- [NEW VIDEO] HOW TO USE BENZOYL PEROXIDE FOR ACNE - • BENZOYL PEROXIDE FOR A...
Oh, I hate acne so much.. it's ever hard to explain 😀
As I said in the video I've already posted two TH-cam videos for benzoyl peroxide but I received so many question in the comments and that made me feel like I didn't explain well enough. So here it is... another video with more details, pics and videos from when I started using benzoyl peroxide and even more information.
In this video I show you how to use benzoyl peroxide gel for acne step by step, how to pick the right products, what are the annoying side effects and how to prevent (as much as you can) the dryness and the irritation from BP when you first start using it.
Also in the video I promised to share few helpful links so here they are:
- My first video for BP: • BENZOYL PEROXIDE: BEST...
- My second video for BP: • HOW TO USE BENZOYL PER...
- How to poke a pimple (P.S. There're many videos about how to pick a pimple, but I recommend this method because I've tested it and it works): • How to pop a pimple - ...
- Video for Glycolic Acid (Chemical peel that helped me get rid of the hyperpigmentation a.k.a the dark spots from acne): • GLYCOLIC ACID ... FOR ...
- As I said in the video, many brands have sets that include cleanser, benzoyl peroxide gel and a moisturiser. I believe that it's best, especially in the beginning to buy such set instead of buying the products separately. The products in the set are usually designed to work better together and it also saves you a lot of headaches to try to put a skincare routine together. I've been using The Regimen by Acne.org and I recommend it, it definitely works: store.acne.org

This was really helpful, I’ve been using Bp for about a month now and started off using it twice a month and my face was extremely dry and peeling like crazy. This gave me lots of tips to always keep in mind
I'm so glad! 👍🏼
Thank you so much! I started this treatment a few weeks ago and it can be very discouraging to see the skin get so dry at the beginning. However, it has been helping a little bit with the inflammation from the acne. It is such a relief to hear you remind us that this treatment takes time... Ater ten years with acne on and off, it can be so depressing trying to treat it with no success. I am very hopeful for this treatment though. Thanks for your advice!
Hi Carla, you're very welcome! I agree it can be soooo depressing and lonely as people around you don't understand the struggle. I've been also suffering from acne for about 10 years and nothing helped me but this skincare routine. I'm sure it will help you as well. If it doesn't help means you're doing something wrong .. find what it is and keep going, don't give up ❤️ I'm here if you need any help!
how was bpo for you later ?
Did it work?
@@nadiazayatmakeup Can i use aloevera gel or vaseline instead of moisturizer??
A nd when your face started peeling off what did u do/ Please tell,i m facing the sm thing too
Ur video so informative and straight to the point! It's probably the first time I have ever watched a video like this without skipping!! Great editing too!!
yay!! I put so much effort in my videos so it's really nice to hear that ❤️ thanks!
I agree 👍 well done ☺️
I’m a part of a younger audience but this was very educational for me so thank you very much!
Omg, did you just call me old?? 😂😂 I’m glad you liked it!
This was exactly what I needed! Thank you for this video, my skin is on fire but I only started using the gel from the dermatologist for 5 days, so I’m going to take it slow. You are proof that it’s going to be worth it. Thank you 💜
I'm glad it was helpful! 💜 It would definitely work, it's just a bit annoying in the beginning .. If your skin is irritated now it's best to stop it for few days, let your skin recover and then start it again but this time slowly. I'm sharing link to my other video where I give more details in case you haven't seen it th-cam.com/video/kXxaX7iEMrU/w-d-xo.html Good luck ☘️
So how’s it working?
Thank you so much for all these infos, the editing is beautiful and i love the makeup you have on 😍
You’re very welcome!! ♥️ I’m glad you noticed the editing, I put a lot of effort 😄🥰
@@nadiazayatmakeup it's obvious bravo 👏🏻👏🏻
I'm so glad to see this video just after using bp for 2 days and notice redness and dryness. Also, say that if someone has sensitive skin(like me), its better if you use it every other day💚✨💚
Yeah, maybe start using it every other day first.. now that you've used it for 2 days and you've noticed irritation, it's better to stop using it completely for about 2, 3 day so your skin can get back to normal, then start applying only a pea size every other day only in the evening. After that you can slowly increase the amount. There will be some irritation the first month for sure but it should be bearable. Good luck 🥰
so calming your voice.glad.finally.👍
Thank you!
You are so helpful, thank you for this. Not to mention beautiful too. ❤️
Thank you xx ❤️
Hey! I love the info and your makeup in the video! Would you be able to make a video about your full skincare routine? I've just recently gotten into skincare & am having a hard time finding a routine without overdoing it on the products.
Thank you so much, Anna! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Yeah, I was planning next to film a video about my skincare routine + how I use benzoyl peroxide. So I’ll upload it in few weeks.
@@nadiazayatmakeup Great!! Thanks 🤩
This video is so helpful! Thank you so much for taking your time and explained, was definitely needed! 🙏🏽
Yay! I’m glad to hear that 🎉
Hy just confirm it is mandatory moturiser after apply benzoyl peroxide
Hi there! Loved your video, it was very informative. Please could you do a makeup tutorial based of the makeup you’re using in this video. It looks stunning on you. 🌹❤️
You’re so kind! Thank you so much for the nice words 😍 my makeup tutorials usually don’t get many views lol so I stopped doing them but many ppl asked for tutorial for this look so I guess I’ll film it 🥰
There's definitely a reason to why I came across this video on TH-cam: th-cam.com/users/Jyovis of Jyovis Ayurveda and I was very happy to see the results. I even followed few of the tips explained and it actually worked. Then I finally decided to contact on ...... (+91 7304365455) to cure my Problem from the root cause. The team really helped me a lot. Thank you Jyovis!
Detailed and well explained video, I confirm everything in this video as a pharmacist
yay, thank you!!
You are so beautiful and your voice is ahhhhmazinggg ❤😍loved how beautifully you described the whole thing ⛤⛤
Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for this video it’s very helpful. It really helped me👏🏻👏🏻💕
Yay! I'm glad to hear that 🥳 You're so welcome!
This was really helpful thank you and I was wondering can I use rosehip after applying bp instead of a mostzier?
I’m glad it helped 💝 I don’t think the rose hip would moisturize your skin as good as the moisturizer. But you can try if you want.
After using BP for a few days I almost stopped because how irritating it was. But now I think with the proper way I can use it to reduce my acne
Definitely! Same happened to me, I started it and stopped it twice 😅 eventually I succeeded! You just have to start slowly and increase every week..
thank you so much for this video!
Hi Noelle, in the beginning it’s best to apply pea size only in the evening for a week or two, then you can slowly increase the size and apply it twice a day. That way the side effects won’t be that bad and you’ll give your skin the time to get used to it.
Ps if your acne isn’t that bad you can keep using it only in the evening.
@@nadiazayatmakeup thank u so much!
Can I use benzoyl peroxide as Beauty product
@@Priya_8401 no. It will cause irritation to the skin if it’s not being used for acne
Thank you! You answered so many question ❤️
You are very welcome! ❤️
Hi, thanks for this video. I'm on my 5th day of using benzoyl peroxide and the skin around my mouth seems to be really dry and is about to peel but it's also getting dark in there, almost same like yours in the picture of your skin during your 4th day of benzoyl peroxide. At this point, am I supposed to stop using BP for couple days or should I keep continuing using it? I'm afraid it'll cause scars. Please let me know. Also what type of laser treatment did u get for the acne scars?
Hi Sahar, if you have started using bp slowly (only a pea size only in the evening for the first few weeks) then there's no reason to stop it, some dryness, redness and irritation is normal. If the dryness around your mouth is too much just skip one application or just don't apply anywhere near the mouth for 1, 2 days.
If you're using 5% or more and/or you apply it twice a day.. for sure your skin will get very irritated so it's best to stop it for few days and start it again but this time slowly.
I tried laser once but my skin didn't react at all.. so for me it was a complete waste of money and I decided to try something else instead. I did Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling + PRP ..it's quite expensive but very effective not only for the acne marks & scars but for wrinkles, dark circles, puffiness etc..
However there're so many different type of lasers, I think some of them are effective but not sure which one exactly. If you have only dark spots from the acne or the sun.. chemical peel is great, they're affordable and get rid of the hyperpigmentation/dark spots.. but won't help much for acne scars for example.
I was using BP and it was my holy grail because it keeps acne away. Except the occasional 1 or 2 every other month. But since stopping the BP the acnes came back again for a good 2 years or so. So now I’m back on BP again. 1 week of BP and it’s definitely the worst, but with BP it’s all about giving it time to work.
So sorry to hear the acne is back! 😔
Yeah, I agree with you.. it definitely takes time to work!
Thank you for this video !! I am staring with BP this week but I would like to know if you are still using it after you cure your acne ? Is it necessary to continue using it ? I would appreciate your answer 🙏🏻☺️
Hey, yes.. unfortunately I still use it. From what I read.. benzoyl peroxide unclogs the pores and prevents future comedones from forming, so for acne-prone skin it just becomes part of the skincare routine for years.
Acne.org suggest that you can try to stop using it once you're confident your skin won't break out (apparently after sometime your skin is no longer acne-prone but I don't know how this works). I've read in their forum some people use it only once a day - in the evening.. after they've cured the acne or have reduced the quantity.
Sorry I couldn't explain it with few words only 😄 I hope you understood me.
nadiazayat.makeup I understood 😁thank you for your answer !!
@@johanarambousek-gammone5157 how has it been i’m about to start
Hello, thanks for this great video and I’m going to start my journey with this kit! Did you wash your face twice a day??
Hi Brenda, you're very welcome. Yes, I always wash it with cleanser twice a day. Good luck on your journey ☘️
The great explanation, that I heard
I recommend:
-Only using benzoyl peroxide at night
-Getting 2.5% or 5% because 10% is really irritating but if your acne is inflamed and is really bad get the 10%
-wait 20-30 minutes after applying benzoyl peroxide and then apply moisturiser
@@Genskinner no leave the benzoyl peroxide on
@@Genskinner unless it’s a cleanser wash it off
what's a good sunscreen after benzac? the one she showed was pricey in my country so I'm looking for alternative. somehow cheap, if you know anything^^
@@oupiuopi641 what’s your skin type?
Do u wash it off before sleeping??
Thank you so much for this video..i needed it
You’re very welcome!
Hie thank you for this informative video. Can I use the BP on where I usually get my pimples. Mine I usually on my jaw line
You're very welcome! Yes you can.. no need to make the rest of your face suffer as well 😄 if you get pimples only on the jawline then apply it only over there. Just make sure to cover the whole area, not only the existing pimples.
Thank you soooooo much, this video is very helpful. Can i use bp all over my face or as a spot treatment please answer.
Don't apply it only on the spots, it would help cure these pimples but new ones will show up.. It's better to apply it on the whole area where you get pimples. For example if you get pimples only on your forehead ..apply it only there.. there's no need to apply on the whole face.
Hey I'm using benzoyl peroxide but it can remove the spots if the distress are at starting stage when ever I get any pimple I'm using benzoyl peroxide 2.5 and you are so cute and sweet voice ❤️
Good to hear that it helped you!! 👍🏼
Thank you very much 🥰 this is really helpful❤️you’re so beautiful and your sound is perfect 🥰🌻
Yayy!! I’m glad to hear that 💕
Can I use benzoyl peroxide as Beauty product
Hi Nadia, love your videos. I was just wondering if I could apply BP after the moisturiser? I have the Benzac ac kit btw. Thanks :)
Hi, lots of people wrote in the comments that they apply it after the moisturiser. I prefer to apply it before the moisturiser, that way I know my pores are "clean" and BP can penetrate better. I just feel it works better this way.
Hello!! I didn't know BP at higher concentrations had the same results as in lower concentrations. I do have zapzyt 10% BP treatment gel and I'm applying every 3 days in the evening. How do I apply it so my skin doesn't get too irritated when I use it?? Thank you and wow, nice video!!
me neither, but I read it in few different websites .. apparently there was a study and that's what they found out.
So acne.org advises to start using BP this way (that's how I started it as well):
1. a pea size of 2.5% bp only once a day in the evening for 1 week or a bit longer if your skin is still irritated.
2. Once you feel like your skin is getting used to it you can start applying in the mornings as well..
3. Every week or so you can increase the amount of bp until it covers the whole face (or the areas where you have pimples).
If you start using it this way you will still have dryness and irritation but it won't be that much.. If at some point you feel like your skin is too dry you can skip one application.
thank you for this explanation. I’ve been using bp for 4 weeks and yesterday my skin was clear and smooth. and now it’s really red and I have this burning feeling. I think it’s because I shaved my face yesterday or because I didn’t apply much lotion
You know it happens to me sometimes even though I’ve been using it for almost two years. It can be from anything .. sometimes when it’s too hot I think my skin gets sensitive 🤷🏻♀️ Anyway it probably happened because of the shaving .. just skip 1, 2 applications and it should be fine :)
@@nadiazayatmakeup Ohh ok thank you beautiful 🥺
Very helpful video thanks please tell me how long time I use bp and when stop it
I'm glad it helped. As far as I know you can use it for years, so just stop it once you're confident that your skin isn't acne-prone anymore (meaning it won't form new pimples anymore).
I didn't have the success with tretinoin using it since march and stop around September. Now I'm back to zero from my tolerance. I gave up. Now I'm only using 5% BP cream every night with almost the same routine as yours just with a 2% salicylic acid wash. In just 2 days some active acne started to dry up. How I wish I discovered it soon enough. It's so good. Thank you for the video. I might use it day and night now. My skin is pretty much tolerance with acne medications. 💖
I was also recommended tretinoin few years ago but it didn’t work for me, anyway I’m not even sure I was using it the right way... BP was the only think that actually helped in the long term, I’m glad it also helped you so far ♥️
@@nadiazayatmakeup do you use it day and night?
Yes.. cleanser, BP and moisturizer morning and evening
@@nadiazayatmakeup thank you so much for replying.
Hi! How do you use the glycolic acid and the BP in one routine? Do you alternate days?
Hi, I've been told that it's ok to use them together just not when you first start BP because your skin is too irritated. I waited for about 2 months for my skin to get used to BP, then I added GA into my routine. I apply it only at night, you can either apply it instead of the moisturiser or mix it with your moisturiser, I prefer the second option (I use 10% and I've noticed that it's a bit too strong for my skin to use it on its own so I always mix it with the moisturiser).
I also found this video helpful 🙌🏻 thank u
You’re welcome 🥰
What do you think of vanicream moisturizing lotion to use with benzoyl peroxide? It is very thick. ❤️
Unfortunately I haven’t used it but it has very good reviews online 👍🏻 so I guess it’s worth trying.
Hey ! Thank you for this video. Can I use this product in combination with a salicylic acid cleanser ?
Hi Zahra, you're very welcome 💖 as far as I know you can use benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid together.. plus the cleanser doesn't stay on your skin for a long time so it shouldn't be an issue.
@@nadiazayatmakeup Okay thank you so much ❤️
Just recently bought the cerave 4% foaming benzoyl peroxide face wash along with the cerave moisturizing lotion for after. Do I still need to cleanse my face with another cleaner before the cerave one? Or is that one alone enough?
Hi Hector, one cleanser is more than enough. Use the 4% BP face wash twice a way - in the evenings and in the mornings and then moisturise the skin with the lotion. Just keep in mind that a cleanser with BP isn't strong enough to make a huge difference so if your acne is stubborn and mild/severe it's better to use the gel as we keep the gel for about 10-12 hours on the skin and that allows it to treat the acne better the cleaner which we wash within seconds. Good luck with your treatment ☘️ I'm sorry for the late reply!
Makeup tutorial on this look 😍
Aw ❤️ I would love to but my makeup tutorials don't get any videos in TH-cam 🙈 so I stopped doing them.. there're tutorials for a similar look in my IGTV though.
Hello! Thanks for this very informative video:) I was wondering if I could use a serum along with a moisturizer after applying bp on my face? Or should I take out the serum from my skin care routine and just use moisturizer after applying bp?
In the beginning I advise you to keep it simple .. cleanser, BP, moisturiser.. because your skin would get very irritated when you first start using benzoyl peroxide and every additional product might irritate it even more. After a month or two you can try to add the serum into your skincare routine.
@@nadiazayatmakeup thank you so much for your advice 🤍
@@nadiazayatmakeup should u aplly moisturiser after using bp or before using bp??
@@weirdasff 10 minutes after bp you apply moisturiser
Thanks
Hello lovely video! Please can I use The ordinary chemical solution instead of going for a chemical peel? And how can I incorporate in my 10% BP routine🙏🏽😭
Hi dear, hmmm I am not sure about the chemical peel, if it's glycolic acid then yes, I use them together but I'm not sure about the others. Which chemical peel exactly do you want to use?
This helps me a lot, but unfortunately I came here too late because my face is already irritated and it looks as my face has been burned by the product. I’m using aloe gel three times a day (this is the first day and I hope it gets better). How do you recommend applying the bp? Can you do a tutorial?
So sorry to hear that! Don't use it for few days and your skin should get back to normal. I already have a tutorial on how to use benzoyl peroxide step by step - th-cam.com/video/kXxaX7iEMrU/w-d-xo.html
Hi! I'm considering using BP as a spot treatment, but I only have a 10% gel concentration. I've never used BP before, so I'm kind off scared of using it. What should I do?
Hi Malena, I have a video where I give a detailed information on how to use benzoyl peroxide in order to reduce the side effects.. you can watch it here th-cam.com/video/kXxaX7iEMrU/w-d-xo.html
Regarding the spot treatment, in my opinion it doesn't work great. The pimples where you've applied BP will disappear after a while but your skin will produce more pimples.. it's best to treat the whole skin where you get pimples.
You tell the truth, thank you!
you're welcome!
Thanks for this video,I will buy one soon.
Glad I could help!
thank you, this helped☺️
I'm so glad! You're welcome 😌
I've used BP wash before and it helped with acne but my acne came back when I stopped. I decided to use it again but I don't know which products I should pair it with. Which products can I use with benzoyl peroxide wash 5%?
Hmm what do you have in mind? If you already use a product with bp (that wash you mentioned) then you don't need bp gel.. so I guess just moisturiser is enough. You can also add some product (or moisturiser) with salicylic acid or glycolic acid.. It will help with the acne and it will even your skin tone. 😍 and of course sunscreen when you go out.
Thank you so much for the information ❤ Just want to ask one thing more that for how much time we need to put on bp on acne prone skin?
You’re welcome ☺️ what do you mean? How many times a day? Or for how long to use it?
For how long to use it?
Hi Nadia! My skin is actually a combination skin but since i am using the benzoyl peroxide, i should use the moisturizer that is originally for dry skin right or is it?
Hi Fara, my skin is also combination (normal on the cheeks and oily on the T-zone) but since I started using benzoyl peroxide I've been using moisturisers for dry skin. In the beginning I used Cerave Moisturizing Cream as it's very thick and rich and it really calmed down the redness from BP (I believe it's for Very Dry Skin).
Now I'm using Cerave Moisturising Lotion which isn't that rich.. It's suitable for Dry and Normal skin type.
Owh so means after we stop using the BP, we can go back using the moisturizer for our skin type, right? thank you so much for your reply Nadia! im going to purchase it then! ❤️ rooting for your channel to get 1m subs!
Can you buffer benzoyl peroxide to prevent irritation? (Moisturizer before benzoyl peroxide) Also, does benzoyl peroxide help with textured skin? Last question, I only have breakouts on my forehead, so should I apply only on my forehead?❤️💞
I would say yes, apply it only on your forehead, no need to torture the rest of your face too lol
As far as I know the pores have to be clean so BP can penetrate and medicate. I doubt that it will work if you use the moisturizer first, anyway the irritation is just in the first months and you’re lucky because the forehead doesn’t get as irritated as the chicks 😊
What do you mean by textured skin? If you mean large pores, small bumps and big pimples.. yes, it will help but won’t help with acne scars unfortunately.
@@nadiazayatmakeup can i use azelaic acid in the morning and BP at night? i already use BP and it doesn’t irritate me at all. and for the acne marks i want to try azelaic acid now
I usually mix a small amount of BP with my nightcream and apply regularly and it keep my skin right. Don't forget sunscreen the next day,even at home
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
thanks for sharing this video. currently starting to use bp for 3 days. is possible to apply bp to tiny bumps like whiteheads.?
Good luck with your treatment 🍀☺️ yes, it’s fine to apply it on whiteheads, blackheads .. it should get rid of them too.
I get mine for under $4 at Walgreens. I spent a lot of money on expensive brands, dermatologists visits. Nothing helped. Dermatologist just told me due to allergies I should only use vanicream. The Benzoyl Peroxide immediately made my face feel softer within a few days and more clear within 24 hours. So like any treatment, side effects depends person for person.
I'm glad to hear you found something that works for you 👍🏼🎉
It cleared my skin after 5 weeks using a 5% wash and 2.5% to leave on and then I moisturized. Then after 3 days or so of being clear my Acne came back worse and I don’t know why (I never stopped using my routine) It has been 9 weeks now and my acne is still bad, I started using cerave foaming facial cleanser as my first step and I’ve been doing this routine in the morning and night for 2 months, any recommendations? I am 15 with oily skin in t zone and pretty normal around cheeks
Wow, this is so weird. I don't know what to advice you as I've never experienced anything like that. Maybe moisturise even more? Add some jojoba oil on top on the moisturiser.. Or think of any irritation that you might causing your skin. Hats, dirty pillowcase or towel, touching your face etc.
The problem could be you're not using a right moisturizer after so it clogs back your skin. Use a gel moisturizer which is lightweight and should strictly be for oily skin. Try that. All the best.
Thank you! I have been using it for 3 month and I thought I’d be done by now but 6 months sounds more realistic
Glad it helped! 💖
did it work? I'm on month 4 and my skin is horrible
I’m so sorry if you already answered this, but do you use the BP every single day? And do you use it twice a day or only at night or in the mornings?
Hi, Emily. Yes, now I use it everyday, twice a day - in the morning and in the evening. However the first two weeks I used it only at night, just a pea size of the product. After my skin got used to that I started applying it in the mornings as well.
Hello thanks for the video can u apply it over moisturizer
As far as I know it’s better to apply the BP first.. let it penetrate into the pores and apply the moisturizer after 5, 10 min.
interesting, maybe i am the only one who uses it like a retinoid, i wash my face and then i moisturize and then I put my benzoyl Peroxide, sometimes i mix moisturizer with benzoyl peroxide and apply on my allready moisturized skin ! I rarely have any flaking or iriitation.
Hmmm I’ve heard others here saying that they apply the moisturizer first as well. As far as I know it’s best to apply benzoyl peroxide on clean skin so it can easily penetrate into the pores.. but maybe that isn’t true for everyone.
My dermatologist recommended me to also mix the bp with my moisturizer, I literally just went yesterday (3-29-21), she advised me to dab the bp on my face like a spot treatment then use my moisturizer by mixing it all in my skin to prevent over drying the skin and redness
I have white heads /comedones and I've been using bp for a month now does bp is effective for comedones plus i use ordinary peeling solution twice a week too for comedones to come on surface
Hi Ayesha. It should help for the comedones as well, but I'm not sure if it's safe to use the peeling solution with bp.
2% Salicylic acid might help! : )
Can u tell me how BP works for comedones? Does it cause purging in the beginning? My inflammation was gone for some time but now I’m getting tiny bumps with whiteheads and I’m confused if it’s due to purging and clearing out my comedones or if it’s just a bad reaction.
As you have mentioned face turned to concrete... right now I am facing same condition... whole face very tiny tiny bumps like granules and dry and rough skin texture! I have stopped using it... let acne go by itself I hv left bothering... today only it just popped out the entire blood white pus...now left with dark spot 🙏
Aw so sorry to hear that! Acne won’t go on its own though .. unfortunately 🙈😔 if you stop using it for few days your skin will get back to normal.. then you can start using it again but start using it slowly and the dryness will be less.
So informative. I sometimes get itchiness like a burning sensation is that normal??
It's normal in the beginning but it's also an indication that you're using too much/or too often BP.
Hi dr u ar the cute ❤️
N my face is acne I done 4 time treatment facial
But still have acne pimples dark spots so im using t3mycin gel cn I use with benzoyl cream ?
I'm not sure to be honest with you.. I've never used this gel before.

oh, that's so nice of you 😊 thank you
Hi I got me some today never really heard of it before but I normally used salicylic acid and that was no longer working for my breakouts! I got some and wanted to see how well it works and so many people are loving it. I got a cleanser not the gel, but my acne went away and came back so I’m going to try this and the video was so helpful and I’m looking forward to healthier looking skin my diet and health are very good so not sure why I’m breaking out… I see a dermatologist soon
Anyway thanks again for this video ❤ also I got the 10% one and I’m hoping it’s not to harsh on my face but I was told it could cause dryness and I also got a moisturizer for my skin as well
Hi, yeh I also used only salicylic acid in the beginning but it didn't help me. I would personally use it together with BP for best results for acne-prone skin 😍
It's really hard to know why you're breaking out so don't worry about it too much. Also as far as I understood there's not a massive difference between 2.5%, 5% and 10% so it should be fine.
Good luck with the treatment and let me know if you need any help. 🍀
@@nadiazayatmakeup thanks but I feel like I’m breaking out more than ever instead of my skin clearing up. Been a few days and I’m getting worse and nothing has changed, same soap same food same medicine I didn’t used to have break out before with these said things I’m all out of options lol
Oh no, so sorry to hear that! What do you mean by soap? Do you wash your face with a beauty soap?
@@nadiazayatmakeup no I meant soap as in body soap and in laundry soap. Sorry. Of course not on my face just overall soap.
Okay, let's see why it might not have worked..
1. Irritation.. Check if you do anything to irritate your skin. Irritation plays a HUGE role when it comes to acne. That could be: touching your face throughout the day, not so soft pillow case, wearing a hat (basically everything that is somehow touching your skin).
2. Different brands BP are slightly different, so maybe the brand that you use doesn't suit you.
3. You don't moisturise your skin enough or/and the moisturiser doesn't suit you.
4. Do you change your towel and pillow case regularly?
5. Keep it simple, too many products sometimes actually make the skin look worse than better.
My derm recommended benzoyl peroxide for my after-acne redness though
I used this a few days ago and i already have wayyyyyyy less pimples and way smaller
Yay! I’m glad to hear that 🎉
Should i use before or after my moisturiser?
Mikaela before
@@osdorper2420 thank youu
Which one did you use?
What is your skin type? (Oily, dry, combo) I have combo skin and I am wondering what the best moisturizer for me is. I am going to try benzoyl peroxide next week. Loved the video!
Hi, my skin is combination (normal on the cheeks + oily t-zone) but I’ve been using moisturizers for dry skin since I started using BP. I like Cerave the most.. The Moisturizing Cream and the Daily Lotion. The moisturizing Cream definitely hydrates it better and calms the irritation from BP, but the lotion is much more lightweight. I know a lot of ppl use Cethapil with BP but my skin didn’t like it.
@@nadiazayatmakeup do you use cerave before or after applying benzoyl
About 10-15 min after benzoyl peroxide so the BP can dry completely.
@@nadiazayatmakeup that’s what I normally do but today I went like 3 hours without applying moisturizer. Is that bad? (Plus I have dry skin but it wasn’t really drying my skin out)
Thanks for the video 🙌🏻
You’re very welcome ☺️
Hey my skincare contains a kaolin,zinc oxide and glycerin lotion at morning and benzoyl peroxide gel at night if works amazing even if i don't add moisturizer with the bp . So do i still continue to use that or add in moisturizer with bp .
Hey Anushka, you might not feel your skin dry yet but it will for sure get drier, which means you might get wrinkles, peeling skin etc.. so absolutely I think that you should apply moisturiser 10-15 min after benzoyl peroxide.
after i put my moisturizer, it started rly burning👀 what should i do?
(i use the cerave moisturizer)
Wait 15 min or even more 30 min before applying the moisturiser... (sometimes when it gets red I use the hairdryer with cold air to calm down the skin lol I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do but at least it helps me)
for me they recommend to wash and moistures the next day like my doctor said that so :)
try do put moisturizer first and then put BP or dilute BP with moisturizer and put on the acne areas.
moisturizer sandwich
Hi, I'm using 5% benzoyl peroxide that was recommended to me by one of the doctors in the clinic (not dermatologist). I only use it at nights. Its helping me with clearing my acne but my acne scars look alot darker now. I now have more dark spots on my face. Is that normal? I don't have crazy dryness because I keep moisturizing.
It also happened to me and I got pretty scared so I emailed the brand I am using - acne.org... The reason was that I was using too much BP and also twice a day. At that point I stopped using it completely for few days, after that I started it again but I used only a pea size BP the first few weeks then I slowly increased the amount (That's what they suggested in the email). So you either apply too much BP or 5% is too strong for you.
I believe that darkness you're talking about is because the skin is about to start peeling .. It disappeared once I started using BP the right way.
Thank you Nadia!
My derma prescribed me BPO too and some spot treatment with whitening complex to help lighten pinkish marks
Do you rinse after you apply it ?
You used la roche posay spf, and alcohol is the second ingredient which is high, having dry skin with BP along with an spf with alcohol is damaging and will increase the flakiness right?
Yeah that's correct but funny enough I was using another spf when I first started using bp which irritated my skin so much so I switched to this one which is absolutely amazing, it doesn't irritated the skin and it's very easy to apply because it's very liquid-y. 😍
What SPF sunscreen would you recommend while using BP?
I like La Roche-Posay Anthelios Fluid Sun Cream SPF50.. because it's liquid it's much easier to apply after you've applied 2 products earlier (bp and the moisturiser). Also it doesn't dry the skin and it doesn't look greasy.
How to get lighter inner thigh and butt? I really need to know about this soon! Because it's my wedding twenty days later. Please reply! Please reply!
Oh, I’m really sorry but unfortunately I don’t know how you can lighten this area.
Heyyy congratulations about your wedding. Mix apple cider vinegar and baking soda and put on the dark thighs and sit for 30 minutes and wash off. Bless you
I have the 5% gel one. Do I rinse it off before putting moisturiser?
Hey, since benzoyl peroxide really irritates the skin in the beginning (until the skin gets used it, after that it doesn’t) there're two ways to start using it in order to avoid/reduce the irritation:
1. Either apply a pea size of it only in the evening for 1, 2 weeks (+moisturiser) then you can slowly increase the amount and use it twice a day.
2. The other way is to apply it then wash it after some time and then to apply the moisturiser.
You should pick one of the methods ..I did it the first way, so I don't know how the washing method works.
I have also suggested 5% benzoyl peroxide my dermatologist how do you use
Hi Nadia I am dark skin and ever since I used the regimen my face is darker than my hands and is very flaky and dry, I’m on my 18th day do you think I should start using the glycolic acid
Hey there, my skin also got darker than my hands .. it looked like I had tan, later it disappeared. Regarding the glycolic acid, I think acne.org suggests to start using it after 30 days, however my skin was still too irritated after the 30th day so I believe I started it maybe after 40 days and even then I couldn’t apply too much of it. So considering your skin is still flaky and dry I would suggest you wait maybe another two weeks or so?
Hello, Would I use serum like niacinamide before or after applying benzac 5% cream :)
Hi Krystina, so I haven't used niacinamide with bp but someone commented here that is fine to be used in the same day, so you can use the serum in the morning, BP in the evening (not sure if you can use them one after another, you need to google it).
P.S my advice is don't apply anything before BP.. let it penetrate into the pores and does its job :)))

How long did it take your burn to go away when you used too much of the benzoyl peroxide? And, did you use the benzoyl peroxide while the skin was burned?
No, I don’t think it’s a good idea to apply it on burned skin. Once I reached a point where my skin was too painful I realized I made a mistake so I emailed acne.org as I was using their products and they said to completely stop it for few days. For about 3 days I used only cleanser and moisturizer twice a day and my skin got back to normal, then I started again but this time slowly and it never got that irritated.
Hello, have you tried to use tretinoin? Hope you vlog your current skin care routine 😊🙏
Hello, I bought it once and applied it few times but I think I didn’t know how to use it lol so I didn’t see results, my skin started peeling so I gave up 😅 but I’ve heard it’s very helpful!
There's definitely a reason to why I came across this video on TH-cam: th-cam.com/users/Jyovis of Jyovis Ayurveda and I was very happy to see the results.

Hi mam explain morning routine and night routine with sunscream . We apply first sunscream then moisturiser
Apply sunscreen after moisturizer only when you’re going out. If you’ll stay at home that day or you stay indoors there’s no need of sunscreen. At night also there’s no need of sunscreen.
I love CeraVe’s 4% BP foaming cream cleanser, because it is rinsed off, it is less irritating and it’s not drying for me
It only bleaches my towels a little, and it doesn’t bleach my pillowcase
That’s great! 👍🏻🥳
I used bp and its coused irritation and itching.my skin is burn and after the burning area was dry and dark .my skin is now horrible than before .what can i do 😟
Hi Noufiya, you are probably using too much of it too often. Stop using it for few days, let your skin relax and get back to normal then you can start using it again but this time please watch this video first th-cam.com/video/kXxaX7iEMrU/w-d-xo.html Here I've explained how to use it the right way.
Hi! I got prescribed Clindamycin 1% and BP 5% and it completely dried up my skin and left my chin extremely itchy and whole face red. It’s the third day and I’m not sure if I should stop I don’t have cystic acne just white heads and red bumps and black heads and it seemed to clear up a bit it’s my third day the itching is just the worst any suggestions?
I have sensitive skin and I think my dermatologist just started off too high with the BP being 5% but is this itching normal purging or a reaction? I used twice on one day once on the next and once today.
Hi Lexie, I don't know why doctors prescribe 5% and 10% bp, they're too harsh! My dermatologist also prescribed me 5% years ago and I simply gave up and stopped using it because my skin was red and burning! Later I found acne.org and they recommend it's best to use 2.5% as it's as effective as the high percentages but less irritating!
So here's what I can advise you:
1. Stop using Clindamycin 1% and BP 5% for few days and let your skin recover. You can still use cleanser and moisturiser.
2. Meanwhile get 2.5% BP.. and when your skin is back to normal start using it but make sure you start using it SLOWLY.. only a pea size, only in the evening the first week, then you can start applying it twice a day and slowly increase the amount. (If you don't have cystic acne maybe applying it only in the evening is enough?) Keep in mind that some redness & dryness is normal the first month when you start using BP (however it should be bearable).
Regarding Clindamycin 1%.. I've never used it so I can't comment on that. Maybe it's best to use it as your doctor advised you.
@@lexiebenz5995 hey how did ur itchiness go away
Can you please show us your skin care routine. morning and night
Hey Rose, didn’t I show it in the video? 😯 anyway, there’s a full list of the products I use in the description below. I’ll film another video with my exact skincare and alternative products.
Hy i have acne and my dermatologist suggest me some medicine and adapelene & benzoyl peroxide gel i use it every night and in 2nd week my chin area started paining and also my skin started peeling off should i stop this for some days or continue...??? Plss say something..
Hi I just started using benzoyl peroxide yesterday and my skin got a lot worse. I am using 2.5% and should I only put it on at night? Also how long did it take for your skin to clear up?

I've noticed a significant difference after about a month, however it looked much better and without any pimples only after the 3rd month. I believe this is different for everyone depending on how severe your acne is etc, but in general don't expect miracles, it does take a while.
Hey hope u reply🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻..can I use this cream if I am 14yrs of age ..
I’m not 100% sure but it should be alright to use it.
Hello
Very informative video
I am using Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5 gel currently to treat my mild acne…
I was using it only in the evening as spot treatment since a week now…..but today started with whole face
I usually leave it on for 2 hours & wash it off with normal water….the result is slowly showing….my mild acne has minimise but not not completely
So since I started with whole face today
I am worried does the 2.5 gel cause skin purging & please please help me out with the right way to apply it…
Do I leave it on.. followed by a moisturiser or just wash it off after 2 hours of application & followed by a moisturiser…
Thank you 😊
Hi Niha, no.. it doesn't cause skin purging but it takes few weeks/a month to see a difference, so in the beginning you'll still get some new pimples. Don't worry, that's normal.
I've filmed another video where I share a lot of helpful information on how to use benzoyl peroxide for acne. Plus I've mentioned and explained all the steps. Here's the link to it th-cam.com/video/kXxaX7iEMrU/w-d-xo.html It should reply to all your questions. Good luck 💖
Hi! Some people say that we should wash off the BP after 10-15 minutes and then apply a moisturizer. Is that true ? or do I have to leave it on without washing it off and then apply a moisturizer?
Hi Carmelo, so when you first start using benzoyl peroxide your skin isn't used to it and you might experience some side effects like dryness, itchiness and redness. In order to avoid these side effects experts recommend to start using BP slowly. There're two common ways - one is to apply it and wash it after some time (I have never tried this way so I'm not sure how it works), the other way is to start with applying a pea size of BP only in the evening for a week or two and then to slowly increase the amount - this is the way I introduced BP to my skin. I have explained how I used it step by step in this video th-cam.com/video/kXxaX7iEMrU/w-d-xo.html I hope it would help you x
hii..i've been using this since a week and my acne is almost gone now..but it made dark patches in the skin where i applied for my acne..i just wanna know is it normal?? will it go on its own??
My face also looked like I had tan .. I think that’s because your skin will start peeling soon from the dryness. It disappeared after few weeks, just keep hydrate your skin with moisturizer even few times a day if you have a chance.

My face literally got back to “normal“ in like 5 days. It just started to get really red but that was probably cuz I was using too much
How long should I keep it on my face?
Should I keep it overnight?
@@saheefabakht2722 yes
@@saheefabakht2722 8 hrs
The doctor told me the redness is due to it increasing blood flow to the pores. A lot of people mistake it for an allergic reaction but you can use it once every couple of days to reduce it and let your skin get used to the product.
Hello, after using the benzoyl treatment.... which other products can i start using for my skin routine, i am scared what to use as i had a terrible acne before.
cleanser, bp, moisturiser .. then you can add some chemical peel like salicylic acid or glycolic acid.
I did the same as you, i thought my skin could handle 2 times a day of BP, but it made my face really red and itchy, i’ll stop it for a few days :(
aw, so sorry to hear that! We're very inpatient when it comes to getting rid of the acne 🤭 If you stop using it for few days, your skin should get back to normal.
Can I use the ordinary niacinamide serum after ?
Hi, I haven't used it before so I'm not 100% sure but someone left a comment under this video saying that's okay to use them together.. as long as you apply the niacinamide serum in the morning and BP in the evening.. just don't mix them together.
Hi i wish u reply, i feel that it is making around my mouth dark
Hi Doha, if it's the skin around the mouth I think it's normal, my skin used to look like I have tan the first month, I believe that happens right before your skin starts peeling. After few weeks it was gone.
@@nadiazayatmakeup thank you very much, i was so afraid so i stopped using it. I'll give my skin a break then use it again.
Please, anyone know if I can use ordinary peeling solutions and benzoyl peroxide gel in the same routine, not same day... But can I use both at the same time?? Please it would be helpful if you know and reply...
I replied to your other comment.
What about benzoyl peroxide cleanser? Mine is 5% but do you recommend to use it twice a day or once
Yes, cleansers should be used twice a day. If you use bp gel... cleanser with bp isn't needed, but if you don't use the gel then yes.. cleanser with bp twice a day should be fine.
after i applied the bp, can i continue to do my night routine? like instead of just applying moisturizer, i also use hydrating toner. is that okay?
I think if you want to use toner it’s better to apply it before BP.. If you apply it after BP then you might remove it or it might not work that good.
nadiazayat.makeup alright thank youuu
nadiazayat.makeup im sorry what if my skin starts peeling so bad?? how long does it take to heal? i only apply it once a day but its still kinda burning
@@khairunnisamakhtar9635 My skin peeled mainly on the chin for few weeks. It was ugly 😅 I didn't wear any makeup because it looked worse with makeup. If it starts peeling just apply moisturiser more often. You can apply moisturiser as many times a day as you wish. Also jojoba oil helps moisturise the skin, so you can apply it on top of your moisturiser. Just be careful with other oils, some tend to clog the pores, jojoba oil is non-comedogenic. Don't worry, it shouldn't continue more than few weeks.
nadiazayat.makeup omg same, the worst area is my chin. i dont mind looking at how bad it looks but its burning. i hope it ll recover faster. thank you for ur guide, and i might ask u more questions regarding this in future :)
