Common conclusions
Salicylic acid can penetrate down into pores and dissolve excess sebum and debris, making it ideal for acne-prone skin. Using a well-formulated, leave-on salicylic acid exfoliant, if you have blackheads, not only tends to remove existing blackheads, regular use helps prevent new ones from growing in the pores. You should add the exfoliant to the cleansed skin once or twice daily for the best results.
Salicylic acid is a key ingredient in skincare for oily skin. You should start off applying it every few days, and take note of how your skin reacts after each application. If it is feeling annoyed, you will need to take a day or two off and perhaps be a bit more vigilant with moisturizing.
If you have a dry skin type you should avoid using salicylic acid every day as it is too potent for the skin. You should start by using a product containing salicylic acid three times a week.
Salicylic acid's key negative side effect is its tendency to irritate and dry the skin of people who are extremely sensitive or who overuse it, so you should use a product containing salicylic acid two-three times a week.
You should use a product containing salicylic acid two-three times a week and your application should be limited to the evening. But, if you need to add salicylic acid in the day, make sure to use plenty of sunscreen to follow it up.
