FT. WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Galderma Laboratories, L.P., maker of Cetaphil®and the #1 prescription topical acne brand, today announced the launch and nationwide availability of Benzac Skin Refining Mask and Benzac Acne Eliminating Cleanser, new additions to the Benzac Acne Solutions product line. With summer selfie season in full-swing and back to school right around the corner, the two new products, along with the full Benzac Acne Solutions line, are available to help the nearly 100% of teens who suffer from acne take the guess work out of treating it. The Benzac Acne Solutions line of products has clinically-proven ingredients to treat stubborn acne and prevent new pimples from forming.
Benzac Skin Refining Mask gently exfoliates and purifies the skin with active ingredient salicylic acid, and natural East Indian Sandalwood and French clay help remove excess oil and quickly reduce swelling and redness from acne breakouts. Benzac products start working immediately with results shown over time. In a study 93% of users saw an improvement in their acne in two weeks after using the Benzac Skin Refining Mask and Benzac Complete Acne Solution regimen (Benzac Skin Balancing Foaming Cleanser, Benzac Intensive Spot Treatment and Benzac Blemish Clearing Hydrator). Key ingredient East Indian Sandalwood Oil has been used for thousands of years in Eastern medicine and is known to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and soothes the skin. Benzac Complete Acne Solution regimen and Benzac Skin Refining Mask are the only skin products that contain this natural and sustainable ingredient.
Benzac Acne Eliminating Cleanser gently removes excess oil, and penetrates pores to eliminate most acne blemishes and to help prevent new pimples from forming. The gel formula cleanser contains 2.6% benzoyl peroxide, a clinically-proven acne fighting ingredient that kills the bacteria that leads to breakouts and helps prevent pimples from coming back. For normal to oily skin, Benzac Acne Eliminating Cleanser can be used as an alternative to Benzac Skin Balancing Foaming Cleanser. It is not recommended for people with sensitive skin or sensitivity to benzoyl peroxide.
“The addition of Benzac Skin Refining Mask and Benzac Acne Eliminating Cleanser allows teens to customize a highly effective skincare regimen that quickly clears up mild-to-moderate acne and helps keeps it from coming back,” says board-certified dermatologist and Galderma spokesperson Dr. Dendy Engelman. “Unlike some acne treatments that can be harsh on the teenager’s skin, Benzac’s salicylic acid products don’t cause harsh irritation and dryness and leave skin smooth and luminous.”
Benzac Acne Solutions products are non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores), free of artificial fragrances and dyes, and are not tested on animals. Product cartons are 100% recyclable, and the key ingredient in Benzac’s salicylic acid products – East Indian Sandalwood Oil – is sustainably sourced.
