The 10% benzoyl peroxide could be irritating you. I recommend applying 2.5% instead. Also, it is ok to apply benzoyl peroxide every other night too. See how you do with this after a month. Mederma will probably not do a whole lot, but if you are not better after a month then go ahead and try it on one side and then compare it with the other untreated side.
