Zoderm - What’s the difference?

When it comes to topical benzoyl peroxides, there are plenty of brands and generics to choose from. One of the newer benzoyl peroxide containing products is Zoderm.

Zoderm is available in a gel, cream, cleanser, and pad in both 4.5% and 8.5% strengths. What is unique to Zoderm is that it includes urea. By adding urea, acne treatment gets an extra boost from this humectant. The urea helps to gently exfoliate the skin while hanging on to moisture as well. This makes the formulation more gentle and even moisturizing.

Zoderm is used often times in people with more sensitive skin. It differs from the generic substitute greatly in tolerance and this may justify getting the branded version.
