Benzoyl peroxide and ceramide-building complex: work well together

Work well together

Use them together in the same routine, applying the ceramide product right after your benzoyl peroxide to calm and protect your skin. Ceramides help rebuild your skin barrier so it can easily handle the drying effects of benzoyl peroxide. If you still feel sensitive, try using a lower strength of benzoyl peroxide or wait a few extra minutes between steps.
