FAQ
Salicylic acid is best suited for oily or problematic skin (acne, blackheads) as it helps to clear clogged pores and reduce breakouts. It can also be used occasionally for gentle exfoliation on normal skin types. However, following the instructions and moisturizing your skin after applying salicylic acid is crucial for all skin types.
Start slow! Before regular use, do a patch test on a small area of your skin to check for sensitivity. Once you know your skin tolerates it, you can typically:
Start with once daily application: Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin in the morning or evening.
Gradually increase to twice daily: If your skin tolerates it well, you can gradually increase to twice a day after a few weeks
Unclogs pores, fights breakouts, and evens skin tone! Salicylic acid gently exfoliates, reducing oil production and inflammation for clearer, smoother skin. It also fades hyperpigmentation and stimulates collagen for a youthful glow.
Salicylic acid is a powerful exfoliant, so it's best to avoid using other exfoliating products like scrubs with harsh granules or products containing glycolic acid at the same time. This can over-exfoliate and irritate your skin.
Additionally, avoid alcohol-based products or heavy oils. Alcohol can be drying, while heavy oils might clog pores that salicylic acid is trying to clear.
After using salicylic acid, it's important to replenish your skin's moisture. Apply a lightweight, oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer to soothe any potential dryness and keep your skin feeling comfortable. During the daytime, choose a moisturizer with SPF to protect your skin from sun damage.
For maximum effectiveness, salicylic acid needs a cool, dry home away from sunlight and heat. This helps it stay potent and deliver the best results for your skin. We recommend a cosmetic mini fridge to maintain the optimal temperature. Additionally, close the bottle tightly after each use. This keeps air and contamination out.
