Benzoyl Peroxide Gone Bad?

Hi quick question-

I'm traveling right now and I think I may have left the cap to my benzoyl peroxide tube open for a night. Last night when I opened it it was really hard to squeeze out- whereas its usually very easy and liquid-y, this time it was kind of thicker. Did I ruin the benzoyl peroxide? Is it no longer effective if the cap was left open for a bit? I just don't know if it's ok to keep applying it to my face now or if it's doing anything at all- and I'm kind of frustrated because there's still a lot of it left and I don't want to have to buy another one now- also I don't want to wait for it to ship and then miss lots of days of the regimen. Please help. Thank you!

Hi amk62,

The Acne.org Treatment should be still safe to use within 6 months of the bottle being opened to open air however for you safety, we would suggest that you conduct a patch test on your skin by only applying a small amount on one area of your skin. If you don't experience any negative side effects, then you may continue using the Acne.org Treatment.
