So I know the general rule is wash your face in the morning and at night. I use salicylic acid as a toner and benzoyl peroxide as a spot treatment. When I put both on my face how long does it last in your pores or on your skin...like how many hours.

Good question. I imagine most of it washes off. I would expect that there is residual that will stay in the pores (most typical acne treatments have comedogenic ingredients in them as well)...a general "half-life" google search may return something.
