Suffering From Acne On Face. On OXY Benzoyl Peroxide. What Is The Reason? Are There Side Effects?
Hello,
I am suffering from acne all over my face. I have been using OXY 10% benzoyl peroxide and to some extent it has helped me get a clear skin. But as soon as I stop using it acne seems to come back. What is the reason behind it? Am I suppose to use the product always? As I use high percentage benzoyl peroxide do you think it will have any side effects?
