I don't think so; as long as the moisturizer is non-comodegenic. The regimen I use says to wait 5-15 minutes from when you apply the BP to when you apply the moisturizer though...let it fully soak in...

When I first started benzoyl peroxide, I had the same problem (flaky dry skin). I would recommend CeraVe (night time moisturizer is better than the day time one), Eucerin or Rodan and Fields Soothe ...

Aww I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this! Do you find what you're doing currently is helping at all? I would highly recommend Rodan + Fields Unblemish line or Pro-Activ. I have cystic acne and...

It's hard to say exactly what it is, without seeing a dermatologist or at least a general practitioner...Definitely could be rosacea or just irritation from previous and past acne. I'm no doctor, but...

If you're open to trying the birth control pill, that helped a lot for me. What acne products/treatments have you used? Have you used Proactiv or Rodan and Fields Unblemish?

My friend actually ran into this same problem. She went to the doctor to see what the heck was going on and the only thing they could suggest was an allergic reaction to something. I'm a consultant f...

I sent you a message. Hope I can help!

Honestly...I wouldn't try anything not made or recommended by a dermatologist. It may work for some people, but most people with serious acne problems require prescription strength products. To try t...

Have you tried the acne.org regimen? Like the other posters have said, it sounds hormonal. I had very oily skin with cystic acne...thanks to birth control (which it sounds like you won't be able to ...

Unfortunately acne is not a quick fix...I'm 5 months in and it took me about 3-4 months to see noticeable changes.

Aww I'm so sorry you're going through this.  I feel like you're speaking about me 6 months ago. I wouldn't leave the house without a full face of foundation and concealer.  I s...

Give it a try! Your doctor obviously weighed the pros and cons and deemed it would beneficial to you. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work - but if your doctor thought it was going to be truly harmful,...

Don't quote me on it, but I think all skin types can use it. If you have sensitive skin, I would advise just using a smaller amount of benzoyl peroxide.

Is your skin irritated, burning, hot to the touch? If so, I would stop using it - give your skin a break for 2-3 days. I ran into this issue too. I was afraid to stop using in fear of breaking out, b...

Yes, I highly recommend Proactiv! The doctors who created this also make a new line called Unblemish (Rodan and Fields) which works amazing too. Proactiv and Rodan and Fields are the only 2 product...

Is there any chance it could be your shampoo? I remember when I was younger, I used Garnier Fructis (or whatever it's called) and from it running down the side of my face/near my forehead, it caused ...

Agreed with the post above. Doesn't quite look like acne. Maybe milia? I had mila on my skin from a certain product I was using - just had to back off for a few days and it went away.

First of all, I'm really sorry you're having to deal with this.  Not only does acne affect your self esteem, but cystic acne is PAINFUL.  I've suffered from it since I was a te...

Definitely cut back to washing your face 2x a day. 3x a day is too much, even with oily skin. Washing your face too much can dry it out - when it's dry, your skin over compensates and produces more ...

Cerave is really gentle

You tried ProActiv or Rodan and Fields? Only 2 products that have ever worked for me. Let me know if you have any questions!

I have not tried Accutane - that was my very last resort. Fortunately Rodan and Fields has cleared up my acne in 5 months, so hopefully I won't have to go that route!
