How do i know if i'm allergic to benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid?

i tried using clean and clear continuous control acne cleanser (10% benzoyl peroxide) and biore pore cleansing scrub (2% salicylic acid) yesterday. this morning i woke up with my eyes almost swollen shut. obviously i don't want to try them again one at a time because i can't have this happen again but i need to know which one i had the reaction to so i can treat my acne!How do i know if i'm allergic to benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid?
If you've never used either product before your skin may not be used to the intensity of the cleansers. It could ALSO be that you're mixing two brands. My only suggestion would still be to use them one at a time until you can figure it out... or as directed on bottle.How do i know if i'm allergic to benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid?
Salicylic acid is a derivative from asprin. If you are not allergic to asprin, then it might be the benzoyl peroxide.
