All about Salicylic acid
Ortho-hydroxybenzoic acid or as most would know it, salicylic acid (C7H6O3) works to remove built up dirt and grime on your skin’s surface as well as purify and exfoliate, improving the overall appearance of your skin which lets be honest, we could all use at some point!
Besties: Glycolic acid, Lactic acid, Hyaluronic acid and Niacinamide
Enemies: Vitamin C and Retinol
Star Sign Compatibility Libra’s are the most pure star sign of all, incorporating salicylic acid into your skincare might not make you as pure as a libra, but your skin definitely will be.
How to use: Salicylic acid works best when applied after cleansing and toning, but before moisturizing. Salicylic acid is safe to use everyday, but it is recommended to start with 3 times a week and build up usage. Make sure if you are using salicylic acid gels that they contain no more than 5% salicylic acid and no more than 1-2% for solutions like cleansers and toners.
