Benzamycin (Benzoyl Peroxide/Erythromycin) is used to treat mild to moderate acne vulgaris. Its active components consist of benzoyl peroxide and erythromycin. Benzoyl peroxide works by reducing the population of acne-causing bacteria, specifically targeting Propionibacterium acnes, a bacteria type linked with acne. It also aids in reducing inflammation and promoting the shedding of dead skin cells, thereby assisting in unclogging pores. Erythromycin, an antibiotic, works by eradicating bacteria on the skin. In essence, Benzamycin combines the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of these active ingredients to effectively treat acne by addressing both the bacterial presence and the associated inflammation.
