Skincare: Acne solution

2018-03-24 14:45:43
Can i immediately use a Benzoyl Peroxide in gel form after i use a AHA/BHA Toner? Cause ive read contradicting things about the time of application of the products. Some say you dont need to wait since the AHA/BHA Toner can actually help the Benzoyl to be absorbed better. But there's also things Ive read that you should apply another active, the Benzoyl Peorxide, 30 minutes after you put on the AHA/BHA Toner? So do i need to wait 30 minutes or not?
