|
Background:
23 yrs old, done two accutane courses which mean skin is constantly dry if not moisturised, post-accuutane if I use benyzol peroxide my skin gets SCORCHED red and severaly burnt and inflamed for days, however I tolerate retin-a very well.
------
I want to know given my sensitivity to things like BP, what is a good way to work into BHA peels? I want to try salicylic acid because I hear it's very effective against acne plus makes the skin look nice.
Is 8% a good strength to begin at? Then build up to 10%, 15%, 20%?
What is your opinion Dr T?
Thank you! |
