I usually apply moisturizer in the morning and benzoyl peroxide at night. I was thinking of using BP both in the morning n at night. So can i apply moisturizer on BP ? if yes, after how much time ?

I would wait 10-15 minutes so the BP is completely dry.

You can apply both BP and Moisturizer at both night and before you go to bed.

For a bit of guidance here is my personal regimen as a guideline___________

Morning

-Cleanse face lightly with 'Simple' gel wash whilst i'm in the shower

-Lightly pat face dry, then once my face is completely dry ... I then apply the BP [Full index fingers length]. Apply this evenly and gently, it's all about being as gentle as possible [Less irritation means less acne =) ]

-Once your BP has now completely dried [i like to go off and do others things round the house to occupy me whilst this drying process happens] you can now apply your moisturizer [i recently started using 'Garnier' aloe vera 24hr body lotion] it works fantastic at hydrating and soothes redness that you'll get from the BP.

Bedtime

EXACTLY THE SAME AS MORNING

Any other questions just =)
