Might not need full measurement of BP?

Hello there,

I guess I'll start by saying I'm 25 and I've had acne since I was 13. Throughout my teens I used/tried everything but to no avail. It wasn't until my 20's that I gave up and just embraced my skin and it's imperfections (no makeup!!). Then I found acne.org and figured there was no harm in trying one last thing. So imagine my surprise when 4 days into the regimen and I'm already pimple free! It's a modern day miracle!

Here's where I disclose that my acne is nowhere near severe. A few blackheads, yes, whiteheads, yes, not forgetting the monthly lumps and bumps. However, without fail they'll scar. A few days into the treatment and all I'm left with are the scars. Being week 1 I'm using the recommended amount of Benzoyl Peroxide once a day.

So my question is: Do I still need to increase the dose of BP if I'm already acne free?
OR do I continue to use this starter amount knowing that it's suggested to return to this amount once acne free?
Quite the conundrum.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

My story is very similar. Im almost at two months and still on use the starter dose sometimes i use just a tad bit more but i dnt use a whole fingers length. I tried using that much once and it burn my skin and left lil scars on my cheeks. Besides using that much will not absorb into the skin it will just dry up.
