Benzoyl peroxide is an acne treatment you can buy without a prescription. When you first start using it, your skin may sting a little. It may also turn red, flake, and feel dry. These side effects are normal and may last several weeks. If they are bothering you, try skipping a day of treatment. If you can't deal with the side effects, talk to your provider about other options.
Around eight to 10 weeks after you start using benzoyl peroxide to treat acne, your skin should be much clearer (though you'll still get a pimple or two now and then). If the treatment did not work as well as you wanted, see a dermatologist. A prescription acne treatment might work better.

One study compared the irritation of Benzoyl peroxide 2.5% to Adapalene 0.1% and to a product that combines Benzoyl peroxide 2.5% and Adapalene 0.1%. The study showed that BPO Adapalene was most irritating, followed by Adapalene. Benzoyl peroxide was the least irritating medication of the three.

Is het waar dat Benzoylperoxide de huid slechter maakt tijdens de behandeling? Wanneer je jouw huid behandelt met Benzoylperoxide is het belangrijk om te weten hoe je de crème of gel gebruikt. Het is belangrijk om niet meer Benzoylperoxide op Benzoylperoxide te smeren. De acne zal niet sneller weggaan met meer Benzoylperoxide crème of gel. Je huid zal eerder slechter worden. Met teveel crème of gel zal de huid droog worden en kan zelfs sneller verouderen.
Wordt de huid slechter na het stoppen met de behandeling van Benzoylperoxide? Als jouw huid afhankelijk wordt van de behandeling tegen acne dan kan de acne terugkomen wanneer je met de behandeling stopt. Het is belangrijk om benzoylperoxide niet te veel en vaak te gebruiken zodat jouw huid niet onnodig beschadigd raakt en afhankelijk wordt van het product. Het gebruik van de behandeling eenmaal per dag moet genoeg zijn om de acne, puistjes of mee-eters te verminderen.
Wanneer je Benzoylperoxide gebruikt in combinatie met andere behandelingen die salicylzuur bevatten, gebruik het dan zuinig en veilig voor de beste resultaten!

Allergies to Ingredients. People who are allergic to adapalene, Differin, or any of the ingredients in the specific product dispensed should not use adapalene.
Do not use adapalene unless it has been prescribed to you by a healthcare provider. Use it as prescribed.
Do not share adapalene with other people, even if they have the same condition as you. It may harm them.
Keep adapalene out of the reach of children.
Wash your hands and the affected skin area with a mild or soapless cleanser before applying adapalene. Do not apply adapalene on skin that has cuts, scrapes, eczema, or sunburn. Avoid waxing for hair removal or applying other products that irritate the skin to areas that have been treated with adapalene.
Your acne might seem worse when you first start using adapalene because the medicine is working on pimples that you cannot see yet. This is normal and is not a reason to stop using adapalene. It may take 8-12 weeks before you notice results.
In particular, make sure that you discuss any of the following.
