Benzoyl Peroxide and salicylic acid are two of the most common ingredients in skincare products that treat acne. They usually come in cleansing foams or gels and also as spot treating creams.
Some of these products contain both, but I have identified those that only contain one or the other.
If you have moderate to severe acne or acne rosacea your should see a dermatologist to get advice before trying to treat your acne with my advice or anyone’s from the internet.
It can be difficult to distinguish between acne vulgaris and acne rosacea. Also skin purging looks like acne but if treated with salicylic acid can become worse. It is important to know what you’re dealing with before starting any new skincare routine.
