Benzoyl peroxide and zinc gluconate: work well together

Work well together

Use them together in the same routine, applying the zinc gluconate first and following it with the benzoyl peroxide. Zinc helps calm irritation while benzoyl peroxide fights acne-causing bacteria so they work well as a team. If your skin feels too dry or sensitive, you can apply them on alternate nights or switch to a gentler strength.
