Back in 2019, I suffered from the worst acne I’ve ever had in my life. I think it was the stress of moving, graduating college, and going from a humid to a dry atmosphere. I incorporated a 10% Benzoyl peroxide spot treatment into my skincare routine and it nearly single-handedly cleared up my entire face. It was a godsend for me.
I absolutely LOVE the Cetaphil Gentle Clear one. Not only does it clear up my skin but it leaves my skin feeling so soft, and not at all dry. I think it might be my new favorite cleanser
@@kenziedicken9512I want to get it too! But I’ve never used a Bp cleanser before so I’m a bit confused on how to use it, should i just spread it across my face and just let it sit for 2 minutes or should I be scrubbing? I also wanna know if it can be used as a single cleanser, without having to use another one beforehand.
The cetaphil gentle clear complexion clearing bpo acne cleanser sent me to the ER twice within 48 hours of using it. I had a severe allergic reaction and my throat closed up. My eyes were swollen, I had hives everywhere and according to the other reviews online I’m not the only person who experiences this. Use with caution because I almost died this weekend using it.
Hey yall I just used this and when I tell you. IT WORKS!!! I’m almost in tears. I did put deodorant on so I want to see how well it does throughout the night or if it will start to irritate the skin or if I’ll be musty in the morning! So far so good. I’ll I smell is my deodorant. Most times after exfoliating and re washing my armpits, I can still smell must afterwards. But not tonight. I’m shookith right now!
Hello Dr.Jenny, please let me know your opinion. I use duac gel, and it has changed my skin for the better, I love it. Since it has benzoyl peroxide with clindamycin, can I use it as a life long treatment?
Come and live in the UK and discover that there is just one BP cleanser available thats 5%. No choice of percentage or formulation. Cereve don’t sell theirs over here. Likewise topical. You cannot buy less than 5% in the UK
Hi Dr Jenny, I was wondering, do you think a mild (foaming or cream) Benzoyl Peroxide cleanser would be safe to use on eyelashes and eyelids to treat blepharitis?
i had a pimple coming up from underneath, i used this for 3 days and it went away, never broke through the skin. it was kinda hard on the area though, abit of scaling for a few days after the treatment.
Hi Dr!! I’ve been using the cerave cleanser for a week now and i have tiny bumps on my jaw area. Also i have itchy bumps behind my ears and around my neck. Is that normal? Is it signs or purging or more like allergy reaction/irritation? Thanks 😊
They don't sell the cerave cleanser, hear😢😢😢. This was my perfect cleanser!!! It has everything i need. Hyaluronic acid, Niacinamide, and Benzoyl peroxide! Im gonna diee i swear. Edit: Yeah, i just found out that it's mostly banned in the EU. You can buy it at the pharmacy, but you mostly need a prescription to be able to buy it. But they infact don't have the cerave cleanser hear. So im probably going to go with a salicylic acid product mostly likely going to be the ordinary serum.
I have a question for using PanOxyl for bacne and underarms.. should I clean the areas with soap before using this product because of the oils on my body and the deodorant under my arms.. will the PanOxyl clean those areas good enough? Hopefully this makes sense. I would love to know!
If you're using a cleanser, it is meant to clean and so you don't need to wash beforehand. But if you use the 10% and you want to cleanse beforehand, it is recommended to use a gentle, moisturizing cleanser to avoid possible side effects from the high concentration
Hi Dr. Jenny, I use both the Cerve/Panoxyl with Tretinoin each night. From my understanding after watching the video this isn't good? Should I just use the BP cleanser in morning and a BP free cleanser at night with the Tretinoin? Will that make the Tretinoin effective?
Hi Dr. Jenny, if I use a benzoyl peroxide face wash at night, can I slug that same night? In your videos about slugging, you mentioned not using actives under petrolatum. Is this only applicable to leave on treatments?
hi! I know I’m not the doctor but I use the cerave 4% Benzoyl peroxide and I have oily/acne prone skin. Since I have oily skin, I don’t slug as often but I still do it and my skin comes out really glowing and nice afterwards!
My question is I already use vitamin c in the morning. And my tretenoin at night, so when could I use Benzoyl peroxide? Since you cant mix it with either of those ingredients? Please help. I am breaking out and would like a cleanser with actives since I currently use, Cetafhil gentle cleanser.
In one of her other videos she stated if you're using bp as a cleanser then you're fine but if using it as a spot treatment then alternate use but don't mix
no, benzoyl peroxide does not help with any acne related hyperpigmentation or any hyperpigmentation at all. it is just an antibacterial ingredient that treats active acne and prevents acne from forming. i would recommend azeleic acid and / or retinoids for acne marks. (recommended by doctorly, dr dre, and other dermatologists here on youtube).
Thanks alot Dr but benzoyl peroxide doesn't work on my spot treatment however it does work on acne 0.04 % . Kindly update about affordable acne spot treatment I mean effective bleaching blemish cream .❤❤❤❤❤ I am using retinol 0.05% medicated ❤❤❤❤
yes benzoyl peroxide has been proven to help reduce underarm odor and technically you can apply any acne treatment anywhere on the body not just your face. i have a salicylic acid body wash from ceyaphil that i use on my face because it’s a better value to get the body wash and it’s fragrance free meant for acne 🤷🏻♀️ 😊
I get deep acne that causes redness for several months after. What should I put on it after a deep zit to help the redness go down faster? My skin is normally gets worse with scrubs but does well with silykic scid cleanser during an outbreak. Benzoyl peroxide feels like it helps the inflammation but continues the irritation underneath.

10% is crazy😭 glad it worked for you though 🙏

Did you not do a patch test first?

Been using cetpahil for years it's the best way to go
I use the ageless 10 % Spot treatment and it's 4 dollars it works great for me
PanOxyl’s the best! I have tried expensive ones but nothing beats it. 🎉
Hi! If you don’t mind me asking, do you use the 10% or 4%?
@@victoriaanatalie9821pick 10 percent. I had severe acne, and it cleared up my skin. 🤍
I personally use 4% for the face and 10% for kp in the arm @@victoriaanatalie9821
@@victoriaanatalie9821I use the 4% Pan Oxyl along with Adapalene. It's been a game changer for my adult acne.
