Salicylic Acid (BHA) vs Benzoyl peroxide for acne spot treatment

[tripletungsahur67]

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

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

I live in Poland so if converted to USD it was about $100 but that's including all the moisturizing masks, soothing creams and so on they put on afterward in succesion, but you can definitely do it DIY. In fact there's a guide for it somewhere, the most important thing to remember though is to be super hygienic and careful after doing them because I'm not sure if the one did I was specifically harsher than a standard DIY peel but I have really sensitive skin right now (especially to the sun) so if I were to dunk my face in contaminants right now I would probably have horrible scars from the insane breakout afterward since I have zero skin barrier due to prior use of topical retinoids.

just use salicylic acid in the morning and benzoyl later like in the evening but benzoyl is better for treating acne
