It is characterized by the presence of open mixtures of polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400) and water and/or closed comedones, of microcysts, but also of red pap (Chellquist E. M. and Gorman W.

Thus, to limit the problem of rapid instability of benzoyl peroxide in solution, it has been found to be advan tageous to formulate benzoyl peroxide in dispersed form. (I) 0029. Another difficulty to be overcome in the formulation of a composition comprising both a retinoid, an anti-irritant and benzoyl peroxide is that most retinoids are particularly OH sensitive to natural oxidation, to visible light and to ultraviolet radiation. Since benzoyl peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent, the chemical compatibility of these compounds in the same formulation presents many problems of stability from the physical and chemical point of view. 0030. In addition, it has been reported that benzoyl perox ide can sometimes induce dryness of the skin and on certain occasions irritation of the skin. 0031. Among the retinoids commonly employed, ada palene in particular, exhibits a unanimously proven effective ness. However, it would be advantageous and useful to reduce the irritation caused by retinoids applied topically, including wherein R is a hydrogenatom, a hydroxyl radical, a branched adapalene, although its tolerance is greater than that of its or unbranched alkyl radical having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, competitors belonging to the same chemical category (tretin an alkoxy radical having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms or a oin, tazarotene). cycloaliphatic radical which is substituted or unsubstituted, at 0032.
