How To Quit Benzoyl Peroxide Without Breaking Out - www.TheLoveVitamin.com

Wouldn't the theory behind no-poo also apply to the face? That is, if you strip your face of oil everyday (or twice a day), your body compensates by producing more?

[thelovevitamin]

@marcus3379 Yes, it definitely does!

i just use a tiny bit 0.5% bp everyday with moisturiser on top so i dont get flakey skin

You. Look. Like. Avril. Lavigne.

I have been on bp for probably 5 years now...It keeps the acne at bay, but it never completely gets rid of it. I am getting really sick of it and want to get off of it. I usually use it every night; I am going to start trying it only every other night instead. I will let you know if I have a major breakout or not. Thanks for the advice!

if you are going to make a review about products s etc. you need to be smart,efficientand clear. you are annoying ,..you just want to be in camera so people will say your pretty,..you better make a porn movie..

I'm on Day 3 with no BP at all.. I only applied the repairing lotion on zits. I've been using Dr. Bronner soap on my face. I will keep you updated! I hope I don't break out badly. :) So far.. so good. Hopefully it goes well. This video inspired and your beautiful skin inspired me!@ lol I actually wanted to do this a long time ago, but was afraid to breakout. ^^

[thugricanz]

I've been eating healthy for 5 years, but still using proactiv.. I haven't noticed the BP aging me faster.. I still look younger. ^^;; It could be my diet that is helping. Anyways, I went raw 2 days ago because I am going to apply just the repairing lotion once a day, then every other day.. and so on, that you mentioned. :) Hopefully I don't break out badly. So yeah, a healthy diet, such as 80% + raw will help a lot.

[thugricanz]

@thugricanz I will keep you guys updated! :)

[thelovevitamin]

@thugricanz A healthy diet and lifestyle is definitely the biggest key in looking good as you age!! And yes... hopefully that can overcome any effects of BP, but who knows :) Good for you for trying to get off it!

You're pretty!

[thelovevitamin]

@plaikunjara Thanks! :D

[rmacagnan]

If it is so bad, why did you use it for four years??

[thelovevitamin]

@rmacagnan Because I didn't know it was so bad :/

[jjjjjokerface]

It does not age you more quickly, just wanted to say that. If you use a great moisturizer, then it won't dry out your skin, either. Both dermatologists and the FDA have approved it.

[Ariegiggles]

@jjjjjokerface FDA does not regulate cosmetics.

[jjjjjokerface]

@Ariegiggles Like @braydenbeautiful said, if you would do your research you would know that benzoyl peroxide is, in fact, a medication. That's why if you look on the back of any benzoyl peroxide there will be a "drug facts" section. ;)

[cultmountain]

well it worked wonders for me, so I have to say that it's AWESOME and it worked for me, it didn't dry out my skin at all, only for the first two days, I also took an antibacterial antibiotic and that's how I got completely rid of my acne, the thing is that u can't never win something without losing something else. Maybe my skin will be a little dehydrated for a while but it's WORTH it because it looks way better clear and a little dry than all full of bumps and redness.

[braydenbeautiful]

Actually the FDA concluded it was safe, and it has been on the market for over 2 decades.

Benzol Peroxide is a restricted medication. It is however available in low concentrations OTC.

I been using proactiv for 1 and a half year. I have like 6-7 of the 2 month kit. Over the summer I stopped using proactiv because I had ok skin. Once I stopped I started breaking out. So I bought it and since then Im still buying it. It cost a lot $60 for a 2 month kit. I go to the mall to get it. Overall it got rid of my acne and made my skin better. My self esteem is higher. Hopefully you try it and see if it works. Don't take other peoples opinions.

[thelovevitamin]

@FallenKnightxx I`m not taking anyone else`s opinion... I used benzoyl peroxide (the main medicinal ingredient in Proactiv) for four years, and it seemed to keep my acne under control but I still had it... and eventually it stopped working and my acne got a lot worse. I`ve realized how damaging chemicals are and I don`t want to be dependent on something that may be harming me, and other people may not want to be either :)

As soon as you said 'free radicals' I was like 'arrrghhh!'

Benzoyl Peroxide never even works for me. I don't even know why I use it.
