HI guys! About a week ago I started using Benzoyl peroxide 10% and I applied it once a day. I have sensitive skin dry skin and it never burned me. Three days ago I got carried away and applied it about 10 times in one day. I just really wanted faster results. After that my face stung me so bad it was ridiculous! I went to sleep and woke up with a swollen face. Now my question is, should I use this product after my face is back to normal and just use it once a day or once every few days? Or should I never use this product again?I love skin care and I am very sad to see my skin so puffy and swollen. Please help! 🙁 - Thanks for reading or answering! xoxo

Yikes! Thanks for posting this as a warning.

You should be able to go back to it once your skin is back to normal. But start slowly, just once a day, and a small amount. Ramp it up over time.

If you experienced bad swelling (not sure if you did or not), it might be a good idea to test just a bit on your jawline for a couple of days before you put it everywhere again.
