If you currently are using a benzoyl peroxide product and would like to try Skin Remodeling Copper-Peptides (SRCPs) in your skin care regimen, please carefully review the following: The effectiveness of either product will not be lessened if both are used. However, Skin Biology recommends that the SRCPs perhaps be applied later at night (or at opposite ends of the day).

Skin Remodeling Copper-Peptides are powerful anti-inflammatories that help trigger the skin's natural mechanism of renewal and the 'pushing' up to the fore layer healthy 'remodeled' skin. Only certain types of copper-peptide complexes have this range of tissue regenerative and remodeling actions. The only types of copper-peptide complexes that have these actions, as demonstrated by independent and published studies, are those invented by Dr. Loren Pickart.

Mild itchiness is normal, especially for few initial weeks of its use. If you are having uncontrolled itchiness, stop taking the medication and visit the doctor.

No, Neova recommends you do not immediately use this product in conjunction with products containing copper peptide as L-ascorbic acid disrupts the protective carrier of the copper.

Typically, other products claiming to contain copper peptides contain copper salts mixed with random peptides or proteins and not specific GHK Copper Peptides. Copper Salts can be irritating and the body finds it difficult to utilize them. If the ingredients label says it only has copper peptides or copper salts, then it generally does not have the true effective GHK Copper Peptide Complex.

I experience a very tolerable low level of what one might describe as "burning". Many people who begin my regimen report redness for the first couple of weeks, after which time the redness subsides. If you start the regimen too quickly and you have sensitive skin, you should absolutely expect redness/dryness, sometimes severe. If you are new to benzoyl peroxide, it is a good idea to use just a light coating of benzoyl peroxide at first, and up the dosage over a period of a couple of weeks.

It implies that the medication is working and inhibiting the overproduction of sebum. Apply dermatologist recommended moisturizers to soften it.

Benzoyl Peroxide is a white powder with a chemical formula of (C6H5CO)O2. The chemical is known by many other names, with the more common ones including: Benzoyl Peroxide has been used for treating acne for over 50 years.

Ask your dermatologist, but recent research shows that it should never be used for long term. It produced cancer in a trial done on an animal when it was used for a year long period. Ask your doctor for possible risks.

is best. However, anything up to 5% should most likely be fine, albeit more drying and no more effective. Avoid 10% preparations which will over dry. One exception when dealing with pimples on the back. The skin in this area is tough and may withstand 10% nicely. If you can find a 10% for much cheaper, you may want to try it on the back. It will not be more effective than a 2.5% solution, but may save you money.

Yes, but be sure to apply Immune Perféct and Immune Shield first in order to receive the benefit of deep cellular penetration.

Carbamide Peroxide has a molecular weight of 94.07; Hydrogen Peroxide has a molecular weight of 34.01. Therefore it takes 2.76 times as much Carbamide Peroxide to have the same whitening ability as Hydrogen Peroxide. For example 15% Carbamide Peroxide is equal to 5.42% Hydrogen Peroxide.

The skin of many rosacea sufferers may be sensitive and easily irritated. Patients should avoid using any products that burn, sting or irritate their skin. In a National Rosacea Society survey, many individuals with rosacea identified alcohol, witch hazel, fragrance, menthol, peppermint, eucalyptus oil, clove oil and salicylic acid as ingredients that irritated their individual cases, and many also avoided astringents and exfoliating agents.

Benzoyl peroxide helps to cure acne by breaking down dead cells on the surface of the skin. This helps to unblock the sebaceous glands. This in turn, allows the sebum that the sebaceous glands secrete, to escape, rather than become trapped in the pores. Benzoyl peroxide also helps to kill the bacteria that feed on the sebum and cause the blockages in the first place, thus it helps with all the areas that can cause or exacerbate acne.

Benzoyl peroxide is said to be comedolytic which means it breaks down clogged pores. However, there is no miracle product that I know of that can quickly get rid of a full fledged pimple once it has established itself on your skin. However, benzoyl peroxide can clear up acne faster than would be possible without benzoyl peroxide and does a brilliant job at preventing future acne. For even better spot treatment results, alpha hydroxy acid can be administered.

A quote from "Acne and Rosacea Third Completely Revised and Updated Edition", 2000: "Following application to the skin, benzoyl peroxide is rapidly metabolized to benzoic acid, a harmless chemical. Extensive use in human beings has failed to demonstrate absorption. The drug is eminently safe." A quote from The British Journal of Dermatology, 1990: "So far no skin malignancies after the clinical use of benzoyl peroxide has been reported.
