I am allergic to Benzoyl Peroxide, what can I do for acne that actually works?

When I tried Proactiv it gave me a huge, dry rash around my nose and cheeks. Someone told me it is most likely the ingredient Benzoyl Peroxide... And I've tried many that do not have it in that don't work at all. Asked by CaramelSagwa 6 months ago Similar questions: allergic Benzoyl Peroxide acne works Health > Allergies.

Watch your diet, drink lots of water and wah your face with warm water and liquid Neutrogena unscented few times a day. End each wash with Witch Hazel. My adult children did that since they were teenagers and now in their 30's their skin is incredible.

See the links of the products we use here at home for the oast 25 years daily. I buy them at Harmon because it is the cheapest around New Jersey. Html.

Thank you so much! :) CaramelSagwa 5 months ago .

I really don't drink water at all... I'm a tea person and I was told to drink more, but it doesn't taste good to me. Even fresh spring water. I will try.

I have water bottles at home. I am watching my diet. :) I try to eat healthier things... I'm not overweight, but I do love having low cost fast food when I'm in a hurry.

I've started eating cucumber sandwichs and asparagus soup instead. I wash my face with Neutrogena's blackhead eraser lol... I think it's Neutrogena. I think it works a little bit, but my acne isn't gone.

Add some drops of lemon to the water if you have to have some flavor. Water cleanses the body. If you get rashes from products maybe a good Calendula Cream (homeopatic) is the answer.

See link. I cannot say enough about this cream. I had a terrible rash that was caused by an ointment for eczema.It looked like I had third degree burns until I realized the prescribed medication was the cause.

It took me exactly 16 days to bring my skin back to normal simply by washing the area with warm water few times a day, gently drying it with a soft cloth and applying the cream liberaly. The area had such high temperature that I applied ice compresses the first few days. The Calendula cream (Marigold extracts) was recommended by a homeopatic doctor (family friend).

Each time I applied it, my skin felt better and now I have few tubes of the cream around the house. I also bought the Calendula ointment but I did not care for the stickiness and scent. Not even my cat liked it although was working nicely, too.

I bought them at Vitacost. Com but I would check at Amazon or other sites for a better price.Com/Nature-Works-Calendula-Cream.

Thank you :) I love tea~ haha. CaramelSagwa 5 months ago .

I get that rash around nose and cheeks from antibiotic soap and the garlic I take every day for its antibiotic properties. Could there be a secondary cause? But I like 's answer for it being different yet proven.

Yeah. Like I said, I don't know for sure if it's Benzoyl Peroxide, but I always get the rash with it in the products. CaramelSagwa 5 months ago .

Try something milder, like plain old 3% Hydrogen Peroxide. Dab it on three times a day with a clean new cotton ball. It does wonders for drying up skin.It's never advertised as it's a generic drug with no great money-making potential for anyone, but it still works really well.

Dry skin and peeling is not an allergic reaction to Benzoyl Peroxide, it's a natural reaction if used excessively. It tells you to decrease the frequency of use if dryness, redness, or peeling occurs. The others have given you other great advice.

Thanks. A face lady did tell me I have very dry skin naturally, but it felt like ProActiv and some other acne products made it worse and caused the rash. CaramelSagwa 5 months ago .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
