Hello everyone
I am not sure if this topic was already started but I couldn't find one myself, so apologies if there is one already.
My question is about how to get off the BP correctly? I have been using it for a couple of weeks now and my skin is clear so i want to stop using it but i am not sure how I should do it so that i don't get anymore breakouts?
Thank you!
Keep in mind that benzoyl peroxide is not a cure. The Regimen is a way to manage acne prone skin on a daily basis and it only works while you continue to use it. If you stop once you are clear, there is a chance that your acne could return. Please read here: http://www.acne.org/faq.html#keepusing
If you are still determined to stop using it, I would suggest a gradual approach to discontinuing. Just as we suggest a gradual approach to starting it, I would also ease off gradually when discontinuing it rather than cold turkey.
