Do benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid work well together?

Yeah you use salicylic acid then benzoyl peroxide it makes it penetrate the skin better. Make sure to user a mosturizer though because it can make your skin a little dry. Hyaluronic acid is the best one always.
 
BPO kills acne bacteria and reduces inflammation, i think it can prevent resistance to antibiotics im not so sure tho
SA is essentially a BHA that exfoliates pores and reduces oil buildup

both of them are very drying and might be irritating if your skin is sensitive. it can cause peeling too sometimes.

honestly alternate their use and apply to different areas with the diff concerns. moisturise well to protect your skin barrier.

No I think salicylic acid is the best honestly. When you use something that could dry the skin and irritate it like benzoyl peroxide,retinol etc Hyaluronic acid will prevent any flaky skin honestly.
