Perox-A-Mint is indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris (common acne). It may help reduce the number and severity of acne pimples and promote healing of existing blemishes.
As a benzoyl peroxide-containing product, this medication works by releasing oxygen into the skin pores, which helps eliminate acne-causing bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes). It also has mild keratolytic properties that help reduce excess oil and dead skin cell buildup.
Benzoyl peroxide products may cause skin dryness, redness, or peeling, especially when first starting treatment. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes. Use sunscreen and avoid excessive sun exposure during treatment. Always follow the specific directions provided with this brand product.
