Salicylic Acid is one of my favourite ingredients. This beta-hydroxy acid exfoliates deep within the pores to banish breakouts, congestion, and inflammation while smoothing skin.
It’s an ideal ingredient for anyone who wants to regulate oil production, improve texture, and clarify their skin.
By using a Salicylic Acid cleanser, you can reap such benefits every day.
When it comes to introducing a Salicylic Acid cleanser, people often have a lot of questions.
Can I use a Salicylic Acid cleanser every day? Yes, you can! Some products, however, give more specific instructions, so always read the label.
Do Salicylic Acid cleansers work? They absolutely do! As Salicylic Acid is oil-soluble, it can penetrate the skin during cleansing. I’d recommend leaving your cleanser on for a minute or so to get the best results.
Finally, is Salicylic Acid safe to use when pregnant? Most doctors say it’s fine, but always check with your own doc to make sure.
