Is the burning feeling on my face normal?!
Question:
Is the burning feeling on my face normal?
I started using this acne skincare kit yesterday which includes a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. My face is red and swollen today morning but my mom said it's normal because my skin is not use to this product yet. The redness decreased already not the swelling but when I was just washing my face with the product, I felt like my skin was burning/hurting. The product does contain 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. Is this normal?? Anyone here know what I'm talking about?? is this really just a situation caused due to my skin is "not use to it"?? Thanks everyone!
Answers:
sounds like you are sensitive or have an allergy to the product. i would stop using it and consult either your family dr or a dermatologist.
alot of the over the counter acne treatments are harsh on your skin and your face is a very sensitive area.
if you're having chronic problems with acne-consult a dermatologist to see about getting a less harsh treatment regime.
good luck to you!!
