Q: I have always had clear skin until after I turned 25. Now I have pimples on my cheeks as well as on my forehead. I’ve heard that products containing benzoyl peroxide can help. What is benzoyl peroxide? And what vitamins can I take to help my skin?
A: Benzoyl peroxide is very effective if used regularly. Benzoyl peroxide treatments include such products as Benzac Ac Gel…. They increase the rate of removal of skin cells and suppress the bacteria that contribute to acne. They come in varying strengths (2.5 to 10 percent) but, if too strong, the skin may become dry or rough. For this reason it is better to start with a lower strength, as stinging and skin redness may occur initially. If applied at night, much of the redness caused by the treatment will have gone by morning.
