Benzoyl peroxide usually takes about 4 weeks to start working.

It can take up to 2 to 4 months for the treatment to have its full effect.

Hi,

Just a question to help me. I've been using the benzoyl peroxide for 2 weeks now. However, my skin is breaking out literally with an new pimple everyday. More than it did before.

 

Also, when I apply the benzoyl peroxide after washing my face, I experience a sort of tiny stinging sensation for about 3 to 5 seconds then it goes. The kind of sensation you may feel of you put salt on broken skin.

 

Are these occurrences normal?
