Every time i use the oxy pads for acne on my face my face gets extremely red then goes away after a few hours is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oxy Pads: The types of irritation associated with benzoyl peroxide are manageable – especially if you know what they are and the best ways to treat them. Some common of the side effects people might experience with benzoyl peroxide use include dryness or redness. Soothing, oil free moisturizers can help manage these effects, while keeping your skin moisturized and healthy while it heals.
