BenzaClin Chemical Information
benzoyl peroxide - A peroxide with antibacterial, irritant, keratolytic, comedolytic, and anti-inflammatory activity. Upon topical application, benzoyl peroxide decomposes to release oxygen which is lethal to the bacteria Proprionibacterium acnes. Due to its irritant effect, benzoyl peroxide increases turnover rate of epithelial cells, thereby peeling the skin and promoting the resolution of comedones. Benzoyl peroxide is used in the treatment of acne vulgaris.
clindamycin hydrochloride - The hydrochloride salt form of clindamycin, a lincomycin antibiotic with antibacterial activity. Clindamycin hydrochloride exerts its antibacterial effect by binding to the 50S subunits of bacterial ribosomes, thereby interfering with peptidyl transferase activity in the elongation process of protein synthesis. As a result, this agent prevents bacterial cell growth.
