Benzoyl Peroxide Products Recall

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo Dual Action Acne Treatment

If you have been treating your acne with products containing benzoyl peroxide, FDA has just recalled a small number of products containing benzoyl peroxide due to possible benzene contamination. Benzene is a chemical that may increase the risk of cancer but scientists claim that even with daily use of these products for decades, the risk of a person developing cancer is very low.
