Acne can be frustrating, but with the right routine, it can improve. Since you are using benzoyl peroxide, here are some steps to make it work better:
Daily Skincare Routine
Wash your face twice a day – Use a gentle, oil-free cleanser without scrubbing.
Apply benzoyl peroxide – Use a thin layer on acne-prone areas once a day. Increase to twice daily if your skin can handle it.
Moisturize – Choose a light, oil-free moisturizer to prevent dryness.
Use sunscreen – Benzoyl peroxide can make your skin sensitive to the sun, so apply an oil-free SPF 30+ sunscreen every morning.
Other Helpful Tips
Do not pop pimples, as this can make acne worse and cause scars.
Wash pillowcases and towels often to prevent oil and dirt buildup.
Eat a balanced diet and avoid too much dairy or sugary foods, as they can trigger breakouts.
Manage stress, as it can worsen acne. Getting enough sleep and staying hydrated also help.
When to See a Doctor
If your acne does not improve in six to eight weeks or if you have painful breakouts, a dermatologist can prescribe stronger treatments such as retinoids or antibiotics.
