It lacks the side effects that make many stay away from benzoyl peroxide. In addition,this oil can naturally keep the skin healthy. It does not irritate the skin, make it red, nor cause it to peel like other acne treatments do; ideal if you have both acne and sensitive skin that reacts badly to the introduction of harsh chemicals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBecause it is antiviral, antibiotic, and anti-fungal, it is one of the best natural substances for cuts, scraps, and even underlying photo-aging.
