Benzoyl peroxide is a popular ingredient for those managing acne prone skin, but it’s not always suitable for everyone. Many find it too harsh, leading to dryness, redness, and irritation. The good news? There are effective, natural alternatives that care for your skin while reducing breakouts.

Why Some Avoid Benzoyl Peroxide

Benzoyl peroxide works by reducing acne-causing bacteria and unclogging pores, but it is harsh and so can:

• Overdry or irritate sensitive skin.

• Cause redness, flaking, or a stinging sensation.

• Be unsuitable for hormonal or pregnancy-related breakouts and blemishes.

Natural Alternatives to Benzoyl Peroxide

For those looking for gentler options, natural bioactives offer effective care for acne-prone skin:

1. Tea Tree Oil

Known for its antibacterial properties, tea tree oil is a natural way to fight acne-causing bacteria.

2. Manuka Honey

This New Zealand treasure is prized for its ability to soothe irritation and is highly antibacterial.

3. Witch Hazel

A natural astringent, witch hazel tones and refreshes while reducing oil and calming irritation.
