BP vs. SA

[SCaliGirl 0]

I'm stuck between using SA or BP.

Breaking out from SA products, is it purging?

Why do you pick your product?

BP is the only thing that prevents my acne completely. even then sometimes one or two creeps through.

SA does nothing for me.

if your main problem is big pimples with pus or inflamed active acne...use benzoyl peroxide(this also helps alot for whiteheads and blackheads)

if main problem is whiteheads and blackheads ....use salicylic acid

if you have both and when using benzoyl peroxide is not enough to get rid of those clogged pores(whiteheads blackheads) then use both salicylic acid and bp

just discovered this and theirs science behind it and the fact that my face is clearing up super fast from clogged pores after adding salicylic acid like 3 days ago

TTTTTurtle is right. BP is more effective against inflamed acne. SA is more effective against non-inflamed acne.

Thanks , I think I will stick with BP... I tried an SA regimen, and it did nothing for me.
