My skin is clear right now, but I still have a few dark spots from where my acne was.
I used the glycolic acid and it made my skin really soft and smooth, but then I started breaking out again. So now I'm using the 2.5% benzoyl peroxide during the day and now I'm clear.
I think what I'll do is use the glycolic acid during the night and use the benzoyl peroxide during the day.
(Tangent) Oh, I learned something about benzoyl peroxide in my organic chem class and I was like , "I know what that is!" It was cool. You can use benzoyl peroxide in radical reactions. It's one of the safer peroxides to use so we use it in undergrad labs. Chemistry is sooo cool!
Good idea about the exfoliating glove. I have one too, but I've been using a St. Ives scrub.
