Products Containing Salicylic Acid
Combat acne and breakouts with Biotrade's salicylic acid-based skincare solutions. Salicylic acid exfoliates pores, unclogs them, and reduces excess oil for clearer skin.
What is Salicylic Acid?
Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) derived from willow bark. In skincare, it works by exfoliating the skin, penetrating deep into pores to remove excess oil and dead skin cells. Salicylic acid is particularly effective for treating acne and is suitable for oily and acne-prone skin types.
How to Use Salicylic Acid in Your Skincare Routine
When using salicylic acid in your skincare routine, apply it after cleansing and before moisturising. Start with a lower concentration, using it 2-3 times a week, and gradually increase frequency. Salicylic acid products can be combined with hydrating and soothing ingredients to address specific concerns without causing irritation.
What Are the Primary Benefits of Using Salicylic Acid in Skincare?
Salicylic acid benefits include exfoliation, acne treatment, and pore cleansing. It helps to clear blackheads, reduce inflammation, and prevent future breakouts. Products containing salicylic acid are ideal for oily or acne-prone skin, providing clearer, smoother skin by keeping pores unclogged and free from impurities.
How Often Should I Use Salicylic Acid Products?
If you’re wondering how often you should use products with salicylic acid, it’s recommended to aim for 2-3 times per week, depending on your skin type and concerns. For oily or acne-prone skin, it can be used more frequently. Gradually adjust usage based on your skin’s tolerance to avoid dryness or irritation.
Can Salicylic Acid Be Combined With Other Active Ingredients?
Salicylic acid can be safely combined with other actives like benzoyl peroxide or retinol. When layering, use salicylic acid first, followed by other treatments, ensuring you monitor your skin for irritation. To prevent over-exfoliation, alternate days when using potent combinations of salicylic acid and other actives.
