Benzoyl Peroxide for Acne Treatment with Dr. Reena Jogi in Houston, Memorial, and Katy
Benzoyl peroxide is one of the most trusted and effective topical treatments for acne. At Village Dermatology, Dr. Reena Jogi regularly recommends benzoyl peroxide as part of a personalized acne care plan for patients in Houston, Memorial, and Katy. Known for its ability to reduce acne-causing bacteria and inflammation, it can be a simple yet powerful step toward clearer skin.
How Benzoyl Peroxide Works
Benzoyl peroxide targets acne in two key ways:
Reduces Acne-Causing Bacteria – It penetrates the skin to kill Cutibacterium acnes, the bacteria responsible for triggering breakouts.
Decreases Inflammation – By lowering bacterial levels and calming irritated skin, it helps reduce redness and swelling.
Unlike antibiotics, benzoyl peroxide does not lead to bacterial resistance, making it a reliable long-term option for acne control.
Types of Acne Benzoyl Peroxide Treats
Benzoyl peroxide is effective for:
Mild to moderate acne
Inflammatory acne (red, swollen pimples)
Acne-prone areas on the face, chest, and back
It can be used alone or combined with other acne treatments for greater results.
How Dr. Reena Jogi Incorporates Benzoyl Peroxide into Treatment Plans
Dr. Jogi customizes benzoyl peroxide use based on your skin type and acne severity. She may recommend it as:
A daily cleanser to wash away excess oil and bacteria
A leave-on gel or cream to target active breakouts
Part of a combination therapy with topical retinoids or oral medications
She also advises patients on proper application to maximize benefits and minimize irritation.
Tips for Using Benzoyl Peroxide Safely
Start with a lower concentration (2.5% to 5%) to reduce dryness or peeling.
Apply to clean, dry skin once daily, then increase as tolerated.
Moisturize after use to maintain skin hydration.
Avoid contact with hair and fabrics, as benzoyl peroxide can cause bleaching.
