Frequently Asked Questions
Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid that gently removes the top layer of dead skin to refine the look of the skin’s surface. On oily skin it helps control excess shine and can leave skin looking clearer and smoother. It works on the surface, targeting the appearance of an uneven or congested-looking complexion.
Yes. Salicylic acid suits oily and combination skin because it helps control excess shine and reduce the look of excess oil across the surface. Used regularly it can help skin appear clearer and more even, refining the look of enlarged-appearing pores and leaving a smoother, more matte-looking finish.
Most people start two to three times a week and build up as their skin adjusts. Because it exfoliates the surface, over-use can leave skin looking dry or feeling sensitive, so introduce it gradually. Follow with a moisturiser to keep skin looking hydrated, and always apply sunscreen during the day.
Salicylic acid can be layered with hydrating and soothing ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid for a balanced routine. Take more care combining it with other exfoliating acids or vitamin A products, as using several at once can leave skin looking dry or feeling irritated. Introduce one new product at a time.
A cleanser rinses away, giving a brief surface action that helps control excess shine as you wash. A leave-on product such as a tonic or serum stays on the skin, so its exfoliating effect on the look of the surface is more pronounced. Many routines use a gentle cleanser plus one leave-on product.
