I'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'm wondering about how effective benzac AC is for mild acne. Can I expect to see results in just a couple of weeks, or does it usually take longer? Also, I've heard some treatments can initially worsen acne before it gets better. Is that the case with benzac AC? And should I be concerned about it burning or irritating my skin?

Benzac AC, which contains benzoyl peroxide, is commonly used to treat mild to moderate acne. It typically takes about 4-6 weeks to see significant improvement in acne with regular use. Some people may experience an initial worsening of acne when they first start using Benzac AC, but this is usually temporary and should improve with continued use. Benzac AC may cause mild irritation, redness, or peeling of the skin, especially when starting treatment. It is important to start with a lower concentration and gradually increase as tolerated to minimize skin irritation.

You can use it but further evaluation is required to rule out cause of pigmentation,visit your Dermatologist for appropriate treatment and take well balanced diet and stay hydrated.
