Using Benzoyle peroxide (Dr Sy could you comment?)

[Guest guest]

Dr. Sy or Group,

A few days ago someone posted on using a product/perscription containing

Benzoyle peroxide for the pimples that leave long lasting red marks. Has

anyone else been successful with this? Are there long term problems for

rosacea skin? Could anyone suggest a product try?

Thanks,

Marla

When I used benzoyl peroxide as a teenager, I never thought that it

helped fade those red marks that old pimples left. As well, bp is

very irritating and you might make your rosacea worse by using it. I

think I helped make my rosacea worse by using bp.

I've heard that beta hydroxy acids(bha) help fade those marks. Some

products with bha's in them are those by a Begoun

(www.cosmeticscop.com) which come in 1% and 2% bha doses. I believe

that Clinique has them in their turnaround cream. (I've tried this and

it made me break out.) I think Neutrogena has it in the form of

salicylic acid in some of their products.

I hope you find something that works for you.

Take care,

Matija

Marla,

I am not sure whether or not the red marks were caused by the acne lesions

for which benzoyl peroxide was prescribed, or they were caused by BP per se

due to irritation. It is hard to generalized as different individuals have

different skin types, different stages of their rosacea and different

responses. However, I think that it is prudent to say that if you have

rosacea and sensitive skin, it is best to avoid products that are harsh and

may irritate your skin.
