I Know Which Acne Treatment Works...

Personally I have found salicylic acid to be stronger in the fight against pimples. As a teen I used products with 10% benzoyl peroxide but they had little or no effect. However as I got older I discovered salicylic acid and used it. In the form of Neutrogena Multi-Vitamin acne treatment. Needless to say I found that in a short period of time my pimples had disappeared.
Realistically though, only you and your dermatologist can decide on what works best for you. You also indicated that you thought that the salicylic acid product worked better. I always believe that if something works for you run with it.
Hope this helps.
I personally think that benzoyl peroxide works better.. at least on my skin!
I believe benzoyl peroxide is "stronger", but it might be too strong. Salicylic acid (which is aspirin) might not be as strong, but I think it’s more effective.
try benzoyl peroxide. i’ve tried it for the first time and it’s worked for me.

i hope it will work on u too.
gud luck
Salicylic acid……… I am a HUGE believer in the Arbonne International Clear Advantage line – wash, toner, and lotion. It also has a skin support vitamin that pushes the toxins out of your skin and helps it heal from the inside out. Arbonne’s products are made out of botanicals and they also use salicylic acid. They also offer a 45 day money back guarantee.
Whatever you use, make sure you use it for at least 30 days and give your skin a chance – don’t switch back and forth.
