A member asked:
Can i use benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid throughout the day? or just 1 for acne?

You should use either one. Adapalene cream is now available over the counter, very effective for acne prevention, you should use it along with Benzoyl. Use sunscreen lotion when going out for protection when using these products.
