This video gave me a relief! I’ve been using Cerave’s Benzoyl Peroxide Foaming Cleanser morning and night to cleanse, and then I apply Cerave’s Acne Control Gel (Which is Salycilic acid) and Cerave’s Retinol Resurfacing Serum on alternating nights! It always made me worry if I’m mixing those ingredients at all which explained from this video and other sites that I’ve read that it is wrong to do that, but after watching this video, it confirmed me that what I’m doing is alright (hopefully) since my Benzoyl Peroxide is a cleanser which I rinse with water and is removed before applying the other leave-on active ingredients I use which are Salycilic Acid and Retinol on alternating nights.

Hiya, Thanks for the tips ❤ I just wondered - if I’m using the epiduo gel which contains benzoyl (2.5%) peroxide and retinoid ( 0.1%) I use it at night. Is it good to use a cleanser with benzoyl peroxide instead some nights or use both for best results or would that be to much?

@TikerrahYoung Жыл бұрын

I would love a video that tells you additional products to use while on benzoyl wash, tretonin, and clindamycin. My dermatologist in the Navy seem to avoid my questions when I ask what else can I use in conjunction with all these (i.e. serums, type of moisturizer, apply tree before or after moisturizer)

BPO is formulated with topical retinoid (adapalene) in a prescription medicine called Epiduo Forte. How does it work then?
