My face became acne-prone since i used one local product introduced by my friend. Since that, i keep having new pimples and the scars turned to ugly blemishes.

I tried Oil Cleansing Method, but it caused me more breakout.

I read about the Regimen from acne.org and gave it a try.

I did as Dan recommended, but on the 2nd day, my skin severe itch, red like a tomato, swollen, and i got million rashes all over my face. I went to a dermatologist and he prescribed me anti-histamine, hydrocortisone and clindamycin cream. The Dr said i'm alergy to Benzoyl Peroxide.

It took 3 weeks for the rashes to completely gone.

After a month, i found an acne-expert website that recommend users to use 15minutes BPO and wash it. Repeat once a day and increase to 30 minutes once our skin get used to the BPO. So i gave it a try. I wash my face twice a day with Cetaphil, and apply BPO (i'm using Benzac AC 2.5%) 15minutes at night before wash it again with Cetaphil. But after a few hours, i'll get a warm, red and itch irritation on my face. But since i dont use it overnight, i didnt get that ugly rashes along. My pimples dried up after each BPO application, but the irritation is too tough for me too handle I dont have much problem with the dryness or flaky skin becoz i use A LOT of moisturizer (i'm using Dermalogica moisturizer).

I'm still using BPO every alternate night, at 15 minutes duration. It has been 3 weeks and i still have that alergy. Maybe BPO is not for me. Any other treatment works as good as BPO that i can try?

Are u familiar with products with Salicylic Acid 2% for acne treatment?

Thanks!
