I've suffered from acne since my early teen years. It was probably at its worst from 16-22 but it kinda calmed down a bit since then and I learnt how to manage my skin and since then my skin has been relatively good as long as I stay on top of it. My regimen since 16 included benzoyl peroxide every night and it worked so well!
Until now, I had my 2nd baby 6 months ago and I'm 35 now and the last few months my skin is going crazy. I've always had oily/combination skin so that hasn't changed but what has changed is that my skin has become hyper sensitive and won't tolerate benzoyl peroxide anymore! Even if I put on the lowest percentage my skin goes red.
At my wits end, I don't want to be dealing with acne at this age! Any suggestions? I'm hoping it's due to hormonal imbalance after baby and it will go back to normal but I'm not sure it will
