Im currently on acne medication, and it has worked wonders on my skin. However, occasionally after applying moisturizer my face burns and I dont know why. My skin does doesnt always do this though. Most of the time my skin doesnt burn, but I go through these weeks where my skin burns after applying it. Im assuming my face burns because of the chemical reaction between the moisturizer and the acne medication, but Im worried because my skin only burns on occasion. I dont know whats wrong and I hope I can get some help.
ymmv but while benzoyl peroxide works well to treat acne it at the same time makes your face very sensitive, dry, and irritated. If your moisturizer has been working fine before but all of a sudden burns, it probably means that your skin is super dry, irritated and sensitive. Cut back on the benzoyl peroxide for a few days and pamper your skin a little bit. Let it rest.
