QUESTION:

I used to be on a Acne.Org Regimen / Benzoyl Peroxide for a 1-2 Years, now recently, I switched to a clay based, amazon shopping based regimen for skin as you can see on my routine. My question is, how important is benzoyl peroxide, Ive heard many bad things about it, and usually when I use it, it will decrease my acne after about a month, but when I stop using it, my acne comes back stronger. So this time, I am trying an natural approach to my routine, but Im honestly thinking about bringing BP back, I just don't want to get screwed over by it.

Thanks Reddit :), I will be active on this post, and trying to answer as many questions and concerns, that you can help me with.
