Benzoyl Peroxide Review

Benzoyl Peroxide

Benzoyl Peroxide is one of the most common ingredients in topical acne treatments, whether spot treatments or scrubs. It opens the pores, allowing the skin to breathe in more oxygen and create a hostile environment for bacteria. It also helps the skin to rid itself of excess dead skin cells, which in and of themselves clog pores.

The main problem with benzoyl peroxide is that once you start using, you cannot stop. Regardless of the current condition of the skin, users must keep up with the regimen, because should there be a lapse in treatment, bacteria and acne are likely to skyrocket. It has also been known to cause dry, itchy skin as well as redness, flaking, and burning. The dependency factor may be the reason why so many products actually use this ingredient. Not only does it work, but it also keeps people using their product for an extended period of time.

Well i've tried it for like 3 or 4 weeks straight when i got up and when i went to bed and i got no results, nothing good and nothing bad. i went to the doc. and he gave me a Benzoyl Peroxide wash solution and it didn't work on me. not to say that it won't work on you, or ot has'nt worked on you but it's not a very good acne cure and i still have acne! on my forehead, chest, and back! i just can't get rid of it if you have any solutions e-mail me at gogamecocks_852@yahoo.com , Thanks alot, Jenn :)
