If you have eczema, asthma, sunburn are pregnant or breastfeeding you should consult your doctor before embarking on any treatment that has benzoyl peroxide as an active ingredient.
You can get benzoyl peroxide treatments in cream, gel, lotion, shaving cream, face mask and cleansing bar form. As you can see they are for external use only so avoid using it near the month, up the nose, near eyes and other sensitive areas.
Some other acne treatments like Accutane, clindamycin, salicylic acid or sulfur may interact with benzoyl peroxide so always get advice if you are planning on using more then one acne treatment.
Some side effects may include mild burning or stinging and irritated skin. If these symptons get worse the more you use the preparation then consult your doctor.
