- I'm so happy that a lot of you found my previous video for benzoyl peroxide helpful 🥳 but since there were so many comments regarding the side effects, I decided to film yet another video. Here I focused mainly on HOW TO use benzoyl peroxide for acne.. I show you all the steps that I follow to get rid of the acne and to maintain clean skin and I also share with you all the products that I use and love. I tried to add as much as helpful information as I could without making it too long. However if I have missed some important information or if you have any questions or concerns let me know in the comments below, I reply to all the comments.
- I tried to avoid repeating the same things I said in the other video, so if you haven't seen it here's a link • BENZOYL PEROXIDE Expla... 🥰
- I've got a separate video on how to get rid of the dark spots/hyperpigmentation caused by acne: • HYPERPIGMENTATION (Dar...

This video took weeks of researching, planning, filming and editing, so it will be nice to know if it was helpful. Please make sure to give a thumbs up 👍🏼

Thank you. This was very useful. I wasn't sure about the order of acne cream and moisturiser.
I like your education you're giving us about skin issues
Listen to this lady and you will have success.
Dang this is a great video. It basically covers anything someone with normal skin would want and need to know about skincare. Kudos to you
Thanks.. but this video isn’t made for people with normal skin, so I assume you haven’t even watched it.
@@nadiazayatmakeup I have. I just felt like oily skin was what was the most common skin form, so ai just called it normal, but you are right. It isn’t normal
Ah, I see. I thought it’s a spam comment 😀
Thank you so much for the video, really needed this.
You are so welcome!
This is a really big help. Thank u❤
You’re very welcome.
Thankyou so much for commenting
Omg ...this is best video about BP. I'm glad that i came across this video....Thank you so muchh❤❤❤
you're welcome x
You are just incredible there is few content creator only reply for all comments ❤
Thank you so much!
Thank you for an elaborate explanation
You are welcome!
Very well explained ! 😇
Thanks a lot 😊
thank you sooo much for this veryy very helpful video
You’re welcome ☺️
It's too helpful video for me... Thank you so much ma'am.
Most welcome
Loved how useful this video was❤, just wanted to know how can we integrate retinol(pm) and vit c(am) eventually in the skincare routine?
I'm glad to hear that. I currently use retinol in the same routine with BP, I apply it on alternate days, for example, I apply it Monday and Friday, BP on the rest of the days. For the vitamin C you can do the same thing, just in the mornings.
@@nadiazayatmakeup you're such a sweetheart, thanks for taking out the time to reply
Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤ for the video
The weather is humid here and makes my skin very sticky and oily, should I still use moisturizer which is made for dry skin..?
Which sunscreens are good to use with BP? Mine has vitamins in it and it did burn my face. The skin under my eyes did hurt a lot after this. I also have the cosrx aloe soothing sunscreen, but i don’t know if this is safe to use?
can i apply aloe vera gel moisturizer after applying benzoyl peroxide and keep it overnight
What type of sunscreen should we use?
Hello! Thanks for sharing. It's very helpful. Did you use sunscreen? Did you also take pills?
I use sunscreen daily. I’m not taking any pills.
Thanks for this video, it was very helpful. Would you recommend using benzoyl peroxide in the night and then using the miracle toner (some by MI) after cleansing in the morning and missing out benzoyl peroxide in the morning?
I stopped using toners years ago and my skin is better than ever so I’m not the right person to ask regarding toners lol I would say it’s best not to use it at all.
technically it depends on how bad your acne is.. if you can maintain clean skin with using BP only at night then there’s no need to apply it in the mornings as well. My acne was super stubborn so I used to apply twice a day, after few years I stopped using it in the mornings.
@@nadiazayatmakeup Thank you xx what would you recommend with benzoyl peroxide really drying my face out. I moisturise regularly but the areas where my acne are (the areas I’m applying the gel to) it seems to stay very dry.
@@zainubhussain260i know i’m not the video creator but i reccomend adding a hyaluronic acid serum on DAMP skin and immediately add a thicker moisturiser (dry skin) or a gel moisturiser (oily), if you use hyaluronic without moisturiser it will draw moisture out instead of actually giving more
Miss can i use ANua Heartleaf 77% toner before applying BP gel? And... Can i use salicylic acid facewash?🙏
What time wash your face after apply benzoyl peroxide?
Hii, really it was really helpfull , and pls can you make a video of the skin care routine that a girl should have , ( why should we use it , benefit of using it , the way of using it , what it works for ,and the side effects) all step by step and pls make sure it's a well explained video. Because I am like a new born child , I don't know anything about the skin care routine , I wish to take care of my skin , at least now onward s , please make a video behalf of me . Please please
That’s a great idea for a video!! Thanks ☺️
ive been using BP after my moisturizer just to reduce the side effects of drying skin. Although ik it takes out the effectiveness but is it a big deal?? i like to put on a hydrating essence for extra hydration, niaciminide, and cream then wait 15minuts till dry then BP every night. is this fine or should i change my skin routine?
Hey, so if this works for you there're no need to change it. If you notice in the future that it's not effective then try applying the moisturiser after the BP.
Regarding the niaciminide, as far as I know you're not supposed to mix it with benzoyl peroxide. However, you can use them in one day - for example niaciminide in the morning and bp in the evening.
Do i leave it on for 12 hours? or leave it on for 30 minutes - 2 hours and wash it off with warm or cold water?
Hey thanks for the video its really informative
I had a question , as you said applying bp will make our skin sensitive to the sun so will our skin be sensitive against the sun for a long time or after not using it for week or something it will become normal?? (i know you said we should use sunscreen and i do use it everyday still i had concerns about bp making our skin extra sensitive against the sun)
Probably few weeks after you stop using it your skin won’t be sensitive. But if you stop using BP the acne will be back .. so just use sun protection when you’re outdoors. Sunscreen is good to be used even if you’re not using benzoyl peroxide.
@@nadiazayatmakeup okay thanks!
In our country we have only 10% heavy cream of this substrance. with what substance I can thin it to 2,5%?
You can try using 10% if you don't have any other option.
Should we continue to use BP even after the acne is gone?
What did you used for your acne spot?
My god you have a beautiful face even if you don't have a make up. You're naturally glowing. ❤
Thank you so much 💖
Thanks for explaining it in simple and easy terms.
I currently use tretinoin 0.015%. It irritated my skin, then it worked and now it’s stopped working!! So confused!
So i did some research about Bp.
I managed to only get my hands on the 5% gel.
Do u think i will get better results with bp then i did with tretinoin?
Do u have any experience or video on this?
Plz advise 😊
Hi, I haven’t used tretinoin but from what I’ve read so far benzoyl peroxide works a little bit better for mild to moderate acne.
Yeh, 2.5% BP is difficult to find but don’t worry, 5% should be okay.. just moisturize more, the dryness only lasts about a month.
Unfortunately I don’t have video on tretinoin :(
Good luck with your journey 🍀
Hey I just went to the dermatologist today for my body and face acne this video is helping me out. I haven’t done it yet because i wanted to make sure I knew everything I needed to do but I did have a question about the body acne. I know you said you could wash it off after a little while after applying it but the dermatologist told me to keep it on over night. Do you think it would still be affective if I washed it off after an hour of applying it or should I keep it on all night
Don’t wash it off. I never said you should wash it off. Leave it on overnight. Good luck 🍀
Great video! Quick question, after getting rid of acne, do you continue using BP every now and then?
I used it for years because every time I tried to stop it the acne used to come back. I did reduce it though. This year I stopped it entirely but I use Adapalene (another topical treatment for acne) and some supplements.
You don't even need makeup. Great results.
thank you so much
Hello,
Do you wear makeup in the day after applying BP? I have heard that the makeup will absorb into your skin after BP causing irritation and more breakouts...Is this your experience? Thanks!
Hi, I do wear makeup on top of BP now 👍🏼 but when I first started using it my skin was too irritated and looked even worse with makeup. Anyway, I do believe makeup causes breakouts so if you can live without foundation is much better.
Please please reply. In my pm routine can i use benzoyl peroxide cleanser like cerave acne foaming cream cleanser with my toner and serum 5 days a week, and in other two days can i use cerave hydrating facial cleanser and tretinion? I have oily skin during summer and dry skin during winter.
When should I use the benzoyl peroxide cleanser in my routine?
Morning and evening, after cleanser and before moisturiser... but in the beginning use it only at night for few weeks to give your skin some time to get used to it so it doesn't get irritated.
Hi I love this video but I want to know if I'm applying it correctly I apply at night I first moisturise I let that sit for 2 hours and then I apply the benzoyl peroxide and leave it on overnight and then in the morning wash off with a cleaner, moisturise and apply sunscreen. Is this correct? Thankyou ❤
Hi, it sounds great, but I personally would recommend you to apply BP on clean skin and then moisturiser on top (after 10, 15 min), I believe this should work better. However if moisturiser first works good then keep doing it your way.
Also once your skin get used to Bp is good to start applying it in the morning as well.
Goodluck 🍀
Hi! I started using BP 5% gel 8 days ago. I don't know if I'm using it the right way or not. I apply a tiny dot on my pimple and leave it on for an hour. I don't see any peeling or itching or even irritation. I use it once daily, but after 8 days my acnes gor worse. Is that suppose to happen? Thank you for answer. ♥️
Hey, I replied on your second comment...
in addition to what I said in the previous comment.. I want to also add that applying BP only on the existing pimples won't prevent the formation of new pimples. It's important to apply it on the whole area where you get pimples, for example if you get pimples on your forehead.. make sure to cover the whole forehead.
@@nadiazayatmakeup Sorry, thank you, I have sensitive skin and I am little afraid to leave it on overnight, but I will try it 💋
You mentioned you tried only putting it on the spot where you had pimple, how long before it dried up/
flattened?
Yes, I did that in the past.. It depends on the pimple I guess, usually within few days. But keep in mind that this way of applying BP might help you get rid of certain pimples but it isn't gonna clear the skin from acne. It's best to apply it on the whole area where you get pimples.
Hey can I use African black soap during the morning and add lotion and during the night I use sodium sulfacetamide & sulfur cleanser and then add clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide gel?
Soaps are too harsh, I advice you to avoid them even if they’re advertised as “facial soaps”.
Plz tell me can I use home remedy also when I m using benzoyl perioxide gel??love frm India
Home remedies don’t work for acne, so it’s best not to waste your time, also you might irritate your skin more when doing the home remedies which would cause more acne.
Hai. I'm so hopeful that this will help my skin too. Thank you so much.
Mam when do you suggest to add the step for niacinamide ? Is it for AM or PM?
And does it goes with BP also or Salicylic Acid? I'm confused . Thank you so much
Hi, I think you can’t use niacinamide together with benzoyl peroxide (one after another) but you can use niacinamide in the mornings and BP in the evenings.
However my personal experience is that niacinamide didn’t do anything for my skin. If you have active acne it’s better to use benzoyl peroxide AM and PM and skip niacinamide.
Salicylic acid is only used at night few times a week. It’s a good product for acne. 👍🏼
i use cera ve acne foaming cleanser which has BP 4% in in the am and pm and then do apply sunscreen in the am what do u think about it?
It's fine but you need to also apply moisturiser. And keep in mind that if you have stubborn acne you won't be able to get clean skin using only cleaner with BP (it's not strong enough), in such case it's better to apply BP gel.
Hey
Thank you for explaining BP so patiently and with all necessary details. I am using Benzac AC 2.5% but as a spot treatment and overnight. So I put it on the spot only when a pimple appears there and then leave it overnight. My question is that are you suggesting that we use BP in acne prone areas on a daily basis and not as SOS? For example, my T zone is acne prone so shall I put BP there as a part of my daily skincare?
Secondly, I also like using acne patches on acne spots so shall I put BP and then put a patch on? Will that be fine? Please let me know. Thanks a ton!
Hi, applying BP only the spots simply doesn’t work in my opinion, so yes it’s better to apply it on your T-zone since that’s where you get pimples. Do you get them on the nose though? If you don’t get any on the nose apply it only on the forehead and chin (because the nose tends to peel/gets red more so if you don’t get pimples there don’t apply it there).
Also make sure to start using it slowly.. and increase the amount after few weeks as I explained in the video to reduce the side effects. Goodluck! 🍀🤞🏼
Skip the patches, they’re not needed :)) you can only use patches if you feel like you want to hide some pimples when you’re out but in general there’s no need to use them.
Some acne patches already have some acne products on them so it’s not a good idea to put BP underneath. Use either BP or a patch.
@@nadiazayatmakeup Thank you so much for your response. I will slowly start putting it on my forehead and chin as I don’t get acne on my nose. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

When I use bp in the morning I wash it off after 1 hour then apply moisturizer and then I reapply at night and leave on until the morning is that ok, and also how long should I wait to put on the moisturizer
Hey, I personally wouldn't wash it in the morning at all. Washing your face is irritation and it causes more acne. The first few weeks apply a pea size only at night (don't apply BP in the morning, use only cleanser and moisturiser) ... Once your skin gets used to the pea size you can start increasing the amount, then you can start applying in the mornings as well. Good luck ☘️
pls tell me when to use suncream and what cream i am from india .and pls tell sunscream has to be put after moisturiser or only when we have to go out
Hi Satya, you apply the sunscreen on top of the moisturiser right before you go outside during the day. If you are going outside at night there's no need of sunscreen.
Hi. Which comes first brushing teeth or facial cleansing?
I don’t think it makes any difference but I prefer to brush my teeth first then to wash my face with cleaner so I’m sure there’s no toothpaste left on my face.
Hi there, BP cream 10% worked good on me, but then I stopped for more than 2 weeks cause I got confident that my acne's not coming back but it did. I'm starting to use it again now. I use cetaphil gentle skin cleanser and celeteque hydration moisturizer and hoping for best results, and also I'd like to switch to cetaphil moisturiser if that's ok? Thank you for this wonderful video! ❤❤
Hehe been there, done that :))) I also tried stopping it so many times and when I do the acne comes back (I've reduced the amount I use though) Anyway, the good news is that you might eventually outgrow the acne!
Hey! I just started with BP 10% on alternate nights and on the 2nd night my face is incredibly itchy and red. How did you incorporate BP into your skincare routine, and what products do you use? I'm scared and idk what to do with my face lol
@@ChillHerrerai! I use BP only in the evening after washing my face with a gentle cleanser. (Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser) I only put a small amount of BP since mine's 10% and it can really irritate your skin if you use too much. Also, I don't touch or put anything to my face before using BP (e.g. toner) I wait for at least 10 mins for it to dry then I moisturize my face with celeteque hydration moisturizer. Note that it is very important if your hands or towels are clean. Today, don't have any marks on my face. Hoping for the best! xoxo
@@nadiazayatmakeupI don't have any marks on my face now, and I am so happy I found your video! God Bless to you ❤❤
Hi, thanks for the information. I have a question about the usage. If I have used bp and my acne has almost reduced. Then how long should I keep using bp so that acne doesn't reappear . Should and can I use it lide long in order to not get acne come back?
As far as I know - yes.. you can use it for years. I've been using it for 3 years. The problem is that the moment you stop it the acne will be back. That's why it's important to be used daily so it prevents the skin from forming pimples.
I think at one point your skin might stop being acne-prone and then you can stop using it or reduce it. I believe this is different for everybody though.
@@nadiazayatmakeup thank you so much ❤️ I have started using a bp face wash so that I can use it every day and my other actives as well. Btw u look gorgeous ❤️😍. Loads of love
thank you 🥰❤️❤️❤️
You’re welcome 😊
It is so true..currently I'm using and getting best results ❤
Great to hear that!! 💖
U use it daily?
@@INDIAN-IRANI When I get a lot pimples I steam my face and use it afterwards in night time. I apply a little more in order to recover fast. but if your skin is sensitive use a pea amount.
@@nishanish8809 I have seen in videos that it should be used for four days in a month... U use it daily or u use for few days?
@@nishanish8809 u started using it 10 months before... Still u get pimples?
Hello sis
Please I’d need your advice as I’m just starting the routine. I’m thinking of getting salicylic acid and applying it in the morning after using Nitrogena ultra gentle cleanser and there after use the simple light hydrating moisturiser and at night, use BP 5% with same cleanser and moisturiser.
What do you think?
It sounds good 👌🏼 but it might be too irritating because both salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide tend to dry the skin. Maybe first start with benzoyl peroxide only at night and after a month or two you can add salicylic acids into your morning routine.
I've been prescribed a gel which have benzoyl peroxide 5% and clindamycin 1%.
Do I have to follow the same method?
Also do I have to put a heavy layer or thin layer on my face?
Clindamycin is antibiotic, I’ve never used it so I’m not sure to be honest.. how did your doctor tell you to use it? Cleanser for sure is save to use, question is if you can apply moisturizer after clindamycin?
Hey can you please recommend if my routine is okay?
Morning:
CeraVe SA cleanser
Benzoyl peroxide 4%
CeraVe moisturizing cream
Evening:
SA Cleanser
Adapalene gel
Moisturizing cream
It looks good to me 👍🏼
Hello
Can you please tell me in how much time BP will start showing its results?? As I'm using BP gel from a week and seeing my acne becoming worse and some of acne becoming dry... I've to diagnosed by derma and he has suggested me to use BP gel
hello, everyone is different but I saw results after a month. My skin was completely clean after 6 months.
I've been given a 5% BP gel from my doctors. I've been using it every other night to try reduce the irration but I'm still so itchy, red, dry, flaking and puffy. My skin stings after putting on my fragrance free moisturiser and I have to reapply several times a day to deal with the itching :(
Is there any improvement now? also, how much are you applying? I think a pea-size amount is recommended. I've also been given a gel but with Clindamycin 1% and BP 5%. I'm starting tomorrow but I'm quite nervous. if there's any tips, can you please tell me? (I have sensitive skin)
How are you feeling now?
Did you start with applying only a pea size of it, only at night? If you feel that using it every other night is still too irritating for you maybe try using it only 2, 3 times a week for now. Also you can try another brand BP, there're so many, maybe this particular brand BP irritates your skin more.
Your skin barrier is damaged, don’t use any active for a month and only moisturiser, thrn slowly start bp like 2 times a week, it will be okay
Hi instead can I moisturiser first and then put on benzoyl peroxide ?
Hi, I haven't tried applying them in this order so I'm not sure but a lot of people here in the comments said they use it this way so you can give it a try if you want. If your pimples remain then try applying the moisturiser after the BP and see how it goes.
Will it clear old pimple marks
Hey I started bp clean and clear Persa gel 5. Should I was it off or can I put moisturizer without wash it off?
You don’t need to wash it off, you can apply moisturizer on top of it.
Hey, I just saw your video and I'm excited and nervous at the same time to use benzoyl peroxide for my acne . I just ordered 2.5 % benzoyl peroxide gel by " be minimalist" and it also contains 5% glycolic acid , so my question is will it cause any side effects or make my acne worse ( as it also contains glycolic acid) ?
Hi, it shouldn't cause side effects and for sure it won't make your acne worse. Fingers crossed and good luck ☘️🤞🏼💜
hi is it fine i have a lot of acne i do
- morning
gentle cleanser
moisturize
sunscreen
- Night
gentle cleanser
panoxly bp 10%
moisturize
is this a good routine?
Yes, it sounds good. Later you can start applying BP in the morning as well.
Do I leave the benzoyl peroxide on my face, and wash it off after some time, and then apply moisturizer or do I leave it for a few minutes and then apply moisturizer without washing? My dermatologist advised me to keep bp on only for half an hour... I don't know how to remove it...
As I explained in the video there're two ways to start using benzoyl peroxide in order to reduce the side effects: 1. To apply it for some time, then wash it and apply moisturiser 2. Apply a pea size of BP only once a day (don't wash it) and after 15 min apply moisturiser; Then you can increase the amount every week and applying it twice a day. Please watch the video again.. that has been explain in details there.
Thanks for the video. In your opinion please which is more effective for acne? Benzoyl peroxide or adapalene?
I haven’t used adapalene. Also sometimes doctors suggest both to be used together.
Thanks for your reply.❤
what about using bp face wash to reduce side effects? is it going to be as effective?
The BP face wash isn't as effective as the gel.. if you only get 1, 2 pimples once in a while maybe the face wash would be enough to keep the acne away but if you have mild/severe acne it's better to use the gel.
my skin care routine earlier was :
i wash my face , apply benzoyl peroxide 2.5 for 15 min on my almost all skin and wash it after 15 min and the apply adaplene gel and after 5 min a non oily mosturizer and after that neotrogena ultra sheer sunscreen and at night same
after almost 20 days , actually if 1 pimple is cured at same time i have pimple in other 2 places
so now i have changed it a litttle:
the day routine is same
at night i wash my face and apply benzoyl peroxide and go to sleep without washing it and in morning at first i washmy face and apply adaplene gel and mosturizer and after 2 3 hour i wash my face and then start the morning routine
the face wash i am using is garniner man acnofight face wash
PLESE TELL IS IT GOING RIGHT ? AND PLESE SUGGEST RIGHTS THINGS :)
Hi, your new routine sounds much better. Don't wash the adaplene gel, leave it on, your skin is already used to the treatment, there's no need to wash it. Also no need to apply sunscreen at night. It is only needed in the morning.
How many days it take to remove stage 1 Acne.?😢
Gal Gadot vibes... and yeah thanks, helpful video.
Welcome
How do I even apply moisturizer it’s like sticky after I apply it and I also use clydymicin
It depends on the moisturizer, not all are sticky.
Hello, this video was great and I've learnt a lot!
My doctor just prescribed me Duac Once Daily gel with clindamycin and anhydrous benzoyl peroxide and I've only used it for a couple days. I've been using the method of applying for an hour or two in the even first.
I am struggling to put moisturiser on even though I have really dry skin and use the CeraVe moisturiser, I have waited for it to sink in before putting moisturiser even for about 20-30 minutes but when I do the BP unsettles and splits showing a kind of white substance.
However I do really need to moisturiser as I already have really dry skin plus as you said this makes it worse, any advice?
Thank you so much!
Hmmm I think this might be from the benzoyl peroxide, I've heard that some brands BP don't blend well and look white.
@@nadiazayatmakeup Yes I think so, thank you so much, should I still put the moisturiser on top of the BP even if it makes it move around?
In pm i use moisturizer over the benzoyl cream ??
Yes 👍🏻
Does this works for hormonal acne, I’m a 14 y/o boy and most of the tutorials i watch on the internet are for adult women…
I hope it does. Anyway your video was really helpful and helped me to better understand how a skincare should work 😘
It should work on you! I think mine is hormonal too.
@@nadiazayatmakeup thank you very much 👍👍👍☺️
Hi I just wanted to ask you if what I'm using is okay.
Morning: salicylic acid and thymol face wash
Salicylic acid gel
Moisturiser
Sunscreen when I go out
Night: Same face wash
Benzyl peroxide
Moisturiser
It sounds good 👍🏼
One of the best video I've seen on benzoyl peroxide so far❤️
I have one question....can I use a facewash containing salicylic acid and glycolic acid in it ? Will it excessively dry my skin ?
Thank you so much! 💖 I’ve used cleanser with salicylic acid with benzoyl peroxide and it was fine. You can give it a try and if it’s irritating just stop using it.
@@nadiazayatmakeup one more question 😅 Can i use a gel which contains benzoyl peroxide + 0.1% adapelene ? As i have acne spots and open pores as well
I’ve never used adapelene so I can’t give an advice.. sorry 😣

@@manmeetkaur3802 you’re welcome 💖
Thank you so so much. For the past 2 months ive had the worst acne of my life. Listen, I always got the typical whiteheads of periods but now it started , does not stop and is so so much worse overall. In Belgium unfortunately u can't get BP without prescription but thank God for Netherlands. I'm starting BP today and I really really hope it will work coz my derm appointment is in 3 months 😢
Wish me luck😊
So sorry to hear that! Benzoyl peroxide should help, fingers crossed! ✌🏼
@@nadiazayatmakeup hey thanks for the encouragement ☺️. So far I gotta say it's the ONLY THING that has actually worked. I got the 10% one , and only used it once every 2 days until my skin got used to it and now every evening and it looks like it controlled the inflammation. Unfortunately I was hungover last weekend so forgot to use it ONE evening and some asshole motherfucker came back so I really have to be religious about it but at least it works . Can't wait to see what the derm is gonna say. But your video is a life saver. Thank you
@somebody7070 One night is not a big deal!! It’s more important that you had a good time 🎉🥳
@@nadiazayatmakeup ahah true 😊 but I realized that even one day of not using BP makes my acne come back :/
I’m happy to hear it works for you 🎉 you’re right, consistency is key!
You know you can use it in the morning as well. Now that your skin is used to it, you can apply it twice a day if you feel that once isn’t enough.
can u use it by morning then use sunscreen after? And in evening can use different spot treatment?
Yes, you can use it in the morning then if you're going out apply sunscreen. Technically I think you can use another treatment at night (depends on the treatment though) but BP would work much better if you apply it twice a day. Actually applying it at night would be much more helpful than in the morning.
I don't have cleanser so can I only use the benzoyl peroxide gel on my face and also I don't have moisturizer
I wouldn't recommend that.. you will end up irritating your skin too much and BP on its own won't help for getting rid of the acne. You skin would look worse than before. I advise you to find an affordable cleanser and moisturiser, the 3 products used together will work much better.
Hi mam , thanks for this informative video and now I am facing with moderate acne problem , I am using niacinamide also so can i use niacinamide at mornings and benzoyl peroxide at evening, and some doctors suggested me to use salicylic acid also i am planing to keep salicylic acid for my acne , so please help me with all this🙏 when to use niacinamide , salicylic acid , and benzoyl peroxide
Your skincare routine sounds good. If it doesn't help remove the niacinamide and apply benzoyl peroxide two times a day - in the morning and in he evening.
Love you😍😘😘
Hello ,, I have the Inkey list 5% benzoyl peroxide but I have not started using this.. i use cera ve SA cleanser .. recently I got too many Papules acne on my cheeks .. I started using Neutrogena 2.5% acne gel .. will it really work ? I didn’t apply all over my acne .. I just applied on the active acne’s .. I don’t know how long show I let it stay in my skin,, because benzoyl peroxide gel dries out quickly..can you tell me about how to use the gel
Hi, yes it should work..
"I started using Neutrogena 2.5% acne gel .. will it really work ? I didn’t apply all over my acne .. I just applied on the active acne" .. yes, everything sounds good 👍🏼
How to use it:
1. wash your face with cleaner in the evening
2. the first week or two apply a pea size BP only in the evenings, leave it on overnight
3. wait 15-20 min to dry completely and apply moisturiser
4. wash your face in the morning with cleaner and apply moisturiser
Once your skin gets used to the treatment you can start applying it in the mornings as well and increase the amount of BP slowly.
Everything is explained in the video.
Goodluck!
i've been following your advice 3 weeks ago.. and i think im in my purging stage... may i know, with regards to acne scars, when can i start incorporating glycolic or other acid to address acne scarring? thank you..
Hi Regine, Acne .org advise that you can start using glycolic acid after a month of using BP, but my skin was too irritated so I waited two months. Start slowly with the glycolic acid so you don’t irritate your skin.
@@nadiazayatmakeup 😊 thank you
Hello ! Great video but pls help me out! I have to leave my house for college early in the morning so is it ok if i wash my face, apply benzoyl peroxide and sunscreen together? Since i can't go out without sunscreen. Or should i leave some gap of few minutes between bp and sunscreen??
You can do that.. just don’t apply BP on damp/wet skin.. wash your face, then dress up, have breakfast etc then apply BP .. wait few sec at least and then sunscreen.
@@nadiazayatmakeupthank u so much ! ❤
Hello! If a product is irritating my skin is it possible that it can leave me dark spots? I'm 17 and my dermatology recommended me this but I'm afraid.
How do you use it at the moment?
A pea size benzoyl peroxide for the whole face ??
Hi! I loved your video it helped me so much! I just started using a 2,5% benzoyl peroxide gel and after i apply my moisturiser it burns so much and hurts 😢 and I always wait 10-20 mins before applying to make sure the bp is dry enough. I use the la-Roche posay protective soothing moisturiser (toleriane sensitive cream). Is this normal or should i buy a different moisturiser?? Please help 😢❤
Hi, it's normal in the beginning .. I used to blow the hairdryer (on cold air) into my face to reduce the burning feeling loool it works!
Also the moisturiser matters, I changed couple of moisturisers until I found one that suited my skin the best. I used the Cerave Moisturising Cream, it really helped for the dryness and the redness. When the irritation disappeared I switched to Cerave Moisturising Lotion, which I've been using ever since. Good luck 🍀 and let me know if you have more issues.
@@nadiazayatmakeup thank you so much for your help! i just switched to the same moisturizer you have since i’ve used it before a long time ago, thanks again!
In how much time BP will start showing its results??
@@natsmoonHow's it going now?
@@swisdom9117 it didn’t do anything for my acne so i ended up going to the dermatologist and I personally needed a stronger cream that contained more substances than benzoyl peroxide. So I definitely advise you to go to the doctor!
This video was so helpful!!🌸
Can u tell me if my routine is okay so far please it will be very helpfully!!
Morning- Cetaphil oily cleanser - 5% benzoyl peroxide gel acneside - simple brand toner - sunscreen
Night- Cetaphil cleanser - 5% Benzoyl peroxide gel acneside - Simple brand vitamin c moisturizer.
Please help out!
Hi, In the morning I would skip the toner for now and add moisturiser instead. Sunscreen should be applied only if you're going out. Vitamin C and benzoyl peroxide shouldn't be mixed together. So better get another moisturiser. Good luck 🍀
Thank you!
@@nadiazayatmakeup I’m so sorry but I got my cream mistaken it actually has , vitamin e and b5, glycerin and bisabolo. If it is no disturbance could u tell me if that is okay? I am currently 13 with acne and it’s a pain!
Hmm I’m not sure to be honest; it should be fine if it’s just a moisturizer; What I meant is .. don’t use vitamin C serum with BP as it’s more concentrated.
Can u recommended a BP toner or toner which good for cystic acne,.. Cz i have that worst cystic acne on my t zond & cheeks 😭😭😭
If you follow the skincare routine I recommend - cleanser + BP + moisturiser .. there's no need of toner at all. I actually haven't used toner in a very long time so unfortunately I won't be able to recommend any.
Plzz also tell about sunscreen for oily skin
La Roche Posay ANTHELIOS UVMUNE 400 fluide invisible SFP50+ 50 ml - this is what I’m using at the moment.
I just used benzoyl peroxide (2.5%) as a spot treatment as prescribed by my dermatologist . I first used day before yesterday, on that day I had no reactions on my face .I used it as a spot treatment on face , there wasn't so many pimples , but there were dark acne marks and small comedones. I just apply it on the needed place for almost just one hour at night . But today morning ( the second day) I felt a heat wave on my face . It was not like redness nor inflamed skin , on the places l applied the oilment my skin just burned , it literally feels like the applied just got burned . I only applied a pea size . My face got so heated and burned on that parts . I also applied moisturizer. At now ( night) my face got bumped up on the places I applied the oilment. Can you pls tell me to calm my face where it's burned
If it was prescribed to you by a dermatologist it’s best to contact them and let them know your experience. He or she will examine the skin and can tell you what to do further.
Can I use Sunscreen after using this in the morning?? I'm using this from about 3 months should I go for 5% BP???????
yes, you should apply sunscreen when you go outside because it makes your skin more sensitive to the sun, which means that it could get sunburned more easily.
If you're using 2.5% BP now there's no need to increase the percentage. You can keep using what you're using.
Should i use moisturiser for dry skin for a long time or can i change it after a month??to moisterizer for oily skin
Whatever you feel is best. I used very very rich moisturiser for very dry skin for the first 3 months of BP (because my skin was super dry) and it worked great! Once my skin got used to BP, it wasn't that dry, so that moisturiser felt too heavy and greasy so I switched to a moisturiser for normal skin.
Can I use Dr rashel no white cast vitamin c sunscreen with benzoyl peroxide?
You shouldn't mix benzoyl peroxide with Vitamin C.
Hey I don’t have any active acne rn but got a little texture and acne marks how should i use it
And do i need to wash it of w cleanser or just the water ?
Hi, benzoyl peroxide is for acne only, it won’t help with acne marks and scars.
Do i need to use mosturizing lotion then the mosturizing cream or just one?
I think one is enough.
My derma told me not to leave my bp gel on my face overnight. I usually leave it for about 2 hours then i wash it off and apply my moisturizer. The areas where i put my bp gel is so itchy, is there anything we can do about it?
Hi, so BP unfortunately dries the skin when you first start using it. In order to reduce the dryness, some skin professionals recommend that you only apply it for few hours and then wash it off. Others recommend to apply it overnight BUT start with a pea-size and slowly increase the amount in the following weeks. It's up to you which method you choose to follow.
Although some irritation and dryness in the beginning is normal, it shouldn't be painful or too much. Few ways to reduce the irritation - 1. as I said start by applying a pea-size and slowly increase the amount. 2. Applying good moisturiser can really help! Look for a rich moisturiser for DRY skin. 3. Also observe your skin, if it gets too red, stop applying BP for a day or two, then start again. You just need to introduce it your skin slowly .. once your skin gets used to it, the side effects will drastically improve. 4. We are often told to apply BP all over the face, but that's not needed. Apply it only on the areas where you get pimples.
Good luck ☘️ and finger crossed! Don't give up, the treatment works.
hi thanks for the tips!! i usually apply niacinamide serum after cleanser
so cleanser- serum - moisturiser- Bp is it okay???
I recommend buying an epiduo gel(benzoyl+adaphelene) as only benzoyl peroxide might leave stubborn spots on your face
@@Gorillllllaa thanksss but can I apply niacinamide serum before BP and then moisturiser??
We break out in the same exact places 😂 I started using benzoyl peroxide only at night about 5 days ago and so far I think it's helping my pimples. I also switched to Cetaphil face cleanser and I use cera ve moisturizer 😁 I also never go outside 😂 so I don't use a sunscreen😬
Yay! Your routine sounds great! Finger crossed it works 🤞🏼💖
Hey which one do u use i mean the moisterizer and how’s it going for u rn
Are u now okayyy ???
Can we leave it overnight?
Yes, I leave it overnight
I usually don't get acne but I seem to breakout easier than I used since reaching my 30s.
Adult acne is common especially with women 🥲
Same. I had almost no acne as a teen, but now in my late 20's my face is full of them specially my cheeks and forehead. Its been 3 days since I started and I actually do see some improvements already. The tiny whiteheads on my jaw aren't red anymore and are little smaller in size. Hopefully they all clear up soon.
😢 same
Hi
Can i apply a cream or lotion after applying the moisturiser ??
Yes, you can. But why do you want to apply two products that do the same thing?
