, and actually increased the risk category of this product by two. In addition to this two category move, the FDA launched further tests, who's results will not be out for a few years more, due to the long term concerns of using this ingredient. Benzoyl Peroxide is responsible not only for forming tumors in the skin over the long term, it also causes severe damage with each and every application.
Most of us have heard of free radicals and the dangers that they cause to our skin. Most of us would not venture out into the sun for prolonged periods of time because we are aware of the damage that can be caused to our skin. Yet, no one expects that the treatment you put on your skin for acne will actually cause the same amount of damage with each and every application. That's right, Benzoyl Peroxide actually generates free radicals in your skin, causing premature aging and severe wrinkling.
Consumers who suffer from acne breakouts who have spent the better part of their life have been using products that will actually cause more damage to your skin than the acne itself. They are blessed to use this treatment and potentially trade out unsightly acne breakouts and replace them with unsightly wrinkles and age spots. It just doesn't seem fair. Yet because the FDA results are not in and will not be back for a few more years, consumers are still "allowed" to use this ingredient. But they do so at serious risk.
While the FDA has mandated that these products disclose the danger of this ingredient on the labels, consumers are still poorly educated about it. They see celebrity endorsed products and think all is well, but they never take the time to research the best treatments for acne. They assume that Benzoyl Peroxide is it, when all natural alternative such as Resveratrol actually outperforms the chemical based Benzoyl without any of the health concerns. Skin care experts and dermatologists are resigned to educate consumers of the perils of this active ingredient and the need to move on. Many experts claim that the use of this ingredient is much like the use of nicotine, consumers did not originally know the damage it can cause until it is too late. No not rely on the FDA to act swiftly, research the product you use and be sure you are using only the best, all natural products, your skin will thank you.
