Hello there sorry you are having a hard time. I have used Paulas Choice BHA 2% and retina micro both and had some good results. The thing with retina is that at first it makes your skin worse because it resurfaces your skin and brings up layers from underneath and those layers often have acne hidden in them. Retina mostly makes blackheads easier to get out but it also should help lessen them. BHA will also help lessen the blackheads since it is a chemical exfoliant. Be careful using both of these together because it can make your skin very dry so use just a little and work your way up to more. Just so you know BP does nothing for blackheads and white heads it only works on inflammatory acne caused by bacteria. Hope this helps!

Currently I'm using retin a and bha as well. Actually I just start retin a along with bha. And I've heard before you apply bha make sure your skin has Ph 4-6. Or leave the skin for 30 Mins before apply. it works well.

By the way give me a few weeks I'll come to tell the result on my face.

But my problem right now is more about spot and scars :'(
