Have you seen the inside of a teenage girls car?

Since when do teens have their own car? Parents are in charge of the cars in our household.

Plenty of teens have their own cars or a designated parents car. Sounds very ridged at your household.

Do you mean rigid?!

Maybe some families can’t afford for their teens to have cars? And who tf is leaving their benzoyl peroxide in the car for 2 weeks?!

No prob.

If storing it normally and using as intended weren't safe, I'm sure there would be more people sound the alarm. This is the go to product for acne.

I used it for years as a teen and adult. I'm sure most of you have, as well.

I've never left it in a hot car for 2 weeks. But, I will remind my kids to not leave theirs in a hot car for 2 weeks.

Literally 140 degrees is the default setting on most water heaters. Some set theirs even higher. No need for name calling 13:57.

So, if benzoyl peroxide remains at room temperature, it's perfectly safe?

No prob.

Showers do not get that hot idiot.

But showers get very hot. 160 degrees. My teen leaves hers in the shower.

Teens might have their own car, but are they keeping their nighttime face lotion in it? Seems like something that would be kept in a bathroom?

Repeatedly, with several years of use.


Seems far-fetched that typical use in teen yrs would be at all problematic

How many folks are leaving benzoyl peroxide products in hot cars for 14 days?

I read this yesterday with interest, as I'd just talked with my son about using benzoyl peroxides for his mild acne. But this part led me to believe typical use isn't a problem:

Tests involving dozens of these products suggest that when benzoyl peroxide acne treatments are stored or handled at high temperatures – such as when left in a hot car at more than 150 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 14 days – they can generate high levels of benzene, the lab announced Wednesday.

That said, there are other options, such as Differin gel, that I'll steer my kids towards.
