What’s the Difference - Triaz

March 16th, 2006

Another member of the topical benzoyl peroxide family is the Triaz line-up which includes gels, pads, and cleansers. These come in multpile strengths including 3%, 6% and 9%.

What sets Triaz apart from the other benzoyl peroxides is it’s “other” ingredients. Triaz contains glycolic acid which helps with exfoliation of the skin. In addition, it contains glycerin which can help the product be more moisturizing. Finally, Triaz contains an ingredient that allows the benzoyl peroxide to penetrate more effectively causing less of the medication to remain on the skin and thus decreasing overall irritation.

As already mentioned, Triaz also comes in a pad that adds to convenience of use. A recent study showed that it can be used effectively with topical retinoids like Differn and Retin-a by placing the gels or creams on the pad and then using both together.

So, there are several things that set Triaz apart from its generic “equivalent.”
