Just try it!
This is the ONLY benzoyl peroxide treatment my skin can tolerate, I’ve tried many different brands (Benzac, Acne.org) different percentages e.g 2.5% , 5%, and different types e.g gels, creams. Every single one of them made my skin itchy red and swollen for days, I thought I’d never be able to use Benzoyl peroxide.
Malezia is the only one that doesn’t irritates the skin and has reduced my acne dramatically within just a few days of using, my skin finally feels smooth.
I will note you have to ease into using it, if you have sensitive skin like me and you go in with the directed amount of 1 fingertips worth straight away then you will most likely have a reaction, the best way to start using this is to do short contact therapy for a few days – this means applying a small amount either all over or to targeted areas and leaving on for a minute to a few minutes, and then washing it off.
If you find that this isn’t irritating your skin much then after a few days you can apply and leave on the skin for longer or all-day/overnight.
This product is my miracle worker and I couldn’t be without it now! My skin hasn’t looked this clear in many years ♡♡
