Hello,

I bought an acnefree cleanser from the store the other day and didn't use it correctly. It said to rinse well after use, (since its a cleanser) but I thought rinsing so soon wouldn't let the benzoyl peroxide have enough time to do anything so I left it on for several hours. I did that twice that day. Then yesterday I woke up and my skin was horribly dry and with dark patches under the eyes. Today (2nd day after using the cleanser) my skin is still very bad. I look terrible and my skin feels like paper (I even have a small crack on the outside of my right eye from the dryness)

I know I used the acnefree cleanser much too long. I'm scared that I may have permenently damaged my skin by stripping out all the oils. Is there anything I can do now besides waiting and praying that my skin regenerates its oils?

Thanks
