Pharmacological properties
Oxyderm is a topical antiseptic and keratolytic agent for animal skin care, contains benzoyl peroxide.

Benzoyl peroxide has antiseptic and keratolytic properties, inhibits (as a result of the release of oxygen) the development of gram-positive bacteria: Propionibacterium, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and the like. It has a keratolytic effect, improves tissue oxygenation, ulcer granulation process. Reduces the formation of fat by the sebaceous glands of the skin. Benzoyl peroxide, unlike antibiotics, directly affects bacteria – when it enters the sebaceous hair follicle, benzoyl peroxide is metabolized to form benzoic acid with the release of oxygen, a high concentration of which leads to the death of anaerobic bacteria, including those resistant to antibiotics. Antimicrobial action in combination with an anti-inflammatory effect leads to a rapid decrease in papulopustular lesions. Unlike antibiotics, the use of benzoyl peroxide does not induce resistance in bacteria. Benzoyl peroxide is also effective in the treatment of open and closed comedones due to its keratolytic and comedolytic action.

Pharmacokinetics
The gel penetrates the skin where it turns into benzoic acid.
