Always Sunscreen is the last layer to be applied. Apply adequate amount of sunscreen because BPO can cause irritation under the sun. I would suggest to apply BPO at night and sunscreen in the morning.

No..it depends upon the grade...Acne or  pimples... Due to hormonal changes..Oily skin causes it...Common in adolescent age...May occur in adults also.. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it.. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne..So, please  send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
