Expert Tip for Salicylic Acid

"Salicylic acid is a powerful ingredient for targeting breakouts, excess oil, and clogged pores. To get the most out of your routine, start with a salicylic acid cleanser to deeply purify and remove impurities. Follow with a salicylic acid serum to exfoliate and unclog pores, helping to refine skin texture and reduce blemishes. If your skin needs extra hydration, pair with a lightweight, oil-free moisturiser to maintain balance. Always finish with SPF during the day, as exfoliating ingredients can increase sun sensitivity."

Frequently Asked Questions

Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates deep into the pores to dissolve excess oil, unclog congestion, and exfoliate dead skin cells. It helps to reduce breakouts, minimise blackheads, and refine skin texture for a clearer complexion.

Salicylic acid serums are ideal for those with oily, acne-prone, or congested skin. They help control excess oil, prevent breakouts, and smooth uneven texture. If you have dry or sensitive skin, start with a lower concentration or use it less frequently to avoid irritation.

Most salicylic acid serums can be used once or twice daily, depending on your skin's tolerance. If you’re new to salicylic acid, start with every other day and gradually increase as your skin adjusts. Always follow with SPF during the day, as exfoliation can make skin more sensitive to the sun.

Yes, but be cautious when combining it with strong actives like retinol or other exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs) to avoid irritation. Pairing it with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid can help maintain balance in your skin.

Salicylic acid can be drying if overused, especially on dry or sensitive skin. To prevent this, use a hydrating serum or moisturiser alongside your routine and start with a lower concentration if you’re prone to dryness.

Yes, but opt for a lower concentration and use it sparingly. If irritation occurs, reduce usage or choose a formula with soothing ingredients like niacinamide or aloe vera to help calm the skin.

Results vary, but many users notice improvements in breakouts and skin texture within a few weeks. For best results, use consistently and pair with a well-rounded skincare routine.
