Some La Roche-Posay, Proactiv and Walgreens acne treatments recalled due to benzene levels
U.S. health officials are asking retailers to pull a small number of acne creams from their store shelves after government testing found they contain slightly elevated levels of a chemical associated with cancer.
The FDA tested 95 products containing benzoyl peroxide, an ingredient widely used to treat acne that can form benzene as a byproduct. It found that six products could have more benzene than usual.
Some popular acne creams are being recalled because the product may contain elevated levels of benzene, a chemical that causes cancer, the FDA said.
