View allI'm a bit worried because I've been using peroclin 5 for a year now, and the results have been good, but lately, I've noticed that the cream is really watery and doesn't dry up like it used to. I'm not sure if this is because they're making it differently or if it's just the hot weather. If it doesn't dry, I'm concerned it might not be as effective for my acne. Do you know of any alternatives to peroclin that could help me out?
Peroclin 5% is a benzoyl peroxide-based cream. The watery consistency might be due to the manufacturer's formulation change or storage conditions. Alternatives to Peroclin 5%: 1. *Benzoyl peroxide gels* (2.5% or 5%): Neutrogena, Clearasil, or generic versions. 2. *Adapalene gel* (0.1%): Differin, Adaferin, or generic versions. 3. *Salicylic acid products* (0.5% or 2%): Clean & Clear, Stridex, or generic versions.

I've got really dry skin and I'm struggling to find a good cream. I tried using dewsoft cream, but after about three days, I ended up with some small pimple-like bumps on my face. Could you please recommend something else? I'm really worried and would love your advice.
Thta could be allergic reaction,stop using that cream and visit Dermatologist for alternate treatment

I've been dealing with a skin issue for about 3 months now. I was using a betamethasone cream on my face, but then I noticed it started turning my face redder and redder. My doctor mentioned I was using a really strong steroid cream on my face, and now I'm not sure how to fix this. My cheeks are constantly red, though there's no itching or irritation. When I go outside, it gets even redder. I'm using Desowen lotion and Emodel lotion for cleansing, but I'm really scared about my skin. It's affecting my confidence, and sometimes I don't even want to leave the house. Can you give me some advice on what I should do?
It sounds like you are experiencing redness on your face due to the prolonged use of a high-potency steroid cream. To help improve the redness and restore your skin's health, I recommend the following: Discontinue the use of betamethasone cream immediately, as advised by your doctor. Continue using Desowen lotion as prescribed. This contains desonide, a mild corticosteroid that can help reduce inflammation and redness. For cleansing, continue using Emodel lotion. Make sure to use a gentle cleanser that is suitable for sensitive skin. Consider using a moisturizer with ingredients like ceramides or hyaluronic acid to help repair your skin barrier and improve hydration. Avoid direct sun exposure and always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when going outside to prevent further damage from UV rays.
