I’ve struggled with itchy skin rash under my armpits especially in the summer since I was a teen. I have gone to the dermatologist and was given a script which worked but the medicine has gotten expensive over the years. An esthetician suggested an acne wash with benzoyl peroxide and it has been life changing.
Yep, true I watched Dr.Dray since my 16, now I’m 24 she like a vine, with every year just gets better and better, thanks dr for ur work! If I could get appointment for this lvl dermatologist, i think my life’ll be easier😂
Oh my god, I've been struggling with acne for 15 years. But with your video I realized that all I had to do was use this benzoyl peroxide and tretinoin. It's still strange to be almost acne-free! Thank you.
I have struggled with folliculitis my entire life. I've been using a sal acid body wash everyday, making sure I use the tree hut shaving oil you recommend every time I shave, and religiously moisturizing with the retinol from Gold Bond. Seems to be keeping it at bay. I now only ever get a few odd pimples here and there on my body. Thank you for all your recs Dr. Dray!
Love the picture arrangement above your navy blue table. The gold frames are very classic and really bring that side of the room together. Nicely done 👍🏻
Great recommendation! I use PanOxyl Acne Foaming Wash Benzoyl Peroxide 10%, and I find it is an important component of my acne treatment. (I also use glycolic acid and rosechip oil.) I leave the face wash on for a little longer if I am having an acne flare up. Although I wash my face with it in the morning and evening, I have not experienced negative effects on my clothing or bed clothes. I am careful to rinse well and pat my face dry with a towel.
Was just prescribed BP by my doctor for acne to control inflammation before other treatments. As I’m looking for how to apply BP & avoid drying out my already dry skin, this video popped up in my subscription! How timely-thank you Dr. Dray!! ❤
Thank you for bringing up Macular Hypomelanosis. I had noticed this and never knew what it was until now. I feel like there are so many skin/hair conditions that affect Black/melanated people more and as a result, they aren't talked about a lot since we're a minority. So I appreciate you putting that information out there!
I’ve been using the Neutrogena stubborn acne treatment for a year after seeing you recommend it and it’s great! I can apply it 2x a day with no irritation. I use it whenever I feel a pimple coming on
I have rosacea and thought that all acne medication would be bad for me and that I should avoid it at all costs. I started trying BHA, amazing! Due to Dr Dray recommendation I started trying adapalene, best treatment that has happened to me. I also tried a benzyl peroxide wash and I can recommend it as an alternative to exfoliants. I am so grateful this channel exists ❤️
The vitamin b12 causes me to have terrible acne. Also coffee creamer especially from Starbucks drinks causes my acne to flare. If you need a good inexpensive moisturizer try Ponds Dry Skin cream. It works very well for me.
So, I listened to this video one month ago. I have coarse chin hair that caused lots of in grown hairs (hirsutism). I tried every type of hair removal (tweeze, shave, depilatory) and would always get in grown hairs with hyperpigmentation. I have been using BP for one month and I have not had one in grown hair since. Thank you! I feel like I can finally get rid of the hyperpigmentation since I am not becoming inflamed from ingrown hairs.
I haven’t used antiperspirant or deodorant for several days and have been leaving benzoyl peroxide on my underarms for a few minutes as recommended by Dr. Dray. Zero odor, sweat in this 100 degree weather smells like nothing. Thanks Dr. Dray! I loathe antiperspirant fragrances. Deodorant seems pointless; it’s basically just fragrance.
Hi Dr. Dray, I am 52 and have always been blessed with beautiful skin...until I turned 40. I struggled for a decade with rosacea and flaking. This last January I started taking excellent care of my skin. Added consistent use of vitamin C, Sunscreen, Salicylic acid and even a mild retinol. But I have CLOSED COMEDONES. What the heck? Never had these before. So sad.
I too had beautiful skin for most of my life, and I never suffered from acne during my teenage years, a few pimples here and there would happen, but nothing tragic. Then, around age 45 (I am now 59), inexplicably my cheeks began to fill with closed comedones, right on my cheeks, and it was a horrible thing to see because there were so many of them that my cheeks looked like the skin of an arbutus! No dermatologist has ever been able to fully explain the causes, but I was told that part of the cause was hormonal. The only thing that worked great for me was (and still is) tretinoin, combined with a very simple and basic skin care that includes centella asiatica. Vitamin C, on the other hand, made the situation worse in my case.
I would get your thyroid checked. I haven’t heard Dr. Dray discuss this, though I might have missed it. I developed cystic acne on my cheeks after forty. It was caused by low thyroid. They went away completely when I was treated for low thyroid.
@@SyKnife Hi, thank you very much for the advice, but I have already done all the necessary tests and my thyroid is perfect. There's nothing physically wrong with me, as I said no doctor has ever been able to fully explain the cause, but thyroid and other diseases have been ruled out, so honestly stopped wanting to look for the reason. Fortunately the tretinoin, which I tolerate very well, did a great job, and whatever these white dots were, they completely disappeared after about two months of constant use. I'm continuing to use tretinoin because since have been doing it, my skin has become very beautiful again😊
Could it possibly just have been a result of reaching perimenopause when you hit 40? Perimenopause can cause such a wide variety of changes to a woman’s body that one can suddenly have problems that didn’t exist prior to the hormonal shift.
Oh my such common sense teaching for us Dr. Dray. Your OG RN fan thanks you. I just h”headed off at the pass” a perioral dermatitis flare thanks to you with De La Cruz 10% Sulfur cream (and soap). Thank you for bringing knowledge to the people! ❤️ 16:53
Love info i actually have been seeing this product around but im glad you uploaded a video about it so i can really pay attention. Also, gotta comment on how glowy your look is! Whatever product youre using its absolutely gorgeous on you ❤
I love Benzoyl Peroxide! I started using it a few years ago after coming across your channel and it's been fantastic for me. I tried the bar soap and liked that better for my body. I felt like it lasted longer too (I am heavy handed 😅).
Hi, beauty of joseon just came out with a new sunscreen. It's called sun relief aqua fresh : rice + B5 spf 50. Hope you will enjoy it and recommend it 😊
Hi Jackie! Happy Wednesday!! I hope you had a nice day and that you're doing well. It was another gorgeous day here and I am loving it. My day was busy with lots of adorable fur babies. To name a few....a chocolate lab named Jackson and two wire haired dachshunds named Mr Bixby and Mr Bunter. Lol! How about having tea with me, my dear sweet friend? I hope you can join me. My kitties would love for Miss Fancy Pants to join them for cuddles. Please give her one from me. Have a beautiful evening and sweet dreams. Peace, joy and many blessings to you always. 💜🙏💜🕊💜🐈☕🐈☕💜🌻🐾🐾💜
Hi Mary!! Sounds Like You had a Day full of Joy, with All those Adorable Fur Babies, Love those Cute Names, Boy I Tell Ya they Just Keep Getting Cuter and Cuter!! I Know it was Gorgeous Here Too, haven't had any Rain for two Weeks, Really Dry!! I Would Love to Have Our Tea and Kitty Cuddles, Miss Fancy Pants is Prrrring and Twisting Away, as She Got Here Special Hug from You, She Really Looks Forward to It!! Please Give a Big Big Hug from me to Your little Darlings too!! I Hope You Have a Very Beautiful, and Cozy Evening my Dear Sweet Friend! Love Always and God Bless You!!🙏❤️🐈💕🐈💕☕️☕️🫖🍰🕊💕❤️🙏
@jackiemarsh2470 Just gave my kitties their hugs from you and they're purring too! They say thank you. 😸 I agree, people can pick some cute names. My late husband usually picked the names for all of the animals we had together and he could come up with some really cute names. He loved animals so much. Good night, my sweet friend. Rest well. 😴
Can benzoyl peroxide help with old people body odor? There is an unpleasant body odor that just does not go away even after showering among the elderly and I would love it if it would help.
I recommended this to somebody with acne inversa and it stopped it! No derm here has ever made that suggestion. Just antibiotics for weeks and weeks and antibacterial body wash
Hi Dr Dray! Can you please do a video on Trifarotene for atrophic acne scars? I was just reading a study on this that looks promising (hopefully). Thank you and love your videos!
I love this. Trying to find an alternative to annoying deodorant shirt stains in the underarm area or on the front while putting clothes on. Will BP WASH stain my shirt underarm area ?
My experience with benzoyl peroxide is that it is only as effective as the method of delivery. Specifically, if the formulation does not include DMI (dimethyl isosorbide), then it is completely useless. And the only thing on the shelves (here in Canada) with DMI is Oxy5 deep pore acne vanishing treatment. That’s it. That’s the only product worth using - again, at least here in Canada, where product availability is extremely limited due to Health Canada standards, and the fact that pharmaceutical companies don’t want to go to an awful lot of trouble to get something on the shelf in a country where there are only 40 million people.
Dr Dray, help! I recently got the 4% Benzoyl Peroxide at Walmart but I've been using the 10% one on my armpit. Should I re buy the 10% one or use the 4% one until I run out then make sure I only get the 10% next time? I think they only sold the 4% when I went or that was the only one in stock. Thank you so much, love your videos and I'm learning so much!
The Vanicream Vit C is surprisingly moisturizing with the glycerin and ceramides. It’s a really nice serum. I think it could be used on its own w/o moisturizer by people with no dry skin issues and/or during the summer or in high humidity situations.
I use Benzol Peroxide once a week at night but unfortunately it has bleached pijamas, sheets, even regular clothing that i wear the next day. I used BP at night during my shower and rinsed out completely with regular soap afterwards and still have those problems. I just used my ugly pijamas when i using BP now 😅 Do you have any suggestions on what type of soap to use to cleanse BP? I’d greatly appreciate it!
Can’t you just use a Benzoyl Peroxide cleanser as opposed to an overnight treatment? Just leave it on for 3 mins, and then rinse off. That’s what I’ve been using for 3 years, no staining on anything.
Hi Dr. Dray! I want to try the Panoxyl wash for stubborn jawline acne, but I’m curious if this could bleach my clothing even though it washes off? Any tips? Thank you!
Greetings Dr Dray hope u r well n 🖐Hello Every1 n Happy Wednesday😀n what a Wonderful Vid…. thanks n This is Gonna b so Helpful🔥👍n Continued Blessings to All💜….
Benzyl peroxide was what finally cured my acne after a long time. But for some reason, the stuff at the drugstore didn’t work. I went to an aesthetician and I got a benzyl peroxide there. How different can they be? It was a brand called Clinical Formula, very generic looking, you could get 10% or 5%.
Some chemist is saying that mineral sunscreens absorb and reflect UV rays and appear light on UV cameras. And chemical sunscreens absorbs UV rays and appears dark on UV camera. Please tell if that's true or not?
I applied the Neutrogena stubborn acne treatment to my medium-size cystic acne and the skin around it would start flaking. I only applied a tiny amount - should I apply even less?
I have HS, but it's only in my groin area where my panty line is. I didn't know about Benzoyl Peroxide for this! I will try this. I was using an antibacterial soap and sometimes hibiclens and also Clindamycin topical. What is your opinion on zinc oxide like diaper rash cream on the lesions for HS? I keep reading this on Reddit, but have not tried it. Have you heard this?
What a timely video. I just bought a tube of persa-gel 10 after battling an acne cyst for the past month with no end in sight. What's the general recommendation for using BP in conjunction with tretinoin?
As far as I know, BP is awesome, but doesnt play well with others, meaning its too strong and will probably cancel Vit A And pretty much all other actives. better in wash off product if the intention was to use both together..dont think theyd pair.
Benzoyl peroxide does a lot of really great things but it destroys fabric. If you use benzoyl peroxide wash in the shower, it will destroy your clothes throughout the day. Doesn't matter how well you think you're rinsing it off. It's especially problematic if you used it on your back, shoulders and chest. Recommendations to use it in your armpits really destroys your clothes. Benzoyl peroxide used on your face destroys any colored towels or pillowcases. So make sure that you're the one who paid for those things and that you're the one who's willing to replace them once they are destroyed and bleached out. If you're staying at someone's house, don't use your benzoyl peroxide and their towels or sheets.
Do you have any videos on fruit enzymes? I have read they break down keratin and can help some skin conditions but I dont know if there are any strong studies or science behind them. I have tried benzoyl peroxide but get quite irritated with it.
can you use benzol peroxide along with retinol in you skincare routine? i like both of their benefits but i think i've heard you say they cancel each other out but what about using it on different days?
So Doc, I have BP 5% wash, Adapalene .01% gel and Salicylic Acid 2℅ wash in my arsenal. All of them together are too irritating, how should I go about my regimen? I'm thinking of dropping either Adapalene or Salicylic because they are almost the same thing? Salicylic acid being a wash might be more convenient and therefore easier to stick with as a regimen.
@@evelynbarry5046 i think this is a general advice that a lot of people can use. Sometimes even your own personal doctor over prescribe and it end up irritates the skin even more.
Personally, I would ditch SA wash and use BP in the mornings (leave for 2-3 min then wash off ). For evening cleansing would choose something suitable for sensitive skin with no actives. Adapelene & SA are not similar. Also consider getting some compensating or soothing cream/gel
Hello Dr dray,could I ask you how can takes an original benzoil peroxide ;(? I'm looking for google but I think can be a fake product,please answer at this comment ^_^!
I have 10% benzoyl peroxide, I know it’s a bit too harsh to use all over my face but I’ve been using it as a spot treatment, is that ok for my skin? Or will it damage my skin barrier? (If it damages my skin barrier what can I do to fix that?)
You could have an allergy to something you’re eating. The vitamin b12 causes me to have bad ance and creamer for coffee (or getting coffee from Starbucks etc) ruins my skin.
I’ve struggled with itchy skin rash under my armpits especially in the summer since I was a teen. I have gone to the dermatologist and was given a script which worked but the medicine has gotten expensive over the years. An esthetician suggested an acne wash with benzoyl peroxide and it has been life changing.
I need to try that . My underarms are the same they itch so much and I can’t use deodorant cause everything irritates it
deodorant is probably the cause.
Hibiclens wash on your armpits and hyperclhorus spray
Witch hazel spray works wonders too!
benzoyl peroxide has been my life saver when it comes to backne, also, Dr. dray you are looking beautiful today.
Oh thank you!
Yep, true I watched Dr.Dray since my 16, now I’m 24 she like a vine, with every year just gets better and better, thanks dr for ur work! If I could get appointment for this lvl dermatologist, i think my life’ll be easier😂

she’s probably the smartest and most knowledgeable dermatologist on this platform. its not even close. great vidro 👍
Benzoyl Peroxide has been a life saver for me. People also don't realize it but it helped my uneven skin tone as well.
That's what caught my attention about this product, when did you notice the results if you don't mind sharing?
I have struggled with folliculitis my entire life. I've been using a sal acid body wash everyday, making sure I use the tree hut shaving oil you recommend every time I shave, and religiously moisturizing with the retinol from Gold Bond.

Hello & Happy Wednesday, Dr. Dray❤
Morning!
I love Benzoyl Peroxide, I use the Oxy maximum strenght soothing cream and acne cleanser with prebiotics. Thank you Dr. Dray for educating us!
This summer I started using Cerave Hydrating cleanser, benzoyl peroxide, and Tretinoin .1 way better than taking spironolactone, Dapsone, way cheaper.
Your skin is *so* beautiful, no wonder you're everyone's go to dermatologist.😊
Yes I can testify this cleared up my cheek acne😊

I have #4 skin condition and I had no idea. It’s pretty mild but good to know I can do something about it. Thank you so much Dr Dray ❤
It’s also great for whitening under the nails. I use it as a nail soap in an addition to skin care.

Dr. Dray you are amazing! Thank you for your videos!

thank you for this video! I was wondering does benzoyl peroxide effective for cold sores?
Hello! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Can it be used on “private” areas of the body, as well?
I just washed my face with it for the first time this morning and my face feels burny 😵💫

Oh yes, Dr. Dray, does every person need to follow-up face washing with a moisturizer? Or can I just use Vanicreme's Vit. C Serum? Thanks.
Yes you need a moisturizer - lightweight if you have oily skin, heavy if you have dry skin. I’m sure she has a ton of videos on this.
@@tlc2741 Yes, she may. Have a nice day.
The Vanicream Vit C is surprisingly moisturizing with the glycerin and ceramides. It’s a really nice serum. I think it could be used on its own w/o moisturizer by people with no dry skin issues and/or during the summer or in high humidity situations.

So I can mix my adapalene and benzoyl peroxide together? No need to wait between layers?
IS IT TRUE THAT MINOXIDIL DEPLETES YOUR COLLAGEN? (i see a lot of very varied experiences and interpertations on studies regarding this)
I have HS, but it's only in my groin area where my panty line is. I didn't know about Benzoyl Peroxide for this! I will try this. I was using an antibacterial soap and sometimes hibiclens and also Clindamycin topical. What is your opinion on zinc oxide like diaper rash cream on the lesions for HS? I keep reading this on Reddit, but have not tried it. Have you heard this?
Can you do a review of the neutrogena collagen cream?
Should it be used a beard? I noticed you said it bleaches your hair
What a timely video. I just bought a tube of persa-gel 10 after battling an acne cyst for the past month with no end in sight. What's the general recommendation for using BP in conjunction with tretinoin?
As far as I know, BP is awesome, but doesnt play well with others, meaning its too strong and will probably cancel Vit A
And pretty much all other actives. better in wash off product if the intention was to use both together..dont think theyd pair.
Usually BP leave on in the morning, tret at night. If you’re using a wash you can use before tret.
Can you use benzoyl peroxide long term? Even for the rest of your life? I’ve heard conflicting ideas about this
I've washed my face with Oxy Acne Cleanser since I was a teenager, and now I'm nearing 50, so I really hope there are no long term effects.
I love BP. I’ll trust Dr Dray, not Valisure!
Benzoyl peroxide does a lot of really great things but it destroys fabric. If you use benzoyl peroxide wash in the shower, it will destroy your clothes throughout the day. Doesn't matter how well you think you're rinsing it off. It's especially problematic if you used it on your back, shoulders and chest. Recommendations to use it in your armpits really destroys your clothes. Benzoyl peroxide used on your face destroys any colored towels or pillowcases. So make sure that you're the one who paid for those things and that you're the one who's willing to replace them once they are destroyed and bleached out. If you're staying at someone's house, don't use your benzoyl peroxide and their towels or sheets.
I only use white wash clothes and towels
Should BP be avoided if you have melasma?
Just be aware that it will discolor your clothing! Works amazing though.
I've been using Epsolay for rosacea for over a year. It's pretty good, not perfect. Getting IPL next month.
Where can I find benzoyl peroxide pads as recommended by my surgeon prior to surgery ? Most products do not list bp as an ingredient.
How long does it take to see results? I used it for one month but no difference
Do you have any videos on fruit enzymes? I have read they break down keratin and can help some skin conditions but I dont know if there are any strong studies or science behind them. I have tried benzoyl peroxide but get quite irritated with it.
Id really love your opinion on dr vanita rattan and her skin care line.
Yayy doctor ❤
Thanks for watching
can you use benzol peroxide along with retinol in you skincare routine? i like both of their benefits but i think i've heard you say they cancel each other out but what about using it on different days?
Retinol at PM, Benzoyl Peroxide at AM ..
So Doc, I have BP 5% wash, Adapalene .01% gel and Salicylic Acid 2℅ wash in my arsenal. All of them together are too irritating, how should I go about my regimen?
I'm thinking of dropping either Adapalene or Salicylic because they are almost the same thing? Salicylic acid being a wash might be more convenient and therefore easier to stick with as a regimen.
The doctor can't give you medical advice in a youtube comment. You should have a consultation in person.
@@evelynbarry5046 i think this is a general advice that a lot of people can use. Sometimes even your own personal doctor over prescribe and it end up irritates the skin even more.
Personally, I would ditch SA wash and use BP in the mornings (leave for 2-3 min then wash off ). For evening cleansing would choose something suitable for sensitive skin with no actives.
Adapelene & SA are not similar.
Also consider getting some compensating or soothing cream/gel
It takes time for your skin to adapt to BP & adapelene.
Hello Dr dray,could I ask you how can takes an original benzoil peroxide ;(? I'm looking for google but I think can be a fake product,please answer at this comment ^_^!
If I want to use the 4% wash for my back how much should I be using ?
I have 10% benzoyl peroxide, I know it’s a bit too harsh to use all over my face but I’ve been using it as a spot treatment, is that ok for my skin? Or will it damage my skin barrier? (If it damages my skin barrier what can I do to fix that?)
benzoyl peroxide does NOTHING for my acne and it makes me angry that so many others get relief from it XD
You could have an allergy to something you’re eating. The vitamin b12 causes me to have bad ance and creamer for coffee (or getting coffee from Starbucks etc) ruins my skin.
