“Once every two weeks, I do a 15% salicylic acid peel.”

“The first picture looks so painful.”

“BHAs like salicylic acid and capryloyl salicylic acid (sometimes called LHA) can work as well”

“I also rotate a 2% salicylic acid cleanser (mostly for my nose and forehead), so lots of gentle exfoliation.”

“I’ve had succes with an AHA toner (i use glycolic), but a BHA one such as salicylic is also great for these as it really gets in there to get rid of the build up oil.”

“-The ordinary SA serum”

“I feel like the SA serum helped. You do have to be careful with how you use it though because theres a chance it’ll irritate your skin more.”

“If its a pustule with a head, I use a topical benzoyl peroxide spot treatment after moisturiser.”

“If you use salicylic acid (in moderation) and retinoids they'll extract a lot easier and you'll get less of them in general.”

“You should definitely be using a comedone extractor to minimize trauma though.”

“So far I have been using AA at night and SA during the day.”

“I have the same bumps and have been so happy with BP! I tried everything else people suggest for texture (azelaic acid, other acids, niacinamide), but this is the ticket to smoothness for me.”
