benzoyl peroxide acne treatment - #28782
I am struggling a lot with acne and I’ve been hearing about this benzoyl peroxide acne treatment everywhere. Like, my friends swear by it, but I’m also seeing mixed reviews online. One of them actually cleared up their breakouts in just a few weeks, but I tried using it a couple months ago and my skin got super dry and irritated. I wasn’t using it correctly or maybe I didn’t use enough moisture after or something. I also read somewhere that benzoyl peroxide acne treatment can bleach fabrics, which freaks me out. I mean, my favorite pillowcases are white! I thought I was doing everything right — cleansing, toning — and I even changed my pillowcases more often. Still, the cystic acne just kept coming back, and I felt kinda hopeless after trying it for a bit. Do you really have to start slow with benzoyl peroxide acne treatment? Like, how slow is slow? Should I mix it with other products? I don’t wanna make it worse, but I feel like I need to try again. Any tips on how to use it without ruining my skin would be awesome! Thanks, everyone!!!
