Hey guys! How are you all doing?
This is my first post here. I've been battling moderate acne for quite a while (5 years), i'm 19 now.
I've tried all sorts of topicals and antibiotics, and I've noticed that Benzoyl Peroxide worked quite well for me. After having used it for a few months,I was 75%clear with the occasional few pimplesevery now and then, but I had flaky skin and I believed thatBPwas trapping my oils. I decided to stop using it and look for natural cures. Green tea helped reduce it, but i didnt find a good enough solution. RetinA did a good job too as well, but made my face flaky and red.
Long story short, I am thinking about going back to BP (5%). But I don't want to keep using it for the rest of my life. My question is: If I use BP, will I reach a point where the acne naturally stops, and thus i can stop using it, OR does using BP makemy face prone to acne and dependant on it (BP)for as long as I use it?
Thanks

Yes, odds are your acne will stop naturally and you'll be able to stop using BP. And no,BP will not make your face prone to acne or dependent on BP. BP stifles acne symptoms until acne resolves naturally on its own. When acne resolves naturally, you won't need BP to stay clear. Hope this helps! 🙂
