Frequently asked questions FOR Benz Adp

Adapalene

Q. My skin is getting dry because of applying Adapalene. How do I manage it?
Adapalene can cause skin dryness at the site of application. To minimize this dryness, you can apply moisturizer to your skin in the day time. However, make sure that you are using a non-comedogenic moisturizer, which is less likely to clog your pores and increases the severity of your acne.
Q. Can I undergo cosmetic procedures while taking Adapalene?
Your doctor will decide whether you can continue taking or stop taking Adapalene before cosmetic procedures. Please ensure that your doctor knows about all the medicines you are taking before any cosmetic procedure.
Q. Is it safe to use Adapalene?
Yes, Adapalene is safe to use when used according to your doctor's advice. However, like all medicines, even this medicine has some side effects, but it is not necessary that anyone who is taking these medicines might get all of the side effects. Please talk to your doctor if you get any unpleasant effects while taking this medicine.

Q. What is the best time to apply Adapalene?
It is best to apply Adapalene before bed-time because Adapalene increases the skin's sensitivity to sunlight and can cause skin irritation when exposed to sunlight. Therefore, applying this medicine in the day time requires the user to take several precautions to avoid direct exposure to sunlight. Hence, it is best to apply this medicine before bed-time.

Benzoyl Peroxide

Q. How should Benzoyl Peroxide be applied?
You should remove all of the make-up. Wash your hands and the affected area and gently dry. Put a thin layer of Benzoyl Peroxide cream on the affected skin, using your fingertips. Apply it to the entire area affected by acne, not just each spot. After applying, wash your hands thoroughly with water.
Q. Should Benzoyl Peroxide be left on overnight?
At the beginning of the treatment, Benzoyl Peroxide is usually used once daily in the evening. The area is not washed off after application of Benzoyl Peroxide, so it can be left overnight unless you experience irritation. However, if you experience irritation, consult your doctor.
Q. What should prompt me to discontinue Benzoyl Peroxide?
You should discontinue Benzoyl Peroxide and consult your doctor if you experience severe local irritation, which means severe redness, dryness and itching and stinging/burning sensation.
Show More
Q. What precautions should be followed while applying Benzoyl Peroxide?
Use Benzoyl Peroxide only on your skin. Keep it away from areas like your eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth and inside of the nose. If the medicine comes in contact with any of these areas, wash the affected area with water immediately. Avoid using Benzoyl Peroxide on scratched or eroded skin and open wounds. Take care when using Benzoyl Peroxide on sensitive areas of skin such as your neck. Benzoyl Peroxide can make your skin more sensitive to the harmful effects of the sunlight. So, avoid the use of sunbeds/lamps and minimize the time you spend in the sun. You should use sunscreen and wear protective clothing while using Benzoyl Peroxide. Avoid contact with hair as Benzoyl Peroxide has bleaching properties. It can even bleach dyed or colored fabric, furniture or carpeting.
Q. How often should I apply Benzoyl Peroxide?
The initial dose is preferably once daily in the evening. Later, the doctor will gradually increase the dose to twice daily (most probably morning and evening).
Q. How long does Benzoyl Peroxide take to show its effects?
You may see an improvement after 4-6 weeks of treatment. You may need to use this treatment for longer to see the full benefits. This is normal for acne treatments. If your acne does not get better after 1 month or if it gets worse, talk to your doctor immediately.
Q. Do you apply moisturizer before or after Benzoyl Peroxide?
You may apply moisturizer an hour after applying Benzoyl Peroxide. Consult your doctor in case of any doubt or concern.
