BHA Lotions

I was wondering if there are any BHA (beta-hydroxy) Lotion users, as opposed to AHA lotions?

I'm planning on trying one because I hear that they go deeper into the skin and don't cause as much redness.

What are the brands that make a BHA lotion? Would you reccommend any certain brand?
Also, for AHA I would be at a 15-20% level. What would you put that in BHA?

Any other opinions are the topic would also be appreciated.

Thanks,
Anna

I also read on the net that BHA (which is salicylic acid) goes a lot deeper down the skin and is able to clean the follikles much better than AHA.

I have used it for a couple of days now and my skin feels a lot better. I also think I can see my red dots becoming a bit lighter.

On a skincare store website i found a product that is both AHA/BHA....i don't know what the % of each part is...and i'm wondering if it's worth a try at $35

I tried the BHA lotion (2%) from Paula's Choice but didn't notice any difference in my KP.

I was prescribed Salex, a 6% Salicylic Acid (which is a BHA) lotion to use nightly. While better than nothing, it doesn't do much. It also leaves my arms feeling sticky, like it didn't absorb very well. I've had much better results with AHA lotions. I currently use Aqua Glycolic, and also have some samples of AmLactin that I haven't tried yet.
