CAN I USE BREVOXYL 4% CREAM BEFORE GOING TO BED????????
Yes: Brevoxyl is benzoyl peroxide for acne. It can be used once, or twice per day. You may increase to twice per day if once has not been enough to help improve your acne. Remember that it can bleach fabric, so be mindful of which pillowcase you prefer to use. Your next progression would be a topical antibiotic. You can discuss this with a physician experienced in treating acne. I wish you well. ...Read more

I am currently using brevoxyl and my skin gets kinda irritated ..Can I use an aloe vera gel after i apply the peroxide to make the irritation go away?
Options: Firstly, you should apply any acne medicine 30 minutes after cleansing and no more than a pea-sized drop in total. If irritation is still occurring then you may want to not use benzoyl peroxide. Gel products are drying, and creams are less. Another option is to cleanse, apply a non comedogenic, oil-free moisturizer like cereve lotion, then wait 30 minutes and apply your acne product over that. ...Read more
