Hello all,

I hope everyone's hanging in there. I'm trying! Acne is so frustrating!

Anyway, I just have a question.

My daily regimen is the following: Cetaphil Daily Facial Wash, 2.5% benzoyl peroxide and Epiduo. I take doxycycline by mouth.

According to The Regimen, I'm supposed to leave the benzoyl peroxide on my face after I clean it with the Cetaphil Daily Face Wash. I usually wash it off.

Here's my question: I'm supposed to apply Epiduo after I wash my face with the 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. Is it OK to apply the Epiduo after allowing BP to absorb into my face? Will it cause the Epiduo to be less effective?
