I had a mole on my face , had grown out of nowhere and I made peace with myself that I have to live my life with that thing on my face . But then I had some bad acne episodes, god blessed that acne . And I started using SA wash to stop the acne . Guess what happened? The dam mole dried out,that’s how I figured out it was a wart not a mole.😅
I used a salicylic acid serum for years before I started on Tretinoin. It’s definitely effective for exfoliating and sunspots and giving your skin a nice smooth texture.
I used salicylic acid for years and still had awful skin. Now, I'm realizing it was probably all of the "natural fragrances" and "organic botanical extracts" that were so irritating. My skin still sucks but benzoyl peroxide, clyndamiacin, tretinoin, and unscented drug store products are helping a ton.
It’s just everyone skin different plus those studies keep changing maybe in future they will claim something else work. Doctors only practice what they read and studies already around not in lab all day doing researchers and experiments.
Most salicylic products do have a lot of extra irritating ingredients like menthol, especially the cheap drugstore ones like Stridex or Oxy . You might want to try a salicylic acid wash instead, if you keep it on for a few minutes it still works but washing it off makes it less likely to irritate.
Your using tretinoin? You might want to try 2% salicylic acid or lower concentration, along with tret but do not use it on the same day/time you use tret... Its purpose is for exfoliation like use it 2x a week
I, too, have awful skin. I am so sorry, but for some reason, your comment was rather comforting to me. I feel less alone. I don't like looking at my skin in the mirror, at all!!!
I use a salicylic acid face wash and tend to leave it on while I shower. A huge help in preventing breakouts (I always regret trying new face washes because of this) I used to go wash my neck and nape with it too but has since stopped with the nape. Leaving it on made it go to my hair and unfortunately dried it out so keep it to your face and neck 😅

I'm three and a half months on tretinoin now and waiting for my skin to fully get adjusted to it before incorporating other actives into my routine. Can't wait to slowly add in salicylic acid, niacinamide and vitamin c in particular. This skin is gonna have such a healthy glow!

I was thinking about this earlier! I realized it’s anti-inflammatory because I remember a while back when I heard that aspirin breaks down into salicylic acid. (or ibuprofen?)
Is salicylic acid supposed to cause skin to peel over time? I can't use over the counter products with salicylic acid daily because it makes my face peel. In fact, I have to use it rarely on my nose or else my nose will literally start cracking.
Been using salicylic acid with niacinamide for 2 years and the occasional acne I get doesn't leave marks. But when I stopped using SA once I noticed acne left PIH.
Salicylic acid makes me purge purge purge. Red and itchy. I took aspirin once and it made me feel funny. Many years later I found out they’re related. Makes sense now. I might be intolerant or sensitive to it.
Same. People can use a SA cleanser daily and it keeps their skin clear while mine just can’t stop purging and getting red. I don’t purge with benzoyl peroxide so I prefer that. BP does draw out the pus but after that it flattens the pimple. It doesn’t keep popping up new ones for me unlike SA.

Salicylic Acid is a superstar ingredient along with Niacinamide. Definitely two of the best actives out there
Niscinamide is not an active ingredient

Hi Dr. Dray🌷thanks for this info. Have a great night. 😊
Salicylic acid or azelaic acid, which is better for oily dehydrated tight acne prone skin?

It must be a tinted sunscreen ? Looks great on you! Do you mind the sharing name of the product ?

Can i use a regular salicylic acid on my face/pimple??
What about redness with rosacea? Can salicylic avoid help or harm it?
Taken as aspirin or used in a topical lotion?
So does that also mean benzoyl peroxide is also going to help with acne not healing with a dark mark since it's also anti inflammatory?
I was thinking about this earlier! I realized it’s anti-inflammatory because I remember a while back when I heard that aspirin breaks down into salicylic acid. (or ibuprofen?)
Your makeup is so pretty! Is it true that if you’re allergic to aspirin you shouldn’t use salicylic acid?
yes, aspirin is actually salicyclic acid
@@jannatnoor5816 Thank you!
I did because you taught me so well lol
OMG thanks so much ❤
So interesting. I bet it's good for eye bags if it's anti-inflammatory

Same. I gave all my SA products to my sister. She uses them without any issues.
Makes sense, related to ASA.
It broke my face out but healed my back. Trying to heal my face now.
nice to know!!!
My skin is over oily, any suggestions to control the oil?
Niacinamide or salicylic acid
@@gensai93 thank you!
i use clay masks
SA didn’t help me at all.I still have acne which always leaves dark pigmentation, scar after using it for months..
What's your skin type?
It’s in the same family as aspirin (aka acetylsalicylic acid)!
Hi Doc...Can Salicylic acid be use on combination skin (Dry,oily,acne prone and sensitive skin)??
I believe it works best on oily skin followed by a moisturizer because of if chemical composition.
Necklace twinning!
How does it differ to glycolic acid?
SA is a BHA, Glycolic acid is an AHA - the rest Google will help you with 😉💞
I bought Nizoral 3% salicylic acid shampoo for psoriasis & use it as a face wash. It's great. I also found a generic version at Walgreens.
The more you know!😊
