Medicinal Benefits:

Clinfresh 2.5% Anti Acne Soap contains ‘Benzoyl Peroxide’, an antibacterial medication used to treat bacterial skin infections like acne (pimples). It is an organic compound with an irritant, keratolytic (removes warts and calluses), comedolytic (inhibits the formation of blemishes), and anti-inflammatory activity. Clinfresh 2.5% Anti Acne Soap kills bacteria, reduces inflammation, and unblocks clogged pores. It decomposes to release oxygen when applied to the skin. This oxygen acts as a bactericidal agent, killing Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria that cause acne.
