@noahw1229
2:50- Salicylic acid 5:27- Benzoyl Peroxide 8:12- Which one is better for what? (Pros/cons of each)
@KingNaoya
Salicylic Acid: Mild acne, cleans pores, best for whiteheads & blackheads Benzoyl Peroxide: Moderate to severe acne, cysts, painful red bumps, kills bacteria

Something about how Dr. Dray said "well hey guys!" at the beginning made me feel like she was saying hi to her best friends. What a sweet lady. Love her

I’ve struggled with acne for 2 years and for me I’ve noticed that salicylic acid helps control the surface level pimples but benzoyl peroxide is extremely affective in dealing with acne as a whole and deeper penetrating acne. So if you have minor pimples I’d say go with salicylic acid but if you can acne that’s flared up and red then go with benzoyl peroxide
@matheuswerly5320
Folks do not forget sunscreen. I remember when I was a teenager and I had applied an ointment with benzoyl peroxide and then went out to buy bread. I returned with the area quite itchy and somewhat dark. It was just superficial but I realised how important sunscreen is when using these products.

Dr. Dray is seriously the dermatology best friend. She always keeps it real and pops up when I need her. ❤🙏

My skin does NOT like benzoyl peroxide, so salicylic acid all the way for me! Works great
@avaamaya5320
I started doing the panoxyl armpit mask as you suggested, and I can't thank you enough! I constantly worried about my deodorant wearing off and developing body odor midday, and now I sometimes don't even need deodorant! It is something I thought would never go away. THANK YOU !

Just two weeks into using cerave SA cleanser and already noticed hyperpigmentation and break outs decreasing! Long-time acne sufferer here. Thanks Dr. Dray!!

This is really interesting - had no idea that we don’t see resistance to benzoyl peroxide. I did my undergrad thesis on Tetracycline resistance in C. acnes and honestly it was terrifying how quickly they adapted and subsequently thrived even at super high concentrations. They’re tough little guys.
@mirinaxo1663
I prefer benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid has never worked for me!
@louise7401
I'm 55 and still get a bumpy forehead, especially in warmer weather. Using a Stridex pad with salicylic acid clears it up right away. I can't believe at my age, I'm still buying acne products. As long as I use it, my skin is great.
@jeanpaspa
who the heck is disliking this info?? Thank You Dr Dray.
@MsJeanneMarie
I used Benzoyl Peroxide spot treatment for years and years when I was younger but I found that it was less effective for acne when I got older. I switched to a salicylic acid spot treatment and I worked way better. I know you said bacteria doesn’t become resistant to benzoyl peroxide.. maybe the type of acne I had when I was younger is different than the type I have now.
@coreyanderson1457
Benzoyl peroxide is the only thing that got rid of my ance. For me personally, it did not irritate me (at least not noticeable). I loved it.
