Basiron AS, gel 2.5% 40 g

Baziron AC has high antimicrobial activity against Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis, has a comedolytic and anti-inflammatory effect, improves tissue oxygenation, suppresses sebum production in sebaceous glands, absorbs excess sebum and moisturizes the skin.

In in vivo studies on culture results, it has been shown to suppress Propionibacterium acnes culture growth by 94% by day 7 and 97-99% by day 15.

The anti-inflammatory effect of benzoyl peroxide is based on the inactivation of free radicals in the focus of inflammation and inhibition of free fatty acids.

The base of the product is an acrylate copolymer/glycerol complex to ensure controlled adsorption of excess sebum and the gradual release of glycerol to soften and moisturize the skin.

Pharmacokinetics

The penetration of benzoyl peroxide through the skin is low. Most of the benzoyl peroxide is converted to benzoic acid, which after absorption enters the systemic bloodstream and is rapidly excreted by the kidneys.

There is no cumulation in the tissues. Topical application of Basiron AS in therapeutic doses does not lead to adverse systemic effects.
