Dry skin from pimple cream.?

I recently started using this pimple cream called oxy 10, it works well and has cleared most of my pimples, but the label says that if my skin dries excessively, i should stop using it and switch to oxy 5.





How do i know whether my skin has dried excessively? Because my the areas of my face where i applied the cream does feel kind of scaly..





Oxy 10 contains 10% Benzoyl Peroxide, Oxy 5 probably contains 5%.





Thanks in advance!Dry skin from pimple cream.?
You will be able to tell if your skin is overly dry. You can switch to a kind of Oxy pad with moisturizers, or use your current kind less. Also, take a look at the kind of soap you use to see if that is contributing to any dryness.Dry skin from pimple cream.?

If your skin dries up and starts peeling like a sunburn, that's excessive dry skin. Benzoyl peroxide is usually pretty mild, even 10%. It usually will cause some drying of the skin, but nothing major unless you've got ultra sensitive skin.
if your skink looks scaly, feels scaly, starts to peel ect. you should switch, you also could just not use it for a day or two and then continue use..............
You should do a mini patch test to determine your skin type. If you skin is already of the dry type, using benzoyl may makes your skin even more dry.

Your skin will probably be kind of flaky. Don't overuse it.
