A cleanser containing active ingredients such as AHA acids, salicylic acid, or benzoyl peroxide will definitely have an effect. Usually a cleanser containing any of these ingredients uses a stronger surfactant, so it will leave the skin very dry. Acids work immediately, so if you use a cleanser with 2 percent salicylic acid, that active ingredient does its job (dissolving dead cells on the surface of skin) the minute it interacts with the skin.
It doesn't need to sit on your face for long. Even though you wash it off, a residual of an active ingredient such as benzoyl peroxide will linger on the skin and remain active and effective.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
