What can I do to avoid my acne medication from bleaching my pillowcases and shirts?

I use a medication with Benzoyl Peroxide for my acne. It has bleached out my pillow cases and some of my t shirts. I’m going to stop using it because I’m getting new sheets. Does the medication have a half life should I be worried about it bleaching my new sheets if I haven’t used it for a day?
and will continue to not use it.
I dont have a major problem just about anything works, I need to know what wont bleach things.

Ask a pharmacist. They will give you the facts pertaining to your exact medication and it doesn’t cost anything.

    maybe you could put a towel or something on your pillow, and then the medicine would bleach the towel and not the pillowcase

    Maybe you can choose medication with salicylic acid instead? Or tea tree oil?

    Just wash it off your skin and you should be okay.

    Tea Tree Oil works great for acne and is all natural so it won´t bleach anything. I find it ironic that we sometimes put things on our face that are THAT toxic.

    Tea Tree Oil should be used in a 15% solution with water and applied with a washcloth around once a day. Increase or decrease the solution depending on how bad your acne is compared to how much the Tea Tree Oil dries your skin.

    Tea Tree Oil has a lot of other uses and can cure athlete´s foot, bad breath, and bronchitis. Check out my links for more info.
