Acne.org Products
I have mild to moderate painful acne on my jaw, chin, and 1 or 2 on my cheek. I wash my face 2 times a day and use %10 benzoyl peroxide 2-3 times on all affected areas. I use face lotion before school, but nothing I do seems to help. Does anyone have an idea on what to do.
10% BP is quite strong. most people recommend using 2.5% or 5%
regardless, IMO using it 2-3 times a day will defiantly cause irritation. there is some debate that BP works just as well when you wash it off after 10mins, which apparently reduces the irritation.
you need to do some research, to help yourself. read up on SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate), caveman regimen, benzoyl peroxide, hormonal acne, what slight changes you need to make to your diet, also search for "cures"... anyway you might find a lot of these products your currently using are not good for your skin type.
use the acne.org search button - just remember what works for one person might not work for you.
