Did you do the whole regimen thing, or just the benzoyl peroxide? I used to have some Day and Night stuff (it was two bottles in one, half with some special day formula--either salicylic acid or bp and a bit of moisturizer and the other half for night with the other drying agent in it) that worked passably, but I never used it in the morning like I should because the stuff didn't absorb well and sort of left your face a bit tacky. So I used the entire night bottle at night, and then moved on to using the day bottle at night. My face was okay while using it, but it generally isn't ever bad, and it didn't do anything the few times that I tried using either of the gels on my chest/shoulders.
Oh, but the wonders of the bleaching effects of the peroxide. I've got a couple of shirts that I wear to bed on occasion (and elsewhere than bed on occasion, though not really anymore) that I managed to screw up by putting that stuff (I think mine was closer to 10%) on my chest and then letting the shirt get bleachy where it touched. And it didn't even show up until I washed the shirt, I think, oddly.
Do you put the bp on your whole face? I only ever used it for bit treatments, to dry up that big zit that you can feel starting and such. Perhaps I shall try that.
I'm frustrated, though, because the gorram birth control is supposed to be fixing this itself. It's almost the entire reason I went back on it and suffered through the nausea on the first medication and the obnoxiously long period caused by the switch to the second (WE'RE ON WEEK SEVEN, HERE, DUMB BODY. I'M STARTING TO ROOT THAT MY UTERUS ACTUALLY IS EATING MY OVARIES WHEN IT STARTS TO HURT LIKE IT), and there's been very little change. Negative change on my face, actually, as I'm zittier than usual.
