Question 1

Can we apply sunscreen over benzoyl peroxide or vice versa? Which one should apply first and how much time do we need to wait in between?

Accepted Answer

When using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and sunscreen together, follow these guidelines:

*Application Order*

1. *Benzoyl peroxide first*: Apply BPO to the affected areas, allowing it to dry completely.
2. *Sunscreen second*: Apply sunscreen over the treated areas.

*Waiting Time*

Wait at least *15-30 minutes* after applying BPO before applying sunscreen. This allows the BPO to penetrate the skin and reduces the risk of pilling or reduced efficacy.

*Additional Tips*

1. *Choose a gentle sunscreen*: Opt for a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic sunscreen to minimize irritation.
2. *Select a broad-spectrum sunscreen*: Ensure the sunscreen provides broad-spectrum protection (SPF 30 or higher) to prevent further skin damage.
3. *Reapply sunscreen regularly*: Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours or immediately after swimming or sweating.
