A member asked:
I use oxy pads for acne everyday. it says use twice daily. i used it 5 different times today. will this hurt me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acne: Oxy pads contain benzoyl peroxide, a common acne treatment in both otc and prescription products. The only really common side effects is dryness and irritation. So if you did not get excessively dry using it, you should be ok. You may just not be able to use it so much every day.
