You’re Using Benzoyl Peroxide WRONG ❌

  • People say benzoyl peroxide is 'too irritating': it's because we often use WAY too much of it! When it comes to retinoids, we all know it should be a 'pea-sized amount'. But with benzoyl peroxide I see people using it like it's a moisturizer!
    Here's how to use it safely for your acne.

    I loved benzoyl peroxide. It was the only thing that worked for my acne growing up. Ever since I have face eczema I avoid that now. I don’t really miss it either since it dyed/bleached my towels, cloths, pillow cases, shirts, and a little bit of my hair.

    I have used a high amount of 10% gel like a facewash, leaving on for only a few minutes. I'm not even sure that has helped me at all, maybe just a bit. Sometimes I left it on my face for a few hours and was left with black spots that stayed for months. Good to know this.
    I use sunscreen, not really sure if it would be better to use the facewash or to mix benzoyl with the sunscreen. I use tretinoin before sleeping too.

    • @Nameless-st3vt

      I use the same technique because after a month following the recommended application techniques it wasn't working. Now Works for me though.. an hour or 2 application. overnight application. No black spots but rather a coolness on my face as though its at peace. I don't know if its because my skin is dark coloured that's why. But I am extremely careful exposing my skin to the sun. Only side effect i noticed is, its readily absorbed expecially into glands so sometimes my tear glands irritate my eyes and sometimes could have that in my mouth

      @motorologist 8 місяців тому

      Probably, tretinoin would likely to be fine too (though you have to use even less than benzoyl). I used benzoyl peroxide when I was even younger with no harmful effects other than some spots that took months to go away, but that could have been avoided by listening to this dermatologist's advice. I don't get those spots anymore. Accutane should be avoided at all costs though, because it can severely harm how your body functions.
