Neck Acne Irritation / Breakout

Hello guys! I just wanna know your opinion and recommendations as well. I tried to put tretinoin 0.05% gel on my neck, for some says that it’s also good putting retinoids on neck for its anti aging benefits and for an even skin complexion. Risking my neck for it is unexplainable hahaha. I concluded that it is because of the tret even i know myself that my acne on face is slowly subsiding down, but not in my jaw-to-neck area. How can I solve this? 🥹

Benzyl peroxide can be effective but be careful, it's but tolerated well by everyone and it will bleach towels, sheets and clothes just so you are aware. I recommend starting with a BP cleanser a couple times a week. You should be double cleansing also, so after your first cleanse go in with something like the CeraVe BP cream cleanser and once you massage it in and get it a bit "foamed" up let it sit for about 3-5 minutes before rinsing. I find this very effective for my skin that doesn't tolerate BP well.

My brother and I also used this during very bad breakouts. But I can also suggest to switch your moisturizer if you use any, since my breakouts STOPPED completely after I found by chance a pefect face cream It is Clinique, it may not work for you but it has a pump which is more hygienic than a tube or a jar. There’s also an oil free version of the same moistures, I SWEAR by this line with my ALL BEING

It’s usually better to start with little percentage and then build up
