Hi allzz..
I am 20 years old and I am a Male, From India.
I got acne breakout first time and I tried many products but I didn't got any noticable results. So I started using Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% (Benzac) on 9th december 2012, all my acne are magically gone, all pimples dried up, just their brown spots are there which will heal slowly.
I am using this twice a day.
But I want to know about 1 thing, People says that their skin get's dry, itches, or starts peeling, But it didn't happened with me yet, My skin is absolutely normal now, No Dryness, No peeling, no redness.. I just feel little itching after applying it for about 20-25 minutes then nothing.
So I want to know is this okay or should I increase to 5% ?
Also tell me how much time does 2.5% takes to give us perfect, smooth and clear skin ?
Thank You So much for reading and helping.
I am from india too.
2.5% is fine . Use moisturizer after BP dries up.
In my case, breakouts kept happening when i stopped BP. So BP became part of my life for 2-3 years. It helped prevent new breakouts and i was totally dependent on it every day and night.
Your mileage might vary.
is it even working or not ?
