Hey guys,

 

so I've been using 5% BP for alomost a year. It helped my skin tremendously when it was at its worst.

But more recently my skin has been extremely clogged. Like my pores are so bad. Whenever I apply the BP now my skin just seems irritated so I think the BP is actually contributing to the problem.

 

If I were to purchase a 2.5% BP do you think it may help lessen the irritation and help this congestion? I know retinoids could be the answer but I am so scared of the IB. I don't think mentally I can handle that right now.

 

I'm so unsure.

Have you ever tried La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo? It's a 5.5% BP product with salicylic acid, but seems to work really well and is gentle on the skin. My sons used 2.5% BP for months but still had a lot of colorless under skin bumps, and small inflamed pimples that would still crop up. I bought them the LRP and it seems to be working amazingly well. In less than a month it is flattening out all the bumps and they haven't had any new pimples. Even though it is stronger BP it is less irritating and their skin is less red than before.

 

You can check out reviews online, I bought it due to the many great reviews it gets. Been very happy with it.
