title: [Open, controlled multicenter trial of 2 benzoyl peroxide preparations in the treatment of acne vulgaris].
abstract: In an open multicenter study, 109 patients with acne vulgaris were treated with Cordes Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO) 3%, 5%, and 10%, or a reference preparation. With few exceptions, both preparations resulted in a good therapeutic outcome. Cordes BPO 5% and 10% were significantly better tolerated than the reference preparation. The efficacy of topical treatment with benzoyl peroxide depends largely on the patient's acceptance of this preparation; good tolerance leads to good compliance.
