View allI'm trying to figure out the best time to use benzoyl peroxide gel 2.5. Like, should I put it on in the morning or at night? I've heard different things, and I'm honestly not sure what would be most effective. Does it matter when I apply it, or can I use it whenever?

I've been dealing with acne on my chest and back for a bit now and was wondering if it's okay to use Candid B dusting powder for it. Do you think that would help, or is there something else I should try?
Candid B dusting powder contains Clotrimazole and Beclomethasone. It is primarily used for fungal skin infections and not specifically for acne. For acne on the chest and back, it is recommended to use topical treatments containing Benzoyl Peroxide or Salicylic Acid. You can try using Benzac AC gel or Salicylic Acid cleanser for your acne. Apply a thin layer of Benzac AC gel once daily or use the Salicylic Acid cleanser to wash the affected areas twice a day.
