Benzoyl Peroxide and Clothing

One thing that we hear a lot about and always warn our patients about is the fact that benzoyl peroxide can bleach things. That’s right, clothing, pillow cases, towels, the works. Many times, the benzoyl peroxide is applied at night and then laying down right away can effect bedding.

So, please be careful and consider using white or light fabrics in conjunction with topical benzoyl peroxide products and allow the cream, gel, wash, or pad to adequately dry prior to touching any fabric.
