Dry patches of skin where I used benzoyl peroxide... how do I fix it?


Question Posted Monday June 13 2011, 8:47 pm

i don't have dry skin, maybe slightly combination skin but it's normally oily.

A week ago i had a horrible break out so i used tea tree oil (diluted) and when that didn't give me immediate relief, i bought a benzoyl peroxide product and i'm 100% sure i overused it.

The places where i broke out now have dry patches of skin w/ the acne now gone. i've been putting a 'normal to dry skin' moisturizer on it, but i have to keep applying it for it to feel 'moisturized'

IS there anything I can use to get it to peel and keep it moisturized? maybe something i can get from inside the house? AND no exfoliation advice please (it hurts).

i would recommend you to visit your dermatologist. They would be able to give you some sound advice.

Use aveeno products. There's a special one for sensitive skin. Their products are the best and they keep my skin so smooth :)

Actually you didn't overuse any product. When you use acne products, the acne goes away but comes with side affects. Dry skin and peeling is one of them.

Visit this site to read more on benzoyl peroxide and scroll down for a list of possible side effects.
