Started on 5% going on 2.5%

[AlexQ 0]

Hey guys,

I've been exeperiencing great results with 5% PanOxyl but there is one problem though, my skin gets very red on the cheeks and they are uneven redness throughout. So I was wondering whether 2.5% BP would help reduce the redness?

Also, should I moisterize at night? I only do that in the morning.

EDIT: I've been on 5% BP for about 2 months now

2.5% BP is just as effective as the higher percentages without being as irritating, so there's a good chance that switching could help.

And if your skin is dry, you should moisturize. Some people only need to moisturize once a day, so you'll need to use your best judgment on that one.

I once used Oxy 10 (10% BP) in liberal amounts, and I got the worst burn ever!
