benzoyl - #17350

I have been struggling with acne for years now, and it seems like no matter what treatments I try, I can't seem to get rid of it. My skin is constantly breaking out, particularly around my cheeks and chin, and it's starting to really affect my confidence. I've tried different kinds of skincare products and even gone for facials, but nothing seems to work long-term. Recently, I was advised by a friend to try a product containing benzoyl peroxide. I’ve heard about benzoyl being effective for acne, but I still have some concerns about how it works and whether it’s right for me. When I applied a benzoyl peroxide treatment for the first time, I noticed some redness and slight irritation, which worried me. The packaging mentions that it might cause dryness or peeling, but I wasn’t sure if I was using it too frequently. I’ve read that benzoyl peroxide works by reducing acne-causing bacteria and reducing oil production, but I’m unsure of how long it might take to show results and whether it could make my acne worse before it gets better. Does anyone else have experience using benzoyl peroxide for acne treatment? How long did it take before you saw significant improvement in your skin? I’m also curious if benzoyl is safe to use on sensitive skin since my skin is a bit on the sensitive side, especially after using acne treatments in the past. Additionally, I've heard that overusing benzoyl can lead to dryness and irritation. How can I use it without damaging my skin further? Is it necessary to moisturize after using benzoyl peroxide, and if so, what type of moisturizer works best without clogging the pores? I also wonder if there are any Ayurvedic remedies that can complement benzoyl peroxide and support healthy skin. I’ve read about neem and turmeric, and I’m curious if they can help reduce inflammation or assist in healing the skin while using benzoyl. I’m looking for a way to finally treat my acne effectively, without irritating my skin. Has anyone had success with benzoyl peroxide in combination with other natural treatments? What was your experience like, and how did you manage any irritation?
