Dermatologist Shereene Idriss recommends benzoyl peroxide 3 to 5 times a week, applied in the shower to prevent bleaching towels, and vitamin C twice daily for best results.

Three to five times per week.

Twice daily.

Number three benzoyl peroxide. You want to be using this three to five times a week, but you want your face to get facetime with your cleansers. So in the shower, I highly recommend you keep it there. You put it on your face, you let it sit before you wash it off so you can have that contact time, and then wash it off in the shower so that you don't bleach your towels. If you know, you know. And last vitamin C twice a day. If you have any questions or comments, let me know below.
