What Does Salicylic Acid Do?
Salicylic acid works by loosening the bonds that hold dead skin cells together. When those cells shed more easily, your skin becomes clearer and smoother.
- Cleans pores → Breaks down oil, dirt, and buildup
- Prevents acne → Keeps pores clear so pimples don’t form
- Calms the skin → Reduces swelling and redness
- Speeds up skin renewal → Helps your skin look fresh and even
What is Salicylic Acid Used For?
Salicylic acid is mostly used to treat acne and oily skin, but it does more than just that. It also:
- Helps with blackheads, whiteheads, and acne scars
- Improves rough skin texture
- Works on keratosis pilaris (tiny bumps on arms or thighs)
- Treats dandruff when used in shampoos
How to Use Salicylic Acid on Your Face
Start slow—use it 2 to 3 times a week if you're new to it, ideally in a wash off product format. If you use a cleanser like our Salicylic Acid Cleanser or Salicylic Acid Face Wash Gel, leave it on your skin for 30 seconds before rinsing.
Always follow up with a gentle moisturizer like our AccuHydra Moisturiser, and don’t forget sunscreen in the morning. If your skin feels too dry or irritated, use it less often.
