Breakouts after benzoyl peroxide use

by bestio85, Sep 23, 2009 12:39PM
Does the face become dependent on benzoyl peroxide? I have used it for 3 years and decided to discontinue using it.
I am 24 so i figured I wouldn't need acne medication anymore. My parents dont have adult acne and my younger brother has good skin (he is 22). It has been 2months since I have used benzoyl peroxide and my face keeps breaking out and isnt clear. Like my face went how it was before I started using the product. How long does it take until my skin can take care of itself and the breakouts will stop? what natural remedies can i use to help control these breakouts?
