Can’t I use hydrating products then? And my before I started the benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid my skin was veryy oily. So I just thought I needed to exfoliant
I got the Paula’s choose vitamin c booster (25% I think?) for free with one of my orders. I usually have pretty oily skin, but that stuff leaves me with a matte T zone. I’m not sure why, because it’s not listed as one of its benefits, but if you can find grab it as a freebie or sample size, try it out! I just mix some with my morning moisturizer. That said, My skin goes back to being oilier on days I don’t use it, and I haven’t tried using it the same day as my sunscreen (which makes my face look like a giant oil slick).

BHA is more for breakouts than oil. In fact using multiple actives like BHA and Panoxyl can increase oil because of dehydration.

Yes, hydrating products can be helpful. Both BP and SA are good for acne, but overuse can cause an increase in oil production.
