Salicylic acid Benefits
● Salicylic acid is an exfoliant
Salicylic acid is considered a keratolytic, which means it's great for exfoliating your skin. "Keratolytic medications cause the top layer of skin cells to soften and shed," says Rachel Nazarian, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist in New York City.
● Salicylic Acid Helps Reduce Inflammation
"Salicylic acid also has anti-inflammatory and skin-calming properties," says Kim. But be sure to use this acid as directed, as overuse of any exfoliator can lead to dryness and peeling.
● Salicylic Acid Helps Fight Acne
Salicylic acid is antimicrobial, and according to board-certified dermatologist Karan Lal, MD, of Schweiger Dermatology Group, it can penetrate deep into pores and destroy open and closed comedones (again, because BHA is oil-soluble). This also helps reduce the appearance of pesky acne-causing hyperpigmentation.
● Salicylic acid penetrates deep into the pores
"Salicylic acid is oil-soluble and penetrates deeper into pores than AHAs," says Mikailov. It even works deep into pores to help remove dirt, oil, and excess sebum. Clearer pores appear smaller, which means skin looks soft and smooth.
● Salicylic Acid Helps Promote a Healthy Scalp
"It's also used in anti-dandruff shampoos because of its keratolytic properties, as it helps loosen dry dandruff," says Mikailov. If you notice dandruff on your scalp, consult a trichologist or dermatologist to see if a salicylic acid formula is right for you.
Use of Salicylic Acid
Salicylic acid is best for oily and acne-prone skin types.
Since it is a bit drying, people with very dry or sensitive skin should avoid this ingredient.
Salicylic acid is tolerable in most cases, but some people do find it drying. The truth is, that's what this active ingredient is for. Its main benefit is to suck out excess oil, so if you don't have excess oil to begin with, you'll just find your skin is tight, dry, and even slightly irritated.
