Taking it less often, like every other day, is sufficient to keep acne at bay.

What If You Forget to Use It?

It makes no difference if you neglect to use the benzoyl peroxide. When you recall, use it once or twice a day in the same manner as previously.

What If You Use It Excessively?

Your skin may get inflamed if you use too much benzoyl peroxide. Wash off as much as possible and wait for the irritation to subside. You may resume using benzoyl peroxide cleanser after your skin has calmed down. Follow the directions on the packaging carefully.
