Abstract
The results of an open clinical trial of 200 patients in Singapore show that benzoyl peroxide, in a stable gel formulation, both in 2.5% and 5% strengths, was highly efficacious in the topical treatment of acne vulgaris without concomitant systemic therapy. The series included a small number of Caucasians (13 patients) who were also treated effectively. Side effects noted were generally mild and transient.Keywords
