A member asked:
I've been using benzoyl peroxide and noticed that my face looks more tan. is that reversible?

Wrong question: If you are asking if benzoyl peroxide will tan your face, the answer is NO. Next questions: What, exactly, do you mean by "more tan"? Are you outside in sun? Ever go tanning? Anything else used on face? Why would you wish to "reverse" it?
