How so clear explanation, thank you for this information dr. Sam🤗

Benzoyl peroxide usually takes about 4 weeks to start working. It can take up to 2 to 4 months for the treatment to have its full effect. 👍

Love your videos!! Greetings from Los Angeles

I use a benzoyl peroxide soap and my life has changed ever since I started

Benzoyl peroxide cleared up all the hormonal acne I had around my chin! Can’t live with out it!

I have just started using the Flawless Nightly Serum (game changer 😍) and have the Flawless Brightly Serum on the way. Would it be ok to still use Acnecide with the Brightly in the day or do they not play well together?

I’m from the UK and use a prescription benzoyl peroxide/adapalene gel called Epiduo in conjunction with Lymecycline. At the moment I feel like I am playing “whack a mole” with my acne as I get rid of one and five pop up in it’s place. It’s quite frustrating.

Hi Dr Sam, Can i use a vitamin C serum after using a benzoyl peroxide face wash. Thank you for the constant education

Very informative. Will benzoyl peroxide help in reducing my chicken pox marks? If not which active is the best treatment? Thanks!

Hello Dr. Sam.. Could you please make a video about how to reduce/fade acne marks? Thank you!

Benzoyl peroxide did clear up some acne I had as a teen but I was allergic or had a reaction to it. Made my skin really itchy so I stopped using, but it does work.

I was prescribed doxycycline and BP in a cream. Should I apply it all over the face or just the acne itself? Also, is it ok to use 2 times a day? And which step it will go, before or after toner?

Dear Dr. Sam.. I've heared that benzoyl Peroxide as it causes frr radicals.. It would leave PIH for darker skin tones!! What do you think about that please?!

thank you, I love it the information.

I started using acnecide 5% gel cream last week every 2nd night to clear up hormonal acne along my jaw and a couple of spots on my neck. However, 2 days ago I woke up with itchy skin on my neck and this morning it turned into a red rash all over my neck, looks like hives. I'm going to take an anti histamine but why is advised against using on your neck? I'm going to persist for the recommended 4-8 weeks. I'll ease into it by washing it off for the first week and then going up to twice a week, but can't find any information on why you are to avoid the neck area, as that's where most of my breakouts are.

Hi! I’m May from Philippines, I am currently suffering acne breakout in my face and neck. Can I use retinoid on my neck? Please help me. 🥺

I like the Cerave benzyl peroxide face wash, it is very gentle.

Hey I've been using it from 1 month ( as a gel ). My face is almost clear and i am not getting any new pimples. But there are bit of scars like up n down bumps on cheeks. How long should i keep using BP? Will it make my skin smooth and get rid of those scars as well? Plz answer this ASAP

Do you recommend ZO skin health for dry acne prone skin? I’m so confused as they have fragrance (parfum) in!!!??!!!

I have bp gel 5% and during Lockdown I used it and I would mix it with some other gel that was supposed to clear my skin and I would just apply it to my face without washing it first. I would leave it on for about 6 hours and then wash my face and let my face dry on its on own and not even apply moisturizer. I used many things then like the lemon and honey mask.It made my skin itch, dry, red, swollen and burn and then I stopped using it. Should I use the bp gel 5% again ? PS:I have oily skin and acne

It really hepled me in reducing my acne🥰 I first started using it every other day, like alternately for weeks and now im using it everyday, It's like slowly introducing a product to my skin so that it wont get irritated or be "shocked" by it. and now im using it everyday, there are also days that I dont use any products in my skin to let it rest and breathe lol (omg I hope u understand my point hahaha english is not my 1st languang sorry) now I only have few acnes left and currently have acne scars(pih) but its not that bad🥰

Please, anyone know if I can use ordinary peeling solutions and benzoyl peroxide gel in the same routine, not same day... But can I use both at the same time?? Please it would be helpful if you know and reply...

I always enjoy your advice Dr. Sam. Thank you for sharing!! I just started using this a few weeks ago (Persa Gel) mixed with Monistat 7 as per Lisa’s advice from Peaches Skin Care. I’m feeling positive about the effects I’ve seen.

It absolutely does bleach fabric! I can attest to that for sure! Towels an bedsheets in my experience becase I only apply it at night, but it never bleached my hair

I have been using benzoyl peroxide for about 2 weeks and i find it irritating and skin bumps on the applied area ... should i continue using it ??? Please help me i'm worried 😟

Can we use tretinoin and benzoyl peroxide at the same time?

What about azelaic acid, i heard is very good

Hi Sam, thanks so much for all of your expertise and wonderful information around skincare. I really enjoy your content and your Dr Sam's products! I just wanted to ask...does Benzoyl Peroxide need to be used on a daily basis or can it be used less frequently and still be effective at fighting acne? I haven't been able to find an answer to this anywhere. Xx

I think my epiduo 2.5% is not working anymore, not sure if it's the bacterial resistance or maybe I just need stronger dose.

Hi, what do you think about clyndamicine , which one IS better benzoyle peroxide or clyndamicine? Like zanea creme

Hi doc, can I mix benzoyl peroxide with moisturozer and then apply it to all over my face?

i would have liked to see how you use it

Dr Sam, Can you please do a video about clindamycin and how effective is it?

is a wash off form as effective as a leave on?

Can BP be used alongside azelaic acid? I am on 20% azelaic acid twice day for my acne but am still getting pustules 😫. Thinking to reintroduce BP. I use to use duac but i know not safe in pregnancy. X

But do you wash the Acne Medication 5 after applying it to ur face or do u keep it on I don't know

I still have towels to prove how well it bleaches fabric!

Can you please suggest any cream for clear skin or tanning

Can bp 5%be used all over the face or just as spot treatment ?

after applying it my skin started burning for some time is it normal mam

Mam I am 14 years old and I had pimples can I use this benzoyl peroxide 2.5 percent?

Benzoyl peroxide removes pimples but not their scars which were left by pimples 😒😔😔

Can i use benzoyl peroxide 5% everyday and how many weeks till it works?

Can it be used with Azelaic acid?

is it good for blackheads on the nose?

Nothing better than TactuPump (Epiduo). Period.

Can I use it with differin?

Hello Dr Sam :) love your content so much !! May i please ask you a question? I've watched all your other videos and i didn't find an answer :( Can i use benzoyl peroxide on top of azelaic acid in my morning routine? (i mean: cleanse -> azelaic acid -> benzoyl peroxide -> moisturiser -> spf) Thank you so much

Can this be used with a rentinol

BP works great to clear up my acne but causes severe redness, itchiness and some swelling. I’ve used other actives but none work as good as this one for my skin. What can I do? I use 2.5% and moisturizers. I also have a mild case of rosacea.

Heloo Can we use bondi sands sfp50+ on oily acne prône skin?

Benzyol peroxide was that only treatment that helped with my hormonal breakouts. It did take some time to work though.. I started in May, and first in July it really started working.

I don't usually have acne but in the summer I always get a lot of forehead acne that I can't get rid of (I blame the 35C+ weather). Benzyl peroxide is that only thing that gets rid of it and gets my skin back into a good shape.

kya isse pores open ho jate hain,aur kya ye white head km krta hai?

Does it kill our good bacterias too?

Hello Dr Sam! I have oily Skin & whenever I apply Benzoyl Peroxide my skin actually becomes even more oily..why is it so? (PS. I do apply a moisturiser before applying Benzoyl Peroxide in Gel form) Thank you..🙏🏻

Benzoyl peroxide destroyed my skin. Now using Azelaic acid and it seem to work just as well as the BP did, with no irritation.

I started using benzoyl peroxide two months ago. I'll be reaching my third-month mark in a week. A month after bpo, I started to have results and that was when I started to use alpha arbutin with ascorbic acid in the morning. I only used it because it's about to be expired in a month. 2 weeks after using aa+aa, I started to break out again. I stopped it immediately but even after a month the breaking out is still ongoing. The bpo doesn't seem to work anymore since I purged from vitamin c. I thought of adding adapalene to my routine, but I don't know how to incorporate it. It could be too irritating for my skin while I use bpo. should I completely stop bpo and incorporate it later on once my skin gets used to adapalene or can i start using adapalene while still using bpo?

Hi Dr. Sam! Please can you do an updated video on antiageing routine? Based on your suggestions, I've found this routine: AM Ceravé hydrating cleanser, LRP vitamin C serum, Rilastil Spf 100+ (wonderful!); PM: Ceravé h. c., LRP Retincare intense. After a year I can confirm that: my skin is clearer and beautiful even without makeup (and I use only a few makeup products...no more foundation, only pin point concealer if needed! Is it fine/sufficient to tackle time, or do I need boosting? thanks & xxx from Italy! Laura

Benzoyl peroxide worked very well for me until I developed an allergy to it 😭

Can you combine it with other actives? I know you must avoid using iz with vitamin C and vitamin A in the same routine, but anything else?

I find it quite drying too.

BP or tretinoin for acne??? I'm contemplating between this two 😢😢😢😢😢

Hello Dr. Sam! I need your help with skincare too. So I have oily, acne prone skin and since I turned 18 (21 now) I’ve been dealing with the nonstop breakouts usually around my cheeks and jawline area. I seldom get pimples on my forehead, but it does happen too. I’ve tried sooo many products and went to so many dermatologists in my country but none of them really help with creating a skincare routine. They just give prescriptions to drugs which haven’t really worked for me without a normal routine. I know the breakouts are not hormonal because I have been tested and also been on the birth control pills for the last 1.5 year. This year at the end of September, I went to yet another doctor, who prescribed me Epiduo. I promised myself to stick with it for at least 3 months so here I am. My current routine is very simple: AM: - I’m cleansing with La Roche Posay Effaclar Gel micro exfoliating cleanser with 2% salicylic acid and LHA. - I follow up with Curiosin gel, which is a medicine with zinc-hyaluronate formula to unclog my pores (I have big ones) and also to heal some blemishes (I have acne scars on my cheeks) - Sunscreen: Topicrem CALM+ soothing protective cream spf 50 PM: -I double cleanse, again using the same La Roche Posay cleanser, or if my skin is very irritated, I also use Avene Clearance cleansing gel - I follow up with Avene Clearance Hydra soothing cream - Epiduo on my problem areas I’ve been doing this for the last 2.5 months but my face is still breaking out. I’m not sure if this is still the purging period for Epiduo or if I’m doing something wrong with my routine. Is there anything I should change/ add? I live in the country Georgia and some of the products you talk about in your videos are not accessible here. I usually go for drugstore products because they can be found more often here and also because they’re cheaper. What do you think? Please help, any of the readers are welcome to help me too♥️

Dr. Sam what will be more effective adapalene or benzoyl peroxide for active acne?

Would it be okay to alternate using a benzoyl peroxide gel one day and Salicylic acid (I use Paula choice BHA) the other

Been 2 weeks since i started using benzoyl peroxide and it cleared the acne around my chin which is basically known as hormonal acne but it still didn’t work work well on the pimples around my cheeks so should i be worried? Should i start using sth else? Pls do reply❤️

It is effective but harsh

Does the oxidation induced by BP contribute to premature aging?

Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic Acid and Retinoic Cream in addition to oral meds helped clear all my acne on both cheeks. I'm in my third month now with the topical meds. Hoping to get greater skin ❤️❤️

Hi, thanks for this video. I'm on my second week of benzoyl peroxide. It has helped with my acne but my acne scars look darker than before using BP. Is that normal or is it burning my skin? I feel a lil burning sensation when I apply BP but nothing crazy.

My skin starts burning only when I apply my moisturiser... I usually let the BP absorb for 5 minutes. What should I do?

Does BP thin the skin or cause any long-term damage?

Can you use benzoyl peroxide wash with a retinoids?

I have used Benzoyl Peroxide and it helped me so much but it always left my face so dry and could not find something to add hydration to not face

do u recommend 4 or 10% benzoyl peroxide face wash for hormonal acne?

Number 4. You're gorgeous!

Is the wash version 5% strong enough for mild cystic acne?

my skin is still red 2 days after using benzoyl peroxide, it burns whenever i cleanse or moisturize and i never had this problem. will it get better ?

Hello mam...before applying benzol soap...how to clean and cleanse my face mam?

I developed an allergy to it...it's a shame because it did help with breakouts before... can't even use it in a wash form with contact under one minute!!! :(((

Maam i have pimples which are red can i use benzoyl peroxide 2.5% on them

Bleaching cloth is real

10-15 strength only, don’t waste money on just 5, I have used it since 2008

Can I use it all over my face for a year or more?

I'm actually not a big fan of the acnecide formula, I contacted galderma about it and they are NOT using micronized benzoyl peroxide! Which is such a shame! Because micronized benzoyl peroxide is not only less irritating but also more effective! The reason why it is much more widely available in the US is because it can be sold under a cosmetic brand from a cosmetic company unlike Europe where it has to come from pharmaceutical companies and you can't get it from a cosmetic brand. In my experience, the least irritating benzoyl peroxide is the proactiv pore targeting 2.5% treatment available in the US, in addition to benzoyl peroxide, it has a special delivery system that makes it less irritating. Though a major downside is that it is very expensive, it does have some fragrance but I can barely smell it

Hello doctor 😊 i wanted to ask if i can use it everyday? I have a 2.5% cream which i use for spot treatment.

Is it safe for breastfeeding also?

Commonist?

Thank you

💜💜💜

I'm a technological immigrant (I grew up before the Internet) so was pretty much alone in my quest for clear skin. I slathered on a 10% benzoyl peroxide thick as a mask nightly, and in the morning slapped on a 10% urea/5% lactic acid "body lotion". Aggressive? Yes, but exceedingly effective. The urea/lactic acid very effectively softened the crustiness caused by the benzoyl peroxide. I also had the occasional Jessie's peel from an octogenarian at an Elsa Hieronymus clinic. On my first visit she showed in a mirror how the comedons fled from my pores. She also prescribed two toners. The first had not only alcohol in it, but also acetone! The second was camphoreous. I wasn't scorned the way a client in the booth next to me was though. She had overdone the benzoyl peroxide to the extent that the jessner's peel wouldn't take. Her skin was too fried. It took me months to even get an appointment. "My waiting list is long..." I don't need those treatments now, but both me and my sister sometimes dream of booking appointments.
