Garden of wisdom 8% Azelaic Acid: It's my first time using acids in over two years because I thought I had a had a weak skin barrier that was beyond repair. When in reality I just have dehydrated skin from living in a dry climate, and irritation from pollution. Cleansing my skin with a gentle cleanser twice a day solved 70% of my problems. Now I'm going to use this to hopefully get rid of the rest of redness. I tried TO azelaic acid in the past, but it irritated my skin way too much. This only slightly sting if at all. I plan to use this almost everyday then use BP twice a week.

Dr. Song 2.5 Benzoyl Peroxide Lotion: I loved BP it got rid of my chin acne and cc's in high school, but I used proactive which ended up irritating my skin after years of using it. I plan to use this twice a week and do contact therapy so it'll be less drying.
