Question by Kick Back: Treating acne?
Would it be bad to put Salicylic Acid and Benzoyl Peroxide (10%) on zits to clear them up quickly?
and if not could I put them both on at the same time?

Give your answer to this question below!
Salicylic Acid seems to be stronger but dont use both together as drying of the skin may occur. Also using both at the same time might not let the skin be able to breathe and may cause the zit to get worse. only use a tiny amount of the cream/med. as using to much may also make the zit worse.
pop them
Some products are mixed with both of them, and it works great. Clearasil pads work wonders.
I wouldn’t put both on at the same time. Benzoyle Peroxide makes your skin extremely sensitive, and Salicylic Acid can cause some major irritation. You can try Proactive, but it might not work for you…didn’t work for me… use the Benzoyl Peroxide in small doses…preferrably before bed.
Also, if your a seafood lover, shrimp is great for fighting acne.
and don’t forget to drink lots and lots of water!
I don’t think you should use both and I have read that it is better to use the (2.5%) Benzoyl Peroxide. You don’t want to over dry your face because then your body sends oils to take away the dryness and this, of course, causes acne to get worse. Good luck.
Stop eating fast food and get some colon cleanse. I’ve always had smooth skin, but about six months ago my face exploded with zits and I was devasted. I tried creams, gels, scrubs, and even Salicylic Acid and nothing worked, because they all contained chemicals, which irritate the skin and make it worse. And this was around the time I worked at a hotel, and I got fast food almost everyday. Long story short, I found out about body and colon cleansing did it, gave up fast food, and in about 2-3 months my skin was clear and absolutely radiant! I did Ultimate Cleanse, its only about $ 15, two bottles and all natural.
Good luck!
Use a cream with 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide and nothing over. It has the same effect just without the redness.

WHAT EVER YOU DO DO NOT POP THEM!!! This will cause the dirt to go inside your already infected pore and make the infection worse, also it will leave a scar. I use rubbing alcohol and then put on some Neosporine to keep protected. This takes my pimples away overnight!
