    hello doctor thank you for all that you do for free! I have very severe acne and my dermatologist prescribed cutacnyl 10% for local application in the evenings. But she didn't give me a routine to follow. How do I proceed? cutacnyl before or after moisturizer or no need for moisturizer? she told me to put the product on dry skin, previously washed that's all. while the treatment massages the skin enormously. sorry for the mistakes I speak French and I had to translate with Google translation

      @@thenursedee ok a couple of things could be responsible. Either u are having an adverse reaction to the BP or your other skincare products are clogging your skin. If you are acne prone you should use a moisturizer that is oil free and gel based(lightweight) likewise the sunscreens. In the meantime hold off on the BP, discontinue the lavender cleanser too as essential oils can worsen an irritated skin. Get a simple cleanser like the cerave foaming cleanser for normal skin Cerave products contain ingredients to help heal your skin barrier.or the cerave acne wash which contains BP 4%this may be better tolerated by your skin since it’s a rinse off product. Then follow up with an oil free moisturizer. It may take a while but your skin barrier will gradually heal itself

    Hi doc I have a question I firstly use clinda then I put the bp 5% and after it dries I put vaseline as bp dries my skin. I started with this a week. Is it a correct way to cure my skin ?

      Sorry to hear that. Those are some of the side effects of benzoyl peroxide. For now apply it as a spot treatment directly on your pimples and do this Every other day and see how it goes. Hope it helps
