A member asked:
Benzoyl peroxide application around my nose area made my pores become more visible. it maybe dried them out and made them bigger. what can i do?

Decide your goal: BP is naturally drying and more so with the frequency and duration (hours) of the application. If the effect troubles you you can reduce the frequency (daily,every other day, every 3rd day, etc.) or duration per application to see if you achieve your desired effect. If the change doesn't help stop or go to a lower strength BP.
