Thank you so much for your question. Unfortunately this is one of the side effects of using Benzoyl Peroxide. It is very effective in clearing out breakouts, and unfortunately, people do tend to apply it a bit too liberally, resulting in peeling and flaking over the treated area. So my suggestion, if you are happy that the product is working for you, is: 1) Simply apply a little less, 2) Try to only apply it at night time after cleansing your skin, and 3) Make sure that you are using a good facial sunblock during the day.
