A member asked:

Can i use vaseline to reduces dryness produces due to applying benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not good alternative: If this is acne that you are treating, and you have dryness and irritation from only 2 1/2 % bpo, suggest that you use the bpo less often and see dermatologist for a better approach to your acne.
