I tested besan flour as facewash, but it rather lead to skin rash. As a result, later, I switched to littleextraa riceberry face wash, and trust me, my skin has greatly benefitted from this and got better than how it was... pimple and spots reduced, blemishes faded, pore size reduced a lot, and skin has become more glowing and smoother, and I am getting compliments from friends these days.
The riceberrry face wash worked well for my sensitive skin, no acne and bright glowing skin. Already on my 2nd bottle and very happy with the results I got.
Can I use my aha toner after the salicylic acid wash?
Which is the riceberry cleanser?
Good morning Dr Dray! I’ve been watching your videos for the last 2 years after dealing with severe PCOS acne for most of my life. Today I’ll be graduating from my MBA program with clear, glowing skin thanks to your help. Appreciate all your hard work!
Congratulations on graduating and your clear glowing skin babe!
Congratulations!!!!!! MBAs take determination and hardwork; you should feel so proud!
How did you do it?? I have been struggling since getting off BC and spiranolactone.
What changes have you made and what products do you usually use? I have pcos and my skin drives me crazy, the acne hurts so much
This single comment made me subscribe to her channel😌
Hi Dr Dray. I’m going into the archives of some of your previous videos, and am so grateful (again) for the time you take to educate your followers. I feel much more prepared to purchase products that I think will work for my skin issues. I should share that I have a board certified derm that I see every six months for skin cancer checks. Thank you for your encyclopedic ability to describe and de-mystify various subjects and products. 🙏🏻
❤Dr Dray, I can’t thank you enough for recommending the renewing salicylic acid Cleanser. I am in my 50s and have used it for over a year and it has a very anti inflammatory effect on my face and neck. I am a farmer in the SE and the sun is super strong here.
Your hair and lipstick look so pretty today! Great video as always, I adore and appreciate you Dr Dray! ❤
Walgreen's has a great dupe for Cera Ve; it is also a gel, also has ceramides, vitamin d, and is not at all irritating, although caveat - I am very oily, especially at this time of the year. I generally use it 2x/day now, but 1x/day in winter, alternating w/a hydrating cleanser at night when I use retinol. I've never had a problem with eyelid drying, as you described. They don't give the percentage SA, but I would assume .5% since 2% would be super drying. It's not drying but does a really good job of removing the oil. They're having a sale right now, buy 1, get 1 half off if anyone is interested!
I recently got a free sample of the Cerave Blemish Control Cleanser and also the Blemish Control Gel. I am a HUGE fan of both of them! They contain ceramides and niacinamide in addition to SA so I don't find it irritating in the slightest, and I find it to be quite effective! Would absolutely purchase it with my own money - each product is around $20 AUD.
Dr. Dray is a Jedi Dermatologist. She keeps all of her Videos current and really describes how everything works. She's amazing.
Thanks, love ❤
I just came across your channel and I am loving it!! Huge fan🙌🏻 Ty for all reliable honest info.
You took the mystery out of washes for me--TYVM! You are a treasure in my book.
I started using the up&up salicylic acid face wash a while ago and my skin already feels a lot smoother. I use to get two to three pimples a day when I was a teenager and it has lessened up since I turned 20 but I still get acne very often. Since I started using the face wash, I don’t get huge breakouts anymore and they aren’t as common. I’m definitely seeing an improvement in my acne. The only problem is I have dry skin so it can be a bit drying, which is why I pair it with the Eyude House hydro barrier cream. Thank you for the recommendation!
That lip colour looks beautiful on you🤩 Great video as always, very helpful!!!!!
Elf skin has come out with their “Blemish Breakthrough” line that I discovered a few months back at Ulta. I especially enjoy their acne calming water cream as a light weight moisturizer with 1% salicylic acid and 4% niacinamide. They also have a trial size kit which I use for travel. So far it’s been great!
Salicylic Acid has always been so good to me. As an oily girl, SA has really been vital to manage my acne and prevent post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It's honestly my go to for almost instant results. Within days of using it, my acne lesions are less noticeable and my skin texture significantly improves. I can always rely on it.
Which cerave cleanser you used ?
@@khawagalozaka7675hi she already said.. SA CeraVe
Hey is it the SA cersve cleanser ur using and did it reduce shine? And use it 2x a day?
@@khawagalozaka7675 I personally use the SA smoothing cleanser and it was life changer. It really did clear up my skin.
@@nafisamurshed6288 I used mine 2x a day and for me it didnt reduce my shine at all.
I have acne, but my skin is also quite prone to dehydration, and I really second your suggestion of not using too much! Not only does it make sure it gets completely rinsed off, but it also makes the cleanse itself more gentle. Many SA cleansers are formulated to be a bit stronger in terms of cleansing properties, and if you find that it leaves you feeling a dry, using less can make a big difference! There's less surfactent going on your face, which makes the cleanse more mild. The cleansers with pumps can mislead us to believe that one full pump is necessary/okay, when in reality, less than half a pump would be adequate to clean most people's faces, and a full pump can leave a lot of people feeling dry.
I discovered this initially by just trying to save money - I wanted to reduce how much product I was using as much as possible, so I started experimenting with the quantity of cleanser used. With most foaming cleansers, I learned that a pea sized amount can be sufficient to not only adequately cleanse my face but also to minimise the dehydrating effects of cleansing. I apply this rule to all cleansers I've used, regardless of the active ingredients, and I've been consistently shown that I can get away with using less than I initially expected. Cream/non-foaming cleansers are a bit different, though, because they have somewhat less spreadability due to the lack of lather and are usually very mild already.
This habit has also reduced the frequency with which I buy cleansers. These days, I opt for ones with a shelf life of 6-12 months because I take a good while to finish even 200ml cleansers.
Use encapsulated salicylic acid face wash to country dryness issues
Yes! Almost any cleanser dried my skin out. 😅
Then I started using smaller quantities of cleanser . And voilà! My skin was cleansed, but never dry again.😊
I'm so happy I read this recommendation! Going to try when I wash with the SA acid later!
Consume electrolytes. I recommend re-lyte electrolytes.
I have been using the cerave SA cleanser for a few months now. I'm 63 and it helps with occasional small breakouts without irritation. It's also skin smoothing. I thankyou for this recommendation months ago. I never had acne, but sometimes get apimple or two now and then. Love your work. Thankyou.
I've been using the Vichy Normaderm Phytoaction Cleansing Gel with 0.5% Salicylic acid. I also like Stridex Alcohol Free pads with 2% SA. I will look into trying some of your faves, Dr. Dray! Thanks for all the great info!
I actually use the Neutrogena sal shampoo once in a while because I get a lot of buildup on my scalp, not from products, but just general dead skin. One time I decided to lather my face along with my hair, and I discovered that maybe it’s the 3% salicylic acid, but it really seemed to make my face feel smooth after the shower that time. So I periodically when I do use that shampoo, I will use it on my face as well. It does not dry me out or irritate me.
I’ve been using salicylic acid cleansers from Versed, Herbivore, and Current State. They all have some bonus anti-inflammatory ingredients thrown in and I’ve found them to be less drying and irritating than Cerave’s salicylic acid cleansers. The Versed one, in particular, is really creamy and not drying and also contains blue tansy. The Herbivore one is a gel consistency, but has a ton of anti-inflammatory ingredients thrown in, such as blue tansy, aloe, zinc PCA, and tumeric. The Current State one has a creamy consistency and contains aloe and green tea and a handful of other exfoliating acids on top.
I wasn’t able to use salicylic acid until very recently. Every product I tried was irritating or too drying. For a while I even thought I was allergic to it. But I tried The Ordinary’s anhydrous solution, and I had no problems with it at all. Then I bought Naturium’s salicylic acid body wash in hopes it would help with KP (it hasn’t). I noticed that it says it’s formulated to be used on the face as well, so I tried it on my face when I started seeing more pimples and congestion, and I can’t believe how well I’m tolerating it! I only use it a few times a week, but I love it for this purpose. I will often apply a little bit to my oily/congested areas for a couple minutes before I get in the shower to give it more of a chance to work.
I’m not the target demographic for SA cleanser, but Amazon sent the CraVe version in error, and told me to just keep it🤷🏻♀️
I’m one of your wiser OGs, but started using it once every week or so and have noticed my regular skin care regimen seems to work better afterward.
Thanks, as always, for sharing your expert advice and help with all of us 🥰
Thanks Dr. dray! This was super helpful 🙂👍💕
I love the Stubborn Texture cleanser by Neutrogena. At 56, my skin is post-menopausal, it's drier and more sensitive, yet I still get acne. (fun).... this really helped improve the acne without causing irritation, it truly was a lifesaver! Thanks for the great video Dr. Dray!
Yes! I love their stubborn texture line as well and I’m 30. It’s the perfect jelly texture where you can get a lather but it’s not harsh. I’ve even mixed some into my shampoo for a clarifying effect and it works perfectly.
@@ashleymejia8971 I like a white vinegar rinse to remove residue, works like a charm and cheap as chips!
Never seen such detailed and full of information on salicylic acid cleansers❤
Happy Monday, Dr. Dray and Friends! 🎊 Your advice to let the SA soap linger before rinsing has helped smooth my bumpy cheeks. I’ve been doing it for months now. Thanks for a great tip! ☮️💜
Happy Monday! Glad the tips have helped
How long do you let it linger?😊
@@keekeejenkins6162 Hi! I wait between 1 and 2 minutes before I rinse. It seems like a long time as you’re sitting there with cleanser on your face!😆 Another great tip is to rub the cleanser between your hands without making a frothy foam. It will resemble a cream - then apply to your face. After waiting, foam it up with water then rinse well. 😄☮️💜
@@barbowens8626 thank you
@@barbowens8626 helloo. What do you mean by after waiting? after applying the cleanser to the face? And how are you going to foam it with water? Is it like you're just going to wet your hands and foam it up in face?
I love Zapzyt salicylic acid cleanser. I tried it after I saw you using it. Gentle, effective and inexpensive.
*56yrs. old, SA cleanser 2x/day* . I've been using the Cerave SA Cleanser for two years. I was getting black and white heads on my cheeks and this product totally solved the issue within a few weeks. Consistent use has dramatically improved my overall texture and I have experienced zero irritation. It's a Holy Grail product for me.
May i know if it can be used on the eye lids and under eyes?
Thank you for your wisdom Dr. DRAY ..I've used many of your suggestions wothhreat results
I love the Alba Botanica Acne Dote face wash. Used it for years and it's the only thing that works for me. It's gentle and refreshing.
Thank you! So helpful. Can you please include in your videos whether ingredients and products are safe to use when pregnant and/or breastfeeding?
Beautiful timing. My CeraVe SA renewing cleanser just ran out!
Hello Doctor Andrea and everyone of course how are you my dearies ❤? Happy Monday and Good Morning or night wherever you are 😊. Today's video really got me excited not only because i love SA but also because I'm planning ahead for a gift to a special person of mine and take notes from you Miss Andrea 😊❤ about the ingredients and of course fragrance free options. So i got really happy when you said SA is anti-inflammatory as well apart from its other abilities 😊 (because my friend is an athlete so i really want to give him something to protect himself even more). Thank you for everything Doctor Andrea, you put so much effort in all your videos and it's really touching ❤.
Happy Monday 😊😊I've been using Cerave Blemish SA face wash in the mornings and I really like it. Inkey lists SA cleanser is pretty good too.
I use the Cerave SA cleansing bar you once suggested not only for my face but also on my underarms as I get them waxed and on my bum for bum acne. Works wonderfully on those areas 😊
Wish we had it in australia
Do you have an oily skin?
@@yasminemine6512 … No, normal and sensitive skin
Thankyue doctor dray definetely needed to hear that part where one can use a salicylic acid cleanser and a retinol later
I have been struggling with seborrheic dermatitis for the last couple of months and nothing had worked, until last Sunday when I started using a moisturizer from Cetaphil that has salicylic acid in it, and my lesions have improved greatly. I can barely see them now.
The Cetaphil cleanser was for acne was the one I use last time it worked very well especially since I have dry skin it was one of the acne cleanser is that I found that didn’t try out my skin
I’ve been using clearasil daily salicylic acid pads. They work great.
Good morning Dr. Dray. I am so appreciative of your videos. I have always had blackheads and they are so annoying. Also, you answered a question I had about using a retinol product with this. Thanks so much!!
Thats so true Doc, its individualized, i have used the La Roche Posay, its not the brand though, but i have sensitive skin and dry skin, and it dries my skin as hell. Im regularly using avene milk lotion cleanset and have tried a SA cleanser due to small bumps i have in face, maybe KP and zits problems. I guess SA is not for me. My KP was resolved by another actives im using. Thanks Doc im a regular viewer of yours.
Happy Monday! I think I'll try the Cerave!
Great timing. I am almost out of CreaVe SA, haven’t noticed much change. (60 y/o with dark spots). Going to try the Neutrogena stubborn texture formula at 1%.
TY, as always great professor!
SA is best for oil, pores, blackheads, etc. If you have dark spots like pigment then either AHA or pigment blockers (kojic acid, alpha arbutin, vit c, etc) will work better
How long do you leave it on before washing it off?
Always solid advice. Thank you.
What an educational video. In just the first 10 seconds I learned how to correctly pronounce salicyclic
OMG! I was just literally thinking of searching for this topic and this appeared on my recommendation without me typing it! what a coincidence. Thanks for this wonderful, informative, and in-depth video regarding sal acid wash, Dr. Dray!
same... she must have telepathy skills ^^
Same too 😂
I just ran out of the Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash (but I use the green out) and found out that one, the green one, is no longer available, so this video is super useful, since I need to find a new morning face wash.
Would you recommend one of these cleansers for rosacea? I'm a 51 year old female with some acne on the chin and other issues related to rosacea flare-ups. Thank you!
Happy Monday Dr Dray and everyone . This was a big help . Thanks ,. Have a fabulous day ! Love to mom and Tybee xoxoxo
Greetings Mary Ann Gonzalez hope u r well n Happy Monday😀👍💜….
Happy Monday
@@DrDrayzday Enjoy ! xoxoxo
@@whitneybrown4067 Have a great day my friend xoxoxo
Hi mary ann Gonzalez. Hope you're having a good start to your week and taking care.
That Cerave SA cleanser was brutal on my dry sensitive reactive skin. I have KP bumps on my neck and minor blemishes, so I thought this would help before shaving in the A.M, but it broke me out in an itchy red rash with extremely dry flaky skin. Took me a week to recover. I wasn't using any other treatment products apart from the Cerave hydrating lotion and IS clinical SPF 50.
Thanks for telling how it works with using actives after washing the face with an SA cleanser
I love the Cerave SA. It burned my eyelids, but now just careful to avoid them when I wash my face.
I wanted to tell you Dr. Dray to go to the Dollar Tree because I saw a lot of lemon themed goodies today.. They had glasses, plates, kitchen towels with lemons.
Love your channel and you have helped me so much in my skincare!! ❤
Thanks for watching
I love the Inkey List cleanser, strong but not drying for my skin.
Thank you SO much for this video Dr. i’ve been doing research for months bc nothing seems to work on my sensitive combination more oil side acne prone skin.
Can you please tell me which of those cleansers you mentioned should I use with my regime below for my acne and small bumps on cheek that won’t go away
- I started to use the La Roche Foaming Cleanser or sometimes the Cerave benzoyl peroxide foaming acne cleanser but idk if the benzoyl peroxide the one i always used is causing acne (which should i stick with?
-AM: Clindamycin Phosphate Gel 1%
- Moisturize
-Sunscreen
PM: Cleanser
-La Roche Adapalene Acne treatment
-Moisturize
PLEASE DR. can you tell me if te effaclar salicylic face wash is good in my regime or which one should i stick with and or can I use one day the foaming cleanser and the other the salicylic cleanser and if so which two exactly or which one exactly should i stick with?
PLEASE help me i’m lost completely🙏🏼😩 thanks so much for your time ❤️
Hi Dr Dray so excited to be here today I live for this ❤️
Greetings David Shabas hope u r well n Happy Monday😀👍💜….
Thanks for watching
@@whitneybrown4067 happy Monday Whitney 👍
I just wanted to say thank you I’ve been using the target brand wash and it has been great
I have Cetaphil body wash with salicylic acid 3%. I use it for my arms and back. I also use the Cetaphil acne face wash. It's nice
Great information! TFS!🥰
you are my skincare guru, you answer all my questions
What kind of body soap (also for eczema ) do you recommend? My son’s doctor recommended dove soap 16 years ago but I’m starting to think it’s not great for the family skin (and aging). We also use Aveeno everything.
You just read my mind, I spent the last 2 hours searching your channel about the subject 😍
Lovely video thanks so much ! 🙏🏼
Hello and Happy Monday Dr Dray! I knew this video was coming. I will use this for hyperpigmentation. 1:19
Happy Monday
I use Neutrogena Deep Clean Cream Cleanser. It has Salicylic Acid and my 66 year old skin loves it. There is a bit of fragrance and menthol in it but it's very mild and, as Dr. Dray always says, fragrance is okay in products that you wash off. I love a cream cleanser for my dry skin. It gently exfoliates and is non drying. I use it twice a day along with my retinol with no reaction. I use this cleanser in the AM followed by Gold Bond Pure and then my sunscreen....I love CVS Clear Zinc Lotion 50 Sunscreen. At night, I again use Neutrogena Deep Clean Cream Cleanser followed by Gold Bond Retinol Overnight and then, after it dries, Differin. Hope this helps anyone with dry, "wiser" skin. Thanks, Dr. Dray for giving me beautiful skin. Love your videos. Watch every day!
Thanks for sharing! I had a question about using it on my almost-60 skin! I also use adapalene at night, but I still have noticeable blackheads on my nose. I've been considering adding an SA cream or solution in the morning, but a cleanser might be better to start with.
I prefer the gentle cleanser verses a leave-on salicylic gel or cream. This way you're washing away the salicylic acid leaving just a small amount behind. Just a thought. It works for me. Hope you find the same results.
Sounds like a nice routine and budget friendly. I have darker skin with melasma and some sun damage.
Hi what do you think about Neutrogena 2percent salicylic pads? I use those.
Dr. Gray how about for arm body was or cleanser that have salicylic acid. I have keratosis pilaris aka chicken skin in arms. What is the best bar soap or body wash and lotion to use? Thank you
Hi, you're heaven sent, have learnt so much from your videos.
Have a question, can one use niacinamide (the ordinary formula) after salicylic acid face wash (by caudalie) and top it up with the Clinique moisturizer (moisture surge), as a morning routine, and replace the niacinamide for estee lauder recovery serum in the evening routine.
Thankyou!
So very helpful! Thank you.
Dr Dray, In looking for the most gentle and affordable SA cleanser I could find, I came across Clearasil Gentle Skin Perfecting Wash. Wondering what your thoughts on it are. Thanks.
Eucerin Pro Acne Solution Cleansing Gel is a good gentle salicylic face wash option too
Cetaphil with SA facial cleanser is great and gentle for my older oilier skin. Been using gels with SA for many years for acne spots with great success
I’m using that in my shower currently I’m enjoying it so far
i thought sa cleanser was for dry skin?
A great salicylic acid facial cleanser that I've been loving lately is the Eclat Salicylic Acid Cleanser. I ordered it from Amazon for $6, so it's very affordable, and, again, amazing. I find it be incredibly gentle and non drying. My skin actually feels quite smooth and moisturized after using it. It's formulated with aloe vera, tea tree oil, licorice root extract and green tea extract. I find it be a great cleanser for my mature skin.
I saw your comment and decided to try the Eclat cleanser...LOVE IT!! Thanks for the tip!
I use CeraVe Renewing SA cleanser on face and body too
Doc, I swear to God, you read minds!! I literally thought about this topic today, and wished a video for it lol thank you so much!! Have a great week ❤
Thanks for watching
I swear I went to search this exact info and - behold! Dr. Dray IS a mind reader lol
Being told to avoid SA washes while on accutane (understandably) but accutane is flaring up my seb dermatitis and SA helps this (or certainly did before accutane) but derm nurse told me to just leave it to gentle cleanser and push through or I’ll cause irritation. Am I okay to try the SA cleanser as the SD is just too itchy and flaky at this point!
I thought accutane was discontinued
@@Jooo923 in the US yes. I’m not in the US
Dr Dray check out the cetaphil salicylic acid body wash! I would love to hear your thoughts
Thank you. I add some to my shampoo for self diagnosed seborrheic dermatitis. Thoughts?
I feel like benzoyl peroxide works better than SA on my acne prone skin. Most of my acnes are flammable cystic acne. I have oily skin, and my face isn’t sensitive. I usually wash my face with Panoxyl and leave it on my skin for 5-10 minutes in the morning and use SA cleanser at night. It dried out my acne within a few days.
Requesting for review of KP (straberry/checkin skin) again. I was wondering if there was any new information you have for us KP people. I watched all of your KP clips 😊 and it helped me out alot, but as I have severe form of KP more information is always right for me 😅
A number of recent KP videos (past few months or so) tend to focus on topical products. There's one by skin by dr. azi that does mention in-office treatments.
Getting close to 2,000,000 subscribers!
Is there a concern for the salicylate poisoning if my son uses Paula’s Choice BHA all over his face, chest, and back to prevent acne once or sometimes twice per day? You said it’s a worry if over a large area.
I have seborrheic dermatitis behind my ears and keratosis pilaris on both my arms and I can attest that salicylic acid cleanser actually helps.
It helps control the flakiness of my ears (which unfortunately returns if I try a new hype face wash , sorry I'm weak to the hype😅)
I've been using the cerave SA lotion on my arms for long but haven't really seen improvements until I started washing the KP on my arms with the face wash with continued use of the lotion. It's noticeably smoother than before.
The face wash I use is the Acne Care variant from Senka. A japanese brand under Shiseido. Really effective in keeping my face pimple free too. Just try not to get it on your hair as I wash my neck and the back of my neck with it too and it left my ends dry because I do leave it on while I wash the rest of my body to get the SA in it to work.
My dermatologist has me use Cerave SA wash in the morning 2-3 times a week and leave it on for 3 minutes. It works for my blackheads and smooths the way for my actives I use daily. It has helped with my hyperpigmentation as well.
Which cerave SA cleanser you use SA renewing one or SA smoothing one ?
@@khawagalozaka7675 That's the same product only one is for EU market and other for US
This is just my experience with Salicylic Acid face wash... I guess I have sensitive skin because my face started breaking out everywhere after using it only a few times then I stopped... all because I thought it would make my face "smoother" when actually it caused painful under skin pimples (which I rarely get) and now I have dark spots from where they were. Instead try using a gentle cleanser to avoid from what happened to me.
What’s the best cleanser for mature comb/oily skin?
Do you have an updated video on sun protective clothing/umbrellas?
I use SA facial cleanser on my back daily as a wash to control my acne, should I be concerned about toxicity? Love your videos!
Can you do video on pH dependance of BHA’S & AHA’S effectiveness. How this impacted by other creams, other buffers on face. They are weak acids after all, so I assume they are typically a salt when applied. I could be wrong.
Really informative video. For my adult acne I find the combination of daily Peach Slices clarifying in the AM, daily tretinoin in the PM, plus Paula’s Choice 9% salicylic acid dotted on any emerging spots as needed to be a fantastic combination. And CosRx hydrocolloid patches for any breakthrough blemishes.
9%??
Any feedback on Cosrx Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser? It contains 0.5% betaine salicylate and then claims it has 5,000 ppm Tea Tree Oil. I believe you have previously mentioned Tea Tree has some positive benefits, but also could be irritating. Thank you.
Is there a similar video on benzoyl peroxide cleansers? I'm wondering if it is okay to use in my morning routine with my vitamin C serum?
what are your thoughts on the april skin line? the cleanser says it has micellar properties
Hi Dr., I had Ellacore 2 weeks ago and after using white petrolium for 3 days, I started using the creams form the office and had an allergic reaction to them. took a steroid pak after and that helped a lot, but now I'm still getting little allergy bumps and not sure what to do. I'm 65 and have pretty clear skin, but now not so much. Help please!
Keratosis Polaris is what I have on my arms did not know it can help. Can you use differen gel with Salcylic acid with it?
So can I use this before applying differin or epiduo? In the past you've mentioned salicylic acid can inactivate the differin.
Can I use cerave renewing SA cleanser with the ordinary alpha arbutin serum?????
Skin type oily in summers
Normal in winters
I've tried all of these - my fave is Peach Slices, which I use once a day with great success. Consistency is key! I've also discovered that after lathering to my face, if I massage the bit of lather leftover on my hands to my upper arms, it completely clears my mild KP and leaves my upper arms smooth as silk. Love love love this product and could never be without - thank you Dr Dray for recommending!
How do you think it compares to the cetaphil gentle clear?
Hi Dr Dray - does salicylic acid face wash cause purging? I have breakouts on my chin & jawline. TY
I'm surprised no one ever mentions the cerave Psoriasis wash! It has 2% salicylic acid, lactic acid, glycolic acid and urea. Its super strong but its the best thing I've ever used for my seborrheic dermatitis and keratosis pilaris!
I have kp on my cheeks, neck, tummy, back, arms and legs. I've been using the Walmart brand salicylic acid 3% wash for years just on my back. I recently started using it almost everywhere when I take a shower each day. I leave it on a few minutes. Maybe it could be toxic to use it almost all over every day?
