hey guys- got a question... i found this acne cream that like 10 percent benzyl peroxide... would that be bad for me? would it affect my skin and the healing of my acne scars and brown spots?
also would exfoliating remove my brown spots? |

I have heard that BP creates free radicals in the skin. Have you tried tea tree oil, which some say is a natural alternative to BP. I would also try Decleor's Ylang Ylang oil or night balm.
Why don't you try AHA's for your scars and brown spots? |

i usually dont trust any product that cant prove its efectiveness scientifically... is it a fact that AHA's help scars and Brown spots? |

Well there is enough evidence within this board alone to prove to effectiveness of AHA's.
AHA's gently exfoliate. Exfoliating will help reduce brown spots a lot faster than not exfoliating.
Also wearing a good sunscreen is a must. |

| 10% BP sounds very harsh. Try a good glycolic peel, or even Juice Beauty Green Apple peel. Exfoliating with my Clarisonic proves to be good for fading my acne scars. |
