Some one told me that Benzoyl Peroxide is good for removing the pimple, but when I apply this chemical on my face first time my facial skin becomes red. Is it Ok?
Yes I also get the redness on my face apart from the burning feeling on the face when I have applied the benzoyl peroxide for the first time but after two weeks it subsides. I think our body needs some time to accustom with the benzyl alcohol. This chemical is really good. I have applied it for 2months and now my face is clean, no trace of pimple.
[i]I think it is the usual side effect of Benzoyl peroxide, it seems that you are new and did not know anything about the benzoyl peroxide. I advice you to study the properties of this chemical and also consult your family doctor. Anyway initially apply this chemical very slightly and than go on increasing the quantity slowly after one week. [/i]
