The regimen worked, and I am clear now. Do I need to keep using the benzoyl peroxide?

Heal acne with ClearPores : Frequent Asked Questions
Benzoyl peroxide is said to be comedolytic which means it breaks down clogged pores. However, there is no miracle product that I know of that can quickly get rid of a full fledged pimple once it has established itself on your skin. However, benzoyl peroxide can clear up acne faster than would be possible without benzoyl peroxide and does a brilliant job at preventing future acne. For even better spot treatment results, alpha hydroxy acid can be administered.

Heal acne with ClearPores : Frequent Asked Questions
is best. However, anything up to 5% should most likely be fine, albeit more drying and no more effective. Avoid 10% preparations which will over dry. One exception when dealing with pimples on the back. The skin in this area is tough and may withstand 10% nicely. If you can find a 10% for much cheaper, you may want to try it on the back. It will not be more effective than a 2.5% solution, but may save you money.

What do you think of Proactiv? And where can I find other Proactiv Solution Reviews?

Heal acne with ClearPores : Frequent Asked Questions
Proactiv is on the right track, but some major flaws seem to prevent it from delivering on its promises to many people. In my opinion, the cleanser they include is overly irritating. Furthermore, they tell you to wash for one to two minutes which adds to the irritation. The benzoyl peroxide they provide is 2.5% which is a good call. However, they recommend a "thin layer".

Can I use my usual shampoo, conditioner, mousse, gel, hairspray, etc. while I'm using ProCede?

How does Benzoyl Peroxide help to cure acne?

mejumuxenepi: December 2006
Benzoyl peroxide helps to cure acne by breaking down dead cells on the surface of the skin. This helps to unblock the sebaceous glands. This in turn, allows the sebum that the sebaceous glands secrete, to escape, rather than become trapped in the pores. Benzoyl peroxide also helps to kill the bacteria that feed on the sebum and cause the blockages in the first place, thus it helps with all the areas that can cause or exacerbate acne.

My skin is burning and/or red after I apply the benzoyl peroxide. Is that normal?

Heal acne with ClearPores : Frequent Asked Questions
I experience a very tolerable low level of what one might describe as "burning". Many people who begin my regimen report redness for the first couple of weeks, after which time the redness subsides. If you start the regimen too quickly and you have sensitive skin, you should absolutely expect redness/dryness, sometimes severe. If you are new to benzoyl peroxide, it is a good idea to use just a light coating of benzoyl peroxide at first, and up the dosage over a period of a couple of weeks.

Is it safe to use this while using BP gel?

Blue/red light faq - Acne.org Message Boards
Safe, yes. Worth using BP at the same time? Probably not. The blue light does the same thing that BP does, except without dryness or peeling, and it's a lot less messy.~~~~ far as the DermaStyle goes, its main purpose isn't to treat the whole face at one time. Its main use should be to treat single pimples, although it can be used to treat small areas too. However, because it is only a single LED it can be time consuming to treat large areas.
