beta hydroxy acid is best for
white heads and more oily skin types. If your
acne tend to be filled with
puss or water use
beta hydroxy acid -- on the other
hand if you tend to get very small
black heads then
salicylic acid is the way to go. It works by helping your skin to break down dead cells that tend to block your pores and cause the problem. When you wash your face the dead skin is whisked away and over a week or so nasty clusters of black heads vanish. I've been prone to pimples all my life. When I was in my teens
beta hydroxy acid (found in
oxey) worked best. Now I use
salicylic acid now and then. As a rule most people who still have black heads in to their 20s and 30s will find
salicylic acid is better.
The good thing abour having
acne in your 20s and 30s is the fact that when you are 50, 60 or even 70 you will have fewer
wrinkles..
oily skin is not a curse! (only to the young, but just wait!)
