Benzoyl Peroxide 🧐

Recently I bought the PanOxyl acne wash and the directions say it’s safe to use every day up to 3 times a day. Would it still work if I used it 2-3 times a week? I’m a little worried because my face is on the dryer side. What’s your experience with Benzoyl Peroxide? How often do you use it? I got the one that is 4%

I haven't used it this way but it has low concentration so in theory it would be safe to use it everyday. You can go every other day and moisturize and use sunscreen afterwards, and increase the usage depending on how it feels on your face.

Hi, it's safe to use it daily, but I'll recommend you to start with 2-3 times a week. Since you're new with benzoyl peroxide, you don't want to use it 3 times daily unless you have build up tolerance with benzoyl peroxide. As you have dry skin, it's best to start slow to avoid dryness and peeling. I have been using benzoyl peroxide for about a decade now. It started with a lot of dryness and peeling, as skincare video and education information were not a thing back then. I would suggest to use a gel cream if you're looking for more intense results.
