Tips & Warnings
Use only an oil-free lotion that does not contain comedogenic oils or waxes, which can clog the pores.
Follow these steps twice per day; once in the morning and again in the evening.
Avoid the eye area when applying benzoyl peroxide creams or oil-free lotions. The oil-free lotion, when smoothed over the benzoyl peroxide cream, will contain a small amount of benzoyl peroxide cream.
Using a benzoyl peroxide cream higher than 2.5% in strength will irritate the skin causing peeling, itching, redness, and can even cause a mild chemical burn.
