Which one is more effective for acne and whiteheads?

I currently use a salicylic acid cleanser too
 
Apparently benzoyl peroxide is better for inflammed acne?

you can do both just so you know

i.e. BHA peel, wait 4-5 days then use benzoyl peroxide and switch back and forth every few weeks, i feel like it would make more sense to do it uniformally over your whole face though

Whats your thoughts on AHA + BHA peels? Such as the one from The Ordinary

Been considering getting it its quite affordable too

i just had a full face one done on thursday by a clinic, ill let you know about the end result in 2-3 days because that's how long it takes but honestly it's a bit underwhelming after the first day when all that happened was my skin was mildly irritated

i'm probably going to have a more intense spicule peel next month, but we'll see how it goes

How much did it cost you?

Would rather use The Ordinary chemical peel 1 time per week; its less than 15$ for a bottle of it
