How do i switch from a aha to a bha. i was using benoxyl peroxide for years and i switched to kojic acid which destroyed my skin. after using it for weeks i want to switch back. it made my acne worse, how do i go about doing that safely?

Allow 24 hours for the Kojic acid to work its way out of the superficial layers. Wash with non medicated face cleanser as normal for those 24 hours, then you can return to the Benzoyl peroxide wash after that. Make sure to allow for initial dryness/redness as your face gets used to the benzoyl peroxide again.
