Choosing the right percentage of benzoyl peroxide depends on your skin type and the severity of your acne. For mild to moderate acne, 2.8% Benzoyl Peroxide is often sufficient to effectively target acne blemishes without causing excessive skin irritation. This lower concentration can be particularly beneficial for those with sensitive skin or individuals who are new to using benzoyl peroxide in their skin care routine.For hormonal or cystic acne, 5 % benzoyl peroxide may offer a stronger option. It's potent enough to combat stubborn acne breakouts, yet it's still considered safe for regular use with minimal side effects. However, higher concentrations can sometimes lead to dryness or peeling, making it essential to rehydrate the skin.Regardless of the concentration, incorporating products like the THIRSTY Hydrating Serum and applying the HERO Peptide Moisturizer morning and night can help to rehydrate and soothe the skin, balancing the powerful effects of benzoyl peroxide with necessary moisture and nourishment.
