Hello,

I've used BP for a while and something new just happened, I'm red as I could be, it looks like I have a massive sunburn

My story with BP: I used epiduo and my skin got VERY red, and dry and ugly, so I had to stop after two months. Then I used Clindoxyl (Clindamycin 1%, Benzoyl peroxide 5%) and it worked like a charm! My skin was gorgeous, I barely got cysts and had no small pimples!

Then my Clindoxyl expired, when I still had like half of the product, I didn't notice so I kept using it (I know, awful mistake), after a few months, my skin got VERY red and itchy, I had to stop using the product for real. Then I didn't use any BP products for about 4 months.

Now, my acne is almost fine, but for two cysts and some tiny pimples, I got a Benzoyl Peroxide gel (3%) and put it on overnight, all my small pimples are gone (yes, that fast) and my cysts are significantly smaller than yesterday

but I AM SO RED I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

it looks like I sunburned, I feel a bit itchy, and my skin is super dry... I've used BP before without getting this reaction, what is going on? am I allergic?

I'm attaching a picture, here, because of the lightening, looks a bit pink and mild, but it is more red in real life, I couldn't get a perfect photo, sorry
