Q: Is benzoyl peroxide safe? Does it cause cancer?
A: A quote from "Acne and Rosacea: Third Completely Revised and Updated Edition", 2000: "Following application to the skin, benzoyl peroxide is rapidly metabolized to benzoic acid, a harmless chemical. Extensive use in human beings has failed to demonstrate absorption. The drug is eminently safe."
