MORE ABOUT SALICYLSYRA (BHA)
What does salicylic acid do for the skin?
Salicylic acid is an oil-soluble acid that helps exfoliate by removing excess oil and old skin cells. This can help improve the appearance of blackheads and pimples. Additionally, it has soothing properties that help reduce visible redness and temporary discomfort.
Benefits of Salicylic Acid in Skincare
- Exfoliating effect: Helps remove old skin cells and gives the skin a radiant glow.
- Deep-cleanses pores: Removes excess oil, reducing visibly oily and shiny skin.
- Reduces pimples and congestion: BHA works effectively to reduce the appearance of blemishes and blackheads.
- Soothing: Beta hydroxy acid can visibly calm and reduce temporary redness.
- Suitable for various skin types: While BHA is especially good for visibly oily skin, other skin types can also benefit from its deep-cleansing effect.
How to Use Salicylic Acid
Salicylic acid is found in many skincare products, including serums, creams, and exfoliants. When using it for the first time, start slowly to see how your skin reacts.
Apply the product to clean skin, ideally once a day or as recommended, and follow with a serum and/or moisturizer. During the day, it’s important to use high SPF protection (at least SPF 30) as the final step in your morning routine.
Can You Use Salicylic Acid Every Day?
Yes, many people can use salicylic acid daily—but it depends on your skin's tolerance. For some, a few times a week is enough, while others can use it every day without issues. Start slowly and gradually increase usage depending on your skin's response.
What Shouldn’t You Mix with Salicylic Acid?
There are quite a few myths about what you “shouldn’t” combine with salicylic acid, but the truth is that most combinations are fine — as long as your skin tolerates them. Some say you shouldn’t mix salicylic acid with other acids, retinol, or vitamin C, but that’s not a strict rule. It all depends on knowing your own skin and not overusing active ingredients at the same time, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Ingredients That Pair Well with Salicylic Acid
Some ingredients can enhance the effect of salicylic acid or help balance the skin:
- Niacinamide: Soothes the skin and evens out the skin tone.
- Hyaluronic acid: Hydrates the skin and softens after exfoliation.
- Ceramides: Restore moisture balance and strengthen the skin barrier.
- Panthenol (provitamin B5): Strengthens the skin barrier and has a visibly calming effect.
- Zinc: Effective against clogged pores and excess oiliness.
Products Containing Salicylic Acid
There are many different skincare products that contain salicylic acid, such as:
- Cleansers: Remove excess oil and removes old skin cells.
- Serums and toners: Help exfoliate and deep-clean the pores.
- Creams and lotions: Hydrate while also visibly calming and reducing appearance of redness.
Summary
Salicylic acid is a versatile and effective ingredient for those who want to reduce appearance of pimples, blackheads, and clogged pores without compromising the skin’s balance. Thanks to its ability to deeply exfoliate while also soothing the skin, it’s suitable for oily, combination, and even sensitive skin types. When used correctly—in conjunction with hydrating and barrier-strengthening ingredients—salicylic acid becomes a powerful tool for achieving clearer, cleaner, and more balanced skin over time.
