Shaving cream composition for the treatment of acne vulgaris and pseudofolliculitis barbae and method of producing and using same

A method of treating acne vulgaris or pseudofolliculitis barbae in humans, comprising the steps of:

• applying to the skin a brushless, or non-lathering shaving cream composition consisting essentially of in percent by weight:
• about 4 to 10% of a lubricant;
• about 10 to 25% of a binder;
• about 0 to 1% of a gelling or thickening agent;
• about 50 to 65% of deionized water;
• about 2 to about 10% of a humectant;
• about 0 to about 0.5% of a preservative;
• about 0 to about 5% of a emollient;
• about 1 to about 5% of a neutralizer;
• about 0 to about 5% of a surfactant;
• and
• about 0.25 to about 50% of benzoyl peroxide;
• and
• removing the brushless, or non-lathering shaving cream by shaving with a straight-edge razor.
