What is Salicylic Acid & How it Works? Salicylic Acid is a Beta Hydroxy Acid that works as a chemical exfoliant due to its oil-soluble properties. Salicylic Acid works by cutting through the debris, sebum, and bacteria that form inside the pores which further prevents comedonal acne such as the formation of blackheads and whiteheads.
Is Salicylic Acid Helpful in Treating Acne?
If you have acne-prone skin, you must have heard a lot about Salicylic Acid. It has been on the top list of skincare actives not only when it comes to face acne but also for back acne and acne on the scalp. It is a great acne-fighting ingredients extracted from Willow Trees (Bark)Although there is no one size fit for skincare as everyone shares a different skin type, it's important to know about the product and its mechanism of action.
Make sure if you are an acne warrior, you need to have three facts clear:
- Be patient while you start your skincare journey
- Be consistent with your Skincare regimen
- Do not overload your skin with multiple products
Who should ideally use it?
It can be used by people who have oily, combination, and acne-prone skin, be it on the face, body, or scalp acne.
Correct Application of Salicylic Acid
Salicylic acid works as a great exfoliating agent but when used at the right frequency. Salicylic Acid can be applied at a lower frequency when beginning, like once a day and if tolerated can be increased to twice a day. You can always start once or twice a week if you have extremely sensitive oily and acne-prone skin. Pro tip- Overdoing salicylic acid can lead to over-exfoliation, and that can damage the skin barrier.
Salicylic acid is available in the form of gels, ointments, face wash, and lotions. Make sure to consult your doctor before using it in your regimen for the best results.
Always give a brief history to your doctor about any skin conditions you have been dealing with like sensitive skin, eczema, psoriasis, diabetes, or any liver disease.
Precautions While Using Salicylic Acid
Avoid applying salicylic acid to an open cut, abrasion, or wound. Avoid overusing salicylic acid in your skincare regimen in multiple forms.
Make sure you do a patch test before applying salicylic acid directly to the face. Photoprotection is a must with a broad-spectrum SPF if you are using a Salicylic acid-based product.
Benefits of Salicylic Acid

- Unclogs the pores

Can Salicylic Acid be Used Daily in My Regimen?
Salicylic acid is a Beta Hydroxy Acid that can be used as a face wash daily 1-2 times regardless if you are not using any other exfoliant in the daily regimen. If you have extremely sensitive skin, it's always better to use 2% salicylic acid in any other derivative form like serum, gel, and ointment twice a week as per your doctor's prescription.
Is Salicylic Acid Safe to Use in Pregnancy?
