What side effects should I expect?
The most common side effects are dryness, itching, mild irritation, light peeling, and redness. It would help if you always started with a patch test to ensure you do not have a more severe reaction. You should avoid using Benzoyl Peroxide with other medications that dry out or irritate your skin. You should consult a doctor for any concerns or severe reactions.
