Hi all, I am in doubt and need some advice.
I wash my face with panoxyl 4% every night, and the next morning I use cetaphil gentle skin cleanser. Is it ok if I going out without applying sunscreen? Coz I think that the effect of the benzoyl peroxide has disappeared overnight.
Thx.

Generally speaking, it's a good idea to have sunscreen on during spring/summer/fall months if you will be outside for any length of time from 10-3 or so. Products that make you more sensitive to the sun don't just do that when you are wearing them. They can do that after you wash them off too. While benzoyl peroxide isn't a big one when it comes to sun sensitivity, it can make you a bit more sensitive.
