I am a little confused!
I am using 2%BHA only on nose and chin and my skin is peeling here, but I am also trying to counter-act the peeling with a moisturiser. But I am also getting little white heads here aswell. Does anyone have any ideas why this is occuring? How much peeling is 'normal'? I have been using it for a year (mostly consistenly once a day).

Also, should I use a BHA all over my face?
I think I would have to drop down to 1% as the 2% is too strong for the rest of my face.

I am also using tetretin only on my nose and chin (as specified by derm), but there seems to be no change in very mild acne. I thought it was ideal to use this all over my face too? (for brown pigment spots?)
I don't seem to be having any changes in my skin, especially the pigment spots. And seem to be struggling working out how to deal with having slightly oily/normal nose & chin and dry cheeks and forehead!
The derm i saw said i had dry skin...but i have permanent blackheads on nose, blackheads and whiteheads in chin...isn't this a sign of oily?
Ahhhhh its all to confusing!!!
