I’m pregnant and Salicylic Acid is a no-no. But all the over-the-counter acne body washes like Neutrogena have Salicylic Acid. Benzoyl Peroxide is ok to use, but I can’t find a body wash where that is the main ingredient. Can anyone advise on something that is safe to use?
Can I use salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide together? I want to use a toner with salicylic acid and then benzoyl peroxide lotion…..but of course I an not going to rinse off the toner with salicylic acid.
I heard benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid cause cancer, and my face is too close to my brain to risk getting skin cancer, so I was wondering if I could use anything else.
I have zits everywhere on my face, and I am completely sick of them! And I already have a product with Salicylic Acid in it and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a cheap product with under 5% benzoyl peroxide. I cant afford anythig thats like 20$ so please is there any over-the-counter product I could buy at WalMart for like that contains a low percentage of benzoyl peroxide. Thank You!! <3
Every two weeks or so I get about 2-3 horribly bad and painful cystic pimples. There’s one starting right now and I want to know whats best to treat it with. I have both salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide available to me right now. What should I use?
I’ve been using Clean & Clear’s continuous control acne cleanser which contains 10% benzoyl peroxide for the past couple of years. I just bought the Clean & Clear blackhead eraser which contains i think 1% salicylic acid. Is it okay if I used both? I would probably use the cleanser in the morning and the blackhead eraser at night.
I found out that i am allergic to salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide so i am trying to find an over the counter product. I do not want to go to a dermatologist becuase my acne is not that bad. If anybody can help, please it will be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide for acne? which is better for severe acne?? wats the difference and wat do each of them do specifically for skin and acne?
I use Proactive right now, which has benzoyl peroxide. Can I use a moisturizer with salicylic acid in it? Or is it bad for my skin to mix the two?
Above my lip, there is an area that is red and slightly bumpy. I KNOW a zit is just waaaiiting to sprout. How can I stop it dead in it’s tracks?
*I have tried salicylic acid, toothpaste and rubbing alcohol in the past. (Did not work)
