I have been using the Benzoyle Peroxide for almost five 5 years to combat my acne. Before I used the 10%, but I found it so strong to my sensitive skin. So, I switched to the 5%, it was not that strong with that of previous one, but it leave red marks on my face which last for 3-4 days.

I use only this product during the day time as I am using Retin-A at night .I only put a pea size on the affected area, because if I apply on my whole face it makes my skin so dry and flaky for the next day. Although my skin can tolerate the 5% strength, I can still feel the sting and itch on my face.
To date, I am still using the 5% of Benzac Gel as part of my acne regimen. But, I do it on every other day.
I found also over the net that the 2.5% is much better than of the 5%. It claims a lot of reviews that even a sensitive skin can tolerate the strength of 2.5%. Some says that their faces do not feel dry or itchy even they use it every day. Hmmm…this sounds great. I will try this and see if it works for me. Until my next post….:)
