[@ZOE-xv3mx]

Benzoyl peroxide DO NOT MIX WITH: 1. Vitamin C 2. Hydroquinone 3. Tretinion 4. Retinol

[@maryruth8851]

thank you

[@Beyourselfqueen444]

Hydro like hylurunic acid ??

[@sporty_gazelle]

​@@Beyourselfqueen444no they r not the same

[@sporty_gazelle]

​@@Beyourselfqueen444lacid hyallluronique u can use it

[@hewad378]

I have a benzoyl peroxide wash, should I not use it with my vitamin c moisturiser in the morning?

[@lovesara310]

Omg finally an answer to if I can use a BP wash and then Vit C serum then sunscreen 🙌!! Thank you!!

[@SarahColledge]

Thank you for this video! I was looking for confirmation that a BP cleanser wouldn't negatively affect the rest of my routine and this is the only mention I could find - and it's from a dermatologist, perfect!

[@VonDrick]

This video gave me a relief! I’ve been using Cerave’s Benzoyl Peroxide Foaming Cleanser morning and night to cleanse, and then I apply Cerave’s Acne Control Gel (Which is Salycilic acid) and Cerave’s Retinol Resurfacing Serum on alternating nights! It always made me worry if I’m mixing those ingredients at all which explained from this video and other sites that I’ve read that it is wrong to do that, but after watching this video, it confirmed me that what I’m doing is alright (hopefully) since my Benzoyl Peroxide is a cleanser which I rinse with water and is removed before applying the other leave-on active ingredients I use which are Salycilic Acid and Retinol on alternating nights.

[@gapoochigapoochi]

Can we use tretnoin and salicylic acid together? Plsss help

[@rcmcdonald01]

Cerave website says you can cleanse with the bpo and use the acne control gel to treat . Then lotion so I would say it's fine

[@sabrinahaqueshoily3453]

​@@gapoochigapoochi you can use salicylic acid cleanser and tretinoin. It won't cause irritation

[@vincenzomarzocca6492]

Thanks professional colleague..you are an exellent comunicator ! From an italian Dermatologist !😊

[@sujatha8267]

Okay I can't gatekeep anymore, but I basically have PCOD and extremely damaged acne prone skin barrier, I started using a basic facewash (Vit e based) and I apply the Cosrx snail mucin on damp skin and then apply benzoyl peroxide for my acne following up with sunscreen (if required) and honestly this has been a GAME CHANGER FOR ME, who would've thought Snail Mucin + Benzoyl peroxide could be such a deadly combination!!!!

[@TikerrahYoung]

I would love a video that tells you additional products to use while on benzoyl wash, tretonin, and clindamycin. My dermatologist in the Navy seem to avoid my questions when I ask what else can I use in conjunction with all these (i.e. serums, type of moisturizer, apply tree before or after moisturizer)

[@maysaaal8778]

Can u say it simply please?

[@BluezConcepts]

I always used it in a cleanser!! But was scared for interference! Thanks for clearing this all up!

[@ZohaAshfaq-l4m]

i use the differin bp cleanser in the am followed with my rosewater toner(optional; still trying to find a good hydrating toner) and vanicream lotion, spf. in the pm i use bioderma micellar to remove makeup, then use vanicream gentle cleanser, optional toner and vanicream lotion, after 20mins of my pm skincare i apply my prescription azaliec/niacinamide combo treatment. key takeway: acne fighting: bp in am, azaleic in pm, both pregnancy safe, if not pregnant can use tret/or oral spiro. hydration: vanicream cleanser and lotion. makeup remover: bioderma micellar. toner: optional

[@deadroomeyes8965]

Holy crap im so glad I watched this because i was just about to ditch my benzoyl wash ive been using for 10 years.

[@anqili9861]

Thank you so much, Dr. Liu! You've answered the question that has bothered me for so long :) Really appreciate your knowledge and expertise.

[@MsLinoi]

Just got a prescription which contains benzol peroxide + Adapalene. Mostly got here to figure out, if I can still use salicylic acid (maybe in the AM under SPF 50?) Also thought I'd mention it as the Retinoid + Benzoyl peroxide rule definitely doesn't go if those two are formulated together ☺️

[@Zainaabdelhai]

Did u find the answer? I have the same issue and i love using salicylic acid wash in the morning and my prescription at night

[@MsLinoi]

@@Zainaabdelhai I'm using a serum/ toner with salicylic acids under my sunscreen! It isn't the strongest so it works while using the prescription at night. In the beginning, I only used my prescription 2-3 times a week though and paused using salicylic acid/ only used it on ny bacne. I reintroduced it after the irritation went down.

[@Zainaabdelhai]

@@MsLinoi and then at night u use the adapalene prescription right? R u seeing results? Im two months in and honestly barely seeing any results my skin is glowing tho

[@MsLinoi]

@@Zainaabdelhai it took some time for me too. The Benzoylperoxide worked pretty much immediately, but the adapalene was rather slowly. After 3-4 months, my skintone looks more even though & I feel like my pores are getting a little less obvious. When I don't do my routine for a couple days, it gets super obvious what it's doing for me though 😂 a month ago my skin went wild after I went camping with my dad.

[@Zainaabdelhai]

@@MsLinoi oh no i hope your skin got better now? Acne can be super frustrating so i understand you. I am using clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide cream along with differin so im hoping i see changes soon. I was gonna give up on differin lol but its good to know that it takes time i will go repurchase another one soon

[@yodacee22]

I’ve been looking for an answer for hours if I can use Vitamin C serum after BP cleanser!! Thank you so much for the help!

[@llcolumbus9638]

Thank you so much for clarifying this😺 BP is such a great acne treatment😻

[@drew-citizenX9a48]

You can mix it with Azelaic Acid, which is a less irritating but still as effective alternative to retinol

[@illberunningaround89]

Absolutely loved this, thank you so much! Suoer helpful to hear that if Im using BP in a cleanser, I can still totally use my Vitamin C. 🙏🏼

[@Rarwiorrrx3]

Id love to hear your thoughts on the AcneFree Oil Free Acne Cream Cleanser 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide Treatment since you already are familiar with the Panoxyl and Cerave 4% washes. Nobody else on youtube even really mentions this when its the most affordable wash off BP option I've seen :)

[@OmoyeniOdunlami]

I currently use the AcneFree 2.5% BP cleanser and it's awesome.

[@AhiLifestyle]

BPO is my favorite ingredient for clean skin!

[@vanessawearbrazil]

Very useful video! Thank you. I use benzoyl peroxide treatment all over everyday… if I don’t I break out next day and my acne’s are like hormonal I believe. It comes 3 in one huge very painful and last for ever😢 but this treatment I’m using has helped a lot. I don’t break out unless I skip a day or two

[@YenniD_2011]

I would like a skin care routine with benzoyl peroxide

[@rayaadbaksh3728]

Hi I have really bad break out after eating nut and I went to the pharmacy yesterday and I got benzoyl peroxide gel and Adaaplane to mix same amount together and use it and from last night to now it clearing up I see great result....

[@teeheeheetee1677]

can I use benzoyl peroxide with glycolic acid?

[@WilliamsPinch]

Benzoyl Peroxide soap works for my Eczema and B.O. So if you’re musty… get the panoxyl bar soap.

[@ap1426]

BPO is formulated with topical retinoid (adapalene) in a prescription medicine called Epiduo Forte. How does it work then? If I use an eye cream with retinol and Epiduo Forte for the rest of my face, will the retinol from the eye cream oxidize? Thank you so much for your informative content ❤️ loving it!

[@Rarwiorrrx3]

Her other video about benzoyl peroxide explains this :) adapalene is not light/oxygen sensitive like other retinoids.

[@tedoymisojos]

I disagree with the statement that BP is just as effective in wash form as in leave-on form. Same with BHA. Washing my face with BHA does not sufficiently unclog pores, but If I leave on a BHA lotion on my face the pore situation is remarkably better by the evening. Same with BP. If I leave it on the body and if I use 5% instead of 2.5% (on the body) Its more effective (judging by how inflamed the acne is, by how reccurent brekouts are, and by how quickly they go away).

[@svetlanasimonyan489]

Does this mean that I can use a BPO cleanser, wash it off and apply my Vitamin C serum on dry skin? Would that be safe? Also, is it correct to use these products as AM acne-prone skin care routine: Cerave acne foaming cleanser - Vitamin C - Azelaic acid 10% emulsion - moisturizer -SPF Thanks!

[@isratjahankhannahin9175]

Is benzoyl peroxide cream harsh for the skin? Does it kills good skin cells and breaks down collagen?

[@glamdoll7864]

I wanna know this answer too

[@_anthonyyyyy_]

so i’m using tretinoin 0.1%, what facial cleansers would you recommend? or should i not use any?

[@bhumikabhabapriya9062]

Omg the video I needed after searchin first 2 days🥺

[@Xyz-ld7dd]

Can we use a moisturizer containing hyaluronic acid after using 2.5% benzoyl peroxide gel?

[@Jur2993]

Hi Dr. Jenny. Im not sure if you are replying to comments but If you can i just need to confirm: I can use Panoxyl 4% BP Cream wash then apply Differin Adapalene Gel 0.1% right?

[@AWhite-wo9pz]

What about other forms of antioxidants/ antioxidant-rich ingredients like niacinamide, vitamin E, green tea, etc. other than vitamin C? Can these be used with BPO or will they be degraded as well? I can find almost no information online that answers this question.

[@sakshithakare1837]

You can use niacinamide

[@deanieiliyah210]

i think all of these can be used with BPO!

[@sparshmaheshwari4523]

I want skin just like you. I am using BP for my acne in morning and tretinoin 0.05 at night while also moisturizing. Thankfully I am already seeing the results even though its only been a week.

[@mahmudahoque5543]

No

[@luzgutierrez2310]

[@idktbh5766]

No

[@EvelynTaylor-i5c]

Alternate SA, IN THE AM; BPO at night. Dr Liu suggested BPO as a cleanser🤞

[@浩然-s7g]

Is tranexamic acid safe to use together with BPO at PM?

[@amf565]

So I just started using 0.005% Tret & I have been using PanOxyl for YEARS. My dermatologist told me it was okay to keep using PanOxyl as my cleanser while using Tret twice a week. Do you say to avoid since it can irritate my skin more? So far I’ve been very lucky with my face not drying out often or feeling irritated the next morning.

[@OmoyeniOdunlami]

She has answered this already. She says a tip is to use Benzoyl peroxide AS a cleanser instead

[@cosna893]

@@OmoyeniOdunlamidoes that just mean wash it off?

How could I incorporate an azelaic acid in my routine? Every morning I cleanse with a benzoyl wash, vit c, niacinamide, moisturizer and spf. At night I use a gentle Cerave wash, moisturizer and tretinoin

[@m__7512]

Hiya, Thanks for the tips ❤ I just wondered - if I’m using the epiduo gel which contains benzoyl (2.5%) peroxide and retinoid ( 0.1%) I use it at night. Is it good to use a cleanser with benzoyl peroxide instead some nights or use both for best results or would that be to much?

[@ryann6585]

Thank you Dr. Liu! You just saved me some money. I'm ditching my dedicated benzoyl peroxide gel to use the cleanser. Much more affordable and manageable that way.
