Everything You Know About Benzoyl Peroxide

Precautions

Don't get ahead of yourselves. Men, you've got to start benzoyl peroxide slowly! That's how you avoid lots of the side effects. Men, you know what to do. Use your product every other day for a couple weeks. Apply moisturizer a lot to help your skin adjust! You've also got the option of applying moisturizer before a benzoyl peroxide spot treatment. That's called buffering! After a couple of weeks, you can use benzoyl peroxide every day.

Slather on sunscreen, men. This med makes you a lot more sensitive to the sun! Don't let your skin burn; it's not pretty that way. And men? Protect your clothes! Put them on before you reach for benzoyl peroxide. Wash your hands with soap and water right after you're done applying it. This med stains fabrics, so it can't touch anything when it's wet. Nothing!
