Last night, I applied Spectro Gel (includedbenzoyl peroxide in it) to a couple pimples last night. I only applied a small amount and slept with it on. I washed it off this morning and noticed where I applied it- it is now red around the pimples and just on my skin. I am really scared because I am hoping this redness isn't permanent because right now it's pretty prominent. Can someone tell me if my skin will stay red forever, or if I ruined my skin! Or will it eventually go away if I stop using it! :((
Hiya, first of all dont apply anymore benzoyl peroxide untill the redness has completely gone. The redness may just be because your skin is getting use to it. You can apply plain yogurt as a face mask or just spot treat and it will help calm down the redness, also make sure you are using a thick / deep moisturiser for your skin.
hope your skin is better soon!
