RESET Acne Treatment Gel 5%

Q: Can I moisturize after benzoyl peroxide 5%?

Absolutely! It's recommended to moisturize after applying benzoyl peroxide gel to prevent dry skin and peeling. Choose a non-comedogenic moisturizer to hydrate without clogging pores. We recommend pairing your treatment with a hydrating moisturizer or a moisturizer that includes a daily SPF.If benzoyl peroxide is used too heavily or applied to sensitive skin, it can cause dryness and peeling. If you experience this, lessen the amount you apply until your skin grows more accustomed to the product, and add a hydrating serum into your routine.
