Abstract
Two separate compositions, one containing an antibiotic and one containing benzoyl peroxide are packaged within and dispensed from a common dispenser. More particularly, a dual dispenser contains i) a first composition that is substantially anhydrous and includes a polar solvent, an antibiotic and a thickening agent selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid polymers and polyacrylamides; and ii) a second composition containing benzoyl peroxide or, alternatively, a retinoid. By packaging these two anti-acne active ingredients in this manner, long shelflife and convenient dispensing and application are provided.
