I'm warning you girls and boys:
Benzoyl Peroxide is the work of the Devil.
I just washed my face with the Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask by Neutrogena, and my face is like a tomato, red, swollen, and my nose is throbbing. I don't have acne or anything like that, but I'm wondering what I can do to soothe the beast that is my face at this point.
Thanks a million.

Ariana has the right idea, I would perfer something natural to do, like that, adding more chemicals will just anger my face more im pretty sure.

Try non-flavored yogurt on your face- something about it calms the skin

Some people are very sensitive to benzoyl peroxide. Calm your skin w/ a cool water compress or apply aloe vera gel.
Stay out of the sun because your skin is more prone to sunburn now. Also, apply sunscreen &/or wear a wide brimmed hat whenever you go out for the next few days.
Use a gentle cleanser until the redness subsides. e.g. Dove for sensitive skin or Cetaphil face wash
If you experience some peeling or flaking, apply 1% hydrocortisone cream. You may also want to take some aspirin or acetaminophen to reduce the swelling.
Use a fragrance-free, light moisturizer as needed.

you must be allegic to some of the ingredients there. Pls the safest would be to go to a dermatologist asap. Meanwhile you could maybe just apply a cold towel to your face. Good Luck.

try a face lotion. they're light and dont have that much oil. your face might also calm down after a few minutes to an hour.
