I've had personal experience with using benzoyl peroxide cream gel for treating acne, and it's been quite effective for me. When I first started using it, I noticed that it did a great job of drying out my pimples and reducing redness. The key, though, is to start slow—using it every other day or so, especially if you have sensitive skin like I do. At first, I experienced some dryness and peeling, but that went away after my skin got used to the product.
I also learned that it’s important to moisturize well and use sunscreen daily because benzoyl peroxide can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Over time, I saw a noticeable improvement in the number of breakouts and my skin started to clear up.
If you're thinking about trying it, I’d recommend giving it a shot, but be patient and consistent. And as always, it’s a good idea to check in with a dermatologist, especially if your acne is severe or if you’re unsure about how your skin will react.
