>>324049Hello, thread hijack in process, I just bought a 5% benzoyde peroxide cream at the pharmacy yesterday. I have some mild acne, nothing serious. How long does it take for it to work? Did your skin get dry? Does it burn a little when you apply yours?
You should have looked for 2.5%. It's been shown to have the same advantages with less irration when compared to 5% and 10%. It doesn't burn per se(it will start to if you leave it on too long), but you will feel it. I would recommend buying a non-comedeogenic moisturizer (won't clog pores), cetophil is what I use. I wash my face with the benzoyl peroxide then moisturize in the morning and evening. My face is a bit red (either from dry skin, irritation, or peeling affect) but the results are great. I'd expect to see results within the first week, dramatic results within month or so.
