I also was using benzoyl peroxide 4% face wash for the first 2 or 3 months and then discontinued that afterwards as well.

[acne] follow up to what cleared my forehead bumps

Night - panoxly 4% benzoyl peroxide wash on forehead I let it sit for 30 seconds then rinse then pat my skin but leave it damp and apply aveenoo triple oat serum
I literally saw that the bumps shrunk by the next night but they fully went away I’d say by a week and now I just use my routine as maintenance:)
I've only used the BP wash twice so take this with a grain of salt, but my skin immediately looked better the next day. It is very drying though, so I'd recommend using it 2-3 times a week and then slowly build up usage from there.

Using Differin .1% At Home Effectively for Mild-to-Moderate Acne

102 pts · 10 comments

I recommend finding it in a wash, such as PanOxyl, or Differin's brand "Daily Deep" Cleanser, which contains 5% Benzoyl Peroxide.
To use a benzoyl peroxide cleanser, follow the instructions on the bottle, after removing any sunscreen and makeup with an oil-cleanser.
If your skin feels particularly raw, painful, or chapped from the introduction of BP, cut down on frequency, use it on the "rest" day that you aren't using Differin, or remove it all together to let your skin heal before re-introducing.

I just started getting this recently. Lately I’ve been clipping my hair up in the shower while my conditioner sits, rinsing, clipping back up after rinse, and then washing my shoulders/back/neck with Panoxyl 4%.
What has worked best for me is a 4% benzoyl peroxide cleanser by panoxyl.
They also have a 10%, but it’s too harsh for me personally.
