worried about the p. acne bacteria, please help - (Feb/22/2011 )
I suffer from acne and concerned about the p. acne bacteria
I want to know if they can multiply inside my acne cream and facial creams,
what are the speicific conditions where they multiply?
are there any good sources for this?

No the bacteria wont grow in it. Those (anti acne) gels contain hydrogen peroxide or benzoic acid or another anti-bacterial compount.
+ those gels just dont contain the substances needed by bacteria to survive (no food for the bacteria).
About facial creams in general: what creams do you mean?

Mousterizers and such

As pito said - all these products include effective antimicribial ingredients - if nothing else preservatives.
