Hi everyone,
I've been a reader of this forum for months now but finally just made an account since I ordered the regimen and should receive it this week. I just have a question about the 2.5% BP that I hope someone can help me with!
I've been using Benzagel 5, which is just a 5% benzoyl peroxide gel, for about 1.5 months now. My skin was irritated at first but has now got used to the BP and it does not irritate me at all. When I start the regime, should I still slowly increase my amount of the 2.5% BP as recommended for newbies or can I just use the full amount since BP doesn't irritate my skin anymore?
The Benzagel has helped my skin but I'm still searching for the perfect face wash and moisturizer, so that's why I decided to try the regimen.
18 minutes ago, Control Panel said:Hi. I'm not sure if Benzagel contains pharmaceutical-grade BP. I know that the Acne.org one does, so your skin might need to adjust to a higher grade of BP if that's the case. I'd see how my skin reacted with half of the full dose for a few days, and begin using whatever amount you desire if you don't have any problems. If you experience issues, you should work your way up.
Thank you!
