Guest guest Posted February 26, 2002 Report Share Posted February 26, 2002 Hi, I'm new. I was diagnosed with a mild case of rosacea two weeks ago when I went to a dermatologist to get a mole checked. I read the brochure he gave me, and then read a bunch of stuff from this group which has both helped and confused me. I threw out all the alcohol and abrasive products that I was using, and I actually started to notice a difference after 4 or 5 days. I have combination skin with a fine rash on my forehead, cheeks and along my jaw, and my nose keeps breaking out. Anyway, here's the question: what's the diffence between salicylic acid and BHA? I've read some things here that make it sound like they are the same. But I bought a small bottle of a's 1% BHA and it really burned when I tried it! BUT I have been using things with 2% salicylate in them with out the burning, and I didn't think they were making my face worse. So what's the diffence?--thanks, Jess.
