I've been struggling with acne for a while now, and my dermatologist recommended trying Benzoyl Peroxide Wash 5% Liq 113ml. I've read that it can cause some dryness and peeling, especially at the start, but I'm hoping the benefits will outweigh the side effects. Has anyone else used this product? I'd love to hear about your experiences, both good and bad. Did you find it effective in treating acne? How long did it take to see results? Any tips on how to manage the side effects? And is it necessary to use it in combination with other products? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I've been using it for a few weeks now, and it's been a game-changer for my acne. The side effects were tough at first—my skin was super dry and flaky. But I stuck with it and now my skin looks so much clearer. I use a moisturizer twice a day to combat the dryness, which has helped a lot.

Don't give up on it too soon; it can take a few weeks to see real results. I had to push through some irritation and peeling, but now it's worth it.

I read somewhere that you should use it every other day to avoid irritation. Anyone tried that?

My dermatologist recommended using a very gentle moisturizer and a gentle cleanser on the days when I don't use the benzoyl peroxide. It really helps with any irritation. Plus, I've seen a noticeable difference in my acne.

I think it's best to use it at night so you can wash it off in the morning and moisturize right away. I also use a gentle cleanser in the morning. Has made a huge difference for me.

Just started using the Benzoyl Peroxide Wash 5% Liq 113ml. I've had an intense case of acne for years. I’m on day 3 and my skin is already turning red and flaking. Anyone have any tips on how to handle this?
