I've been using benzoyl peroxide 10% for 3 days now, applying once a day. But when i woke up the next morning my face was really red and dry. It almost feels like I'm wearing a mask because of how dry it is. How do I reduce the redness and dry skin?

I use BP 2.5 % and that is very drying so think about what 10% will do. Try using 2.5% it doesn't cause redness just makes the face dry but not so dry and one more thing. DO NOT FORGET TO MOISTURIZE after applying BP.

If you still have problems after trying a 2.5% BP you could have a look at epiology used on its own or as a moisturiser to follow a BP treatment and it should make a difference to your redness and dryness. Good luck 🙂
