Treat Acne Where It Starts

The CLENZIderm M.D. Systems are the only prescription-strength acne treatments that contain a patented form of 5% benzoyl peroxide (BPO) to penetrate deep into the skin follicle for effective P. acnes bacteria reduction and rapid lesion reduction.*
 
*Postered at the 2007 Annual American Academy of Dermatology Meeting.

The CLENZIderm M.D. Systems demonstrate greater penetration than other BPO-based treatments.
