Oxy is a skin care product line developed to treat acne-prone skin. Oxy Maximum Vanishing Spot Treatment is a cream that is applied to blemishes and blemish-prone areas of the face to help clear and prevent acne.

Features

Oxy Maximum Vanishing Spot Treatment features 10 percent benzoyl peroxide, which helps kill the bacteria that causes acne, unclog pores and absorb oil. The treatment is clinically proven to kill bacteria in 24 hours, according to Oxy. Oxy Maximum Vanishing Spot Treatment is white when first applied to skin, then dries to a clear finish.

Application

Oxy Maximum Vanishing Spot Treatment should be applied one to three times daily, depending on severity of acne breakout. Cleanse skin thoroughly before applying the treatment.

Considerations

Benzoyl peroxide can produce several side effects, including peeling, dryness, redness, stinging and skin swelling. The ingredient can also bleach fabric and skin. Start with one application daily, and then work up to three times daily, if needed.

Wear sunscreen when spending time outdoors, as benzoyl peroxide causes sensitivity to the sun.
