Question 5

Ive been using benzoyl peroxide for acne treatment and Im wondering if its safe to apply sunscreen over it. Should I apply the sunscreen first or the benzoyl peroxide? Also, how long should I wait between applying the two?

Accepted Answer

When using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and sunscreen together, follow these guidelines:Application Order1. Benzoyl peroxide first: Apply BPO to the affected areas, allowing it to dry completely.2. Sunscreen second: Apply sunscreen over the treated areas.Waiting TimeWait 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 Tips1. 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.
