Charles:
When benzoyl peroxide causes allergy, peeling is usually pretty intense. I suggest washing less often. If that doesn't work, try cleansing with a mild, nonmedicated soap for a few days, then resume the benzoyl peroxide and se what happens.
Best.

I have a last question. I use benzoyl peroxide once everyday and wash my face two or three times a day and my skin is starting to peel a bit. Could it be because I am alergic to it or just because I have sensitive skin? Should I continue what I am doing or change something like using another acne product and if so then what do you reccomend? thanx
Charles:
Washing once or twice a day is enough. Washing more often than that may dry out the skin, and adds no real benefit.
Drinking many glasses of water a day, boiling or not, does not really "flush out the pores," as is often claimed. Drink when you feel thirsty.
Best.
