Why have so many OTC acne treatments switched from benzoyl peroxide to salicylic acid?
Benzoyl peroxide іѕ more effective. Iѕ salicylic acid јυѕt cheaper? Dοеѕ benzoyl peroxide work tοο well аnd thеу wеrе losing money bесаυѕе people ѕtοрреd buying thе products аѕ οftеn?
I would definitely have to agree with the allergic reaction scenario. If it gets on my skin I get huge red welts all over and they hurt. There are still many products out there with benzoyle peroxide and most OTC acne kits have both ingredients in them. But for those of us who can’t use BP it’s nice to have the option of salicylic acid.
i think alot of people were having allergic reactions to it, my friend did..and it wasnt pretty
