I use to use it when my acne was bad many years ago. It seemed to do okay for my pimples but problem was i read it made your red marks last longer to fade. Is that true or false? I eventually switched to salycilid acid 2 percent in place of benzoyl peroxide for this sole reason.

Is this true or false? Now i still use SA as oppose to BP for this sole reason thought SA doesnt seem to help that much but im very hesistant of trying BP since now only is my face really bad now and have red marks, i dont want more.

it does darken the skin

it causes the skin to produce more melanin, which in turn will make your acne scars darker

It slows the skins natural ability to heal. Therefore any mark will stick around longer.
