A member asked:
I used benzac (benzoyl peroxide) peroxide nw how to get rid of dryness and also my acne marks are nt still gone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The benzoyl peroxide will help keep the skin clear and can offer some peeling action but will not automatically clear away existing scars. Takes time, more time than we would like.
