Question

Hey, I've been dealing with a really oily face and it's becoming quite frustrating. I recently came across Brevoxyl creamy wash and was wondering if I could use it daily instead of my regular soap to help with the oiliness. Is it safe to use every day, or could it cause any issues with my skin? Would love some guidance!

  1. Effectiveness: Brevoxyl creamy wash with 4% benzoyl peroxide can help control oily skin and acne by reducing bacteria and excess oil.

  2. Potential Irritation: Daily use may cause dryness, redness, or peeling, especially if your skin is sensitive or new to benzoyl peroxide.

  3. Usage Tips: a. Start with every other day application. b. Gradually increase to daily use if your skin tolerates it well.

  4. Moisturizing: Use a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent excessive dryness.

  5. Sun Sensitivity: Apply sunscreen daily as benzoyl peroxide can increase sun sensitivity.

  6. Consultation: If irritation or skin issues worsen, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.

In summary, Brevoxyl can be safe for daily use on oily skin, but start slowly and monitor your skin's response. Always use a moisturizer and sunscreen for optimal results.
