Benzoyl peroxide is a topical antimicrobial and keratolytic agent widely used to treat acne by reducing Cutibacterium acnes bacteria and promoting follicular exfoliation. It is available over-the-counter and by prescription in concentrations typically ranging from 2.5% to 10%.
Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan that attracts and binds water to the skin, helping to maintain hydration and improve the appearance of plumpness and smoothness. It is widely used in moisturizers and serums and is generally well tolerated across skin types.
