Cancer-causing chemical in acne products discovered

This discovery was made after tests showed that when these products are treated at high temperatures for a long time, they can produce high levels of benzene.

The petition sent to the US Food and Drug Administration, Valisure Independent Laboratory, requests the recall and suspension of the sale of products containing benzoyl peroxide.

The US Food and Drug Administration is reviewing the request and will provide a response. This announcement comes after Valisure has previously detected benzene in other products, raising concerns about the safety and quality of products used on a daily basis.
