As a person who is in his mid-late 20's who has struggled with acne for most of my life, I have some information that may be useful as I have researched and tried everything, including prescriptions.
If a person is sensitive to Benzoyl Peroxide, you should not use this product. With all Benzoyl Peroxide products, it will irritate the skin of anybody sensitive to it. This doesn't exactly mean that you have sensitive skin, but that you are sensitive to this medication. You would also have this problem with other over the counter medications containing this drug.
Now to the good stuff.
Read and follow the instructions. Step 1 is the cleanser, so massage it into your face and wash it off. Step 2 is the toner, so apply it with a cotton PAD (not a BALL). After the toner has dried, apply step 3 with another cotton pad in a LIGHT layer.
Now for the final step which is on the step 3 bottle as a recommendation. I'd actually consider this a requirement. USE AN SPF MOISTURIZER. I use Neutrogena's oil-free moisturizer with SPF-15. This is going to greatly reduce any redness and dryness. You will probably be sorry if you do not use a moisturizer with this as Benzoyl Peroxide is very drying and irritating. The step 3 lotion is not a moisturizer.
Again, read and follow the instructions and use a moisturizer. I can only speak from experience, but following this method will give you the most amount of effectiveness and the least amount of side effects. Get more detail about
