How to use benzoyl peroxide for acne steps. These are all the steps I have mentioned.

Step 1.) Spot test. Wash your hands with soap and water for 30 seconds and then spot test it, to make sure you dont have any serious reactions and to see if it is right for you before going ahead with it. apply a small amount to one or two small affected areas of the skin and Do this for 3 days, and if you dont experience any discomfort or any unusual stinging, then you can go ahead to step 2. If you experience an allergic reaction, stop the product immediately, and get medical help right away.

Step 2.) Wash your face first with a mild cleanser. I currently use: CeraVes Hydrating Facial Cleanser, its gentle and has been shown to work time and time again without disrupting the skins protective barrier. It might be more ideal to do this at nighttime before bed, especially when youre unwinding and removing makeup. So go ahead and wash your face then Afterwards, gently pat dry with a clean towel and wait until your face is fully dry to move forward.

Step 3.) Apply your 2.5% benzoyl peroxide and its important to start with the lowest strength first then work your way up if necessary. This is because lower concentrations of benzoyl peroxide have been found to work as effective than higher concentrations, without all the drying effects.. A rookie mistake I made back in the day was to start off with 5 or 10% thinking its going to work faster, it ends up over drying the face, causing flakiness, and irritation. So your best bet is to go with the 2.5% in the beginning and apply just enough of it to cover your affected areas and rub it in gently. Make sure to avoid sensitive areas like the eyes, nostrils, and mouth when applying

Step 4.) After youve applied it, Leave it on for about 2 hours. You might feel a mild burning sensation and redness, but don't worry itll pass. Keep in mind if you're using a benzoyl peroxide in the form of a wash, you can leave it on for about 2-3 minutes and then wash it off you dont have to wait the full 2 hours.

Step 5.) Now you're ready to wash it off. Rinse your face with some lukewarm water and not hot water. Afterwards, pat dry with another clean towel. One downside to benzoyl peroxide is that it bleaches things. If you have dark hair, you'll want to keep benzoyl away from your hairline as it can potentially bleach your hair.

Step 6.) After you have washed it off, Apply a moisturizer right after. Because lets face it, there's no two ways to go about it, benzoyl peroxide will dry out your skin. It's the most common side effect.

Step 7.) After youve had some beauty sleep hopefully, you want to make sure you use a sunscreen during the day if youre exposed to the sun. This is because Benzoyl peroxide can cause photosensitivity. For this: Choose a sunscreen that's oil-free with an (SPF) of at least 30 and use it every day to the best you can.

How does benzoyl peroxide work

Benzoyl peroxide is effective and reliable for acne because there are so many different mechanisms going on at once, Its antimicrobial in that it destroys the bacteria that cause acne, its anti inflammatory which calms down those angry large red pimples, its comedolytic which means it opens up pores and decreases inflammation on site, and finally it acts as an exfoliant as well to help with your skins overall appearance.
