A member asked:

I use salicylic acid & benzoyl peroxide 3 x per day each for acne. i also use aveeno (oatmeal) & eucerin 3 x per day for eczma. will this cause toxic build up?

Too much is too much: No need to use Benzoyl Peroxide and or Salicylic acid more than twice a day --- irritation will follow.

No: The salicylic and the benzoyl might irritate your skin though. Use the moisturizer at those spots also to help your skin.
