Triaz is indicated for the treatment of acne vulgaris (common acne). It may be used for mild to moderate inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne on the face, chest, or back.
Triaz contains benzoyl peroxide, which has antibacterial properties that reduce Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) bacteria on the skin. It also has mild keratolytic properties that help shed dead skin cells and unclog pores.
Triaz may cause skin dryness, redness, peeling, or irritation, especially when first starting treatment. It may also bleach hair or colored fabrics. Patients should start with lower concentrations and increase gradually as tolerated. Sun exposure should be limited as the medication may increase sun sensitivity.
