Could I be allergic to benzoyl peroxide?

How to i get rid of acne when allergic to benzoyl peroxide?

  • I need something that WILL work! I am allergic to benzoyl peroxide i wasn't always allergic to it because it worked on my skin before, but now all the products with benzoyl peroxide makes my skin react really badly. I have really STUBBORN and SENSETIVE acne and really need something that works. THis is what i have used and either my skin reacted to it or it doesn't work: -oxy -proactive -aveno bar -acne free -neutrogena rapid clear -clean and clear cleanser -st.ives appricot scrub -olay cleansers

  • Answer:

    Proactiv has a Sulfur Refining mask that works GREAT!!! Also you could get something with just solisic acid (sorry about the spelling!) Or you can go to a doctor and they can prescribe you something that does not have bensoyl peroxide in it.

There are plenty of prescriptions pills and retinol creams that don't have benzoyl peroxide in them. Go to a dermatologist and see what they have to say.

Don't use any acne product if your skin is reacting to one of them cause if you think about, the acne product that burns when you use it is made of the same ingredient - silisic acid (in other words, lemon juice) that will cause the burning and it gives you a sign that it's working right? wrong! THat's another commercial scam. Every product, every brand tha burns a little has one main ingredient that convinces the users that the burning is telling them that the acne is slowly removing, but it's only slowly reacting to your skin. Washing your face with soap and water everyday is just the same as wasting money on acne product, except that it actually works. For ex: the commercial says that proactive will clean your skin, if that's the case than what the hell is soap and water meant for ? The best option is to go to the doctor to find out what type of skin cream is best for you and get that skin cream from a pharmacy, it's better and cheaper too.
