Hi guys,

Basically I have got a lot of enlarged pores/ blackheads/ acne red marks from a hormonal imbalance this year. It has left my skin the worst it has ever been.

Im on oxytetracycline to clear up the current acne which is working and now im trying to kindof resurface the skin. Ive been using Paulas choice 2% Salicylic acid BHA for a good 8 months but it doesnt seem to stop the blackheads.

I use it nightly currently, im going to do a patch test with the 10% peel tonight. And if no problems apply it tomorrow. I was just wondering is it ok to carry on with the 2% the day after. Or should I leave my skin to heal for a few days after the peel. I was thinking of doing the 10% peel once a week and carry on with the 2% on the other days.

Thanks guys :)

It depends on the strength of your skin. A tolerant skin can handle even a higher percentage of peel even on a daily basis. Sensitive skin would be irritaded by a routine like that. What kind is yours? If you are hesitant then do what you think, 2% daily and 10% weekly. In any case high spf is a must.
