People need to keep in mind that when you start a skin routine, you need to give it 6 weeks. Your skin will look worse(purge) before it looks better. It's not a fast process but you gotta stick with it and be patient. Alot of people give up after 2 weeks because their skin breaks out but you gotta push past it.

[@renrenaron]

Thank you so much!!! I actually gonna give up of using salicylic acid cuz I experience purging right now so yeah, but thanks god I saw ur comment... thanks!!!

Thx I just started using niacinamide twice last week due to me having bad hyperpigmentation + line marks and uneven skintone and started to experience few break out and using salicylic this week. Im starting slow just to avoid further break out

[@AnnaBrown99]

It depends, I don't believe in skin purging unless it is a skin care given as a prescription by a dermatologist and they already mention purging as a side effect. Especially if the purging is not in a form of acne or white/blackheads. I would prefer to stop using the product.

[@ashleyquinsay9523]

@@AnnaBrown99this was my experience with Tretinoin when prescribed it and started using it. I was warned it would cause acne under the skin to surface, but that after 4 weeks the acne would start to calm down which it did. But I agree if it red and irritated and lots of peeling you don’t push thru that.

I have experienced pimples for a year. I began getting better by doing little things like using a clean towel and changing my pillowcase often. I use a mild face wash from litttlextrra riiceberry which is pH balanced. Consistency has worked the most. Now, I have an easy 3-step regimen that I use every day, and I'm slowly recovering. It has improved my confidence. Let's stay positive together!

Couple Salicylic Acid with Benzoyl Peroxide, and you have a winner!! Combining these together has cleared my acne completely. I use Salicylic Acid soap in the morning, and Benzoyl Peroxide paste at night. Now I only get ONE pimple every once in awhile, and it goes away far more quickly. This combo has kept new acne from coming in. I also use Frankincense and myrrh soap (at night with the benzoyl peroxide), and aloe vera moisturizer twice a day, and it's been a game changer. After my acne cleared, I was left with very noticeable acne scarring, but the frankincense/myrrh soap and aloe vera moisturizer are slowly but surely fading away the scars! Using cold water only has made it even better in reducing the inflammation and redness in my face. It's all a slow process, but it's well worth it!

[@johnmark8560]

Salicylic acid is good but it doesn’t prevent new acne from forming. For oily skin, keep your routine simple, respect your skin and don’t be over aggressive with it. If you can handle the side effects, use Tretinoin and a moisturiser as a buffer like Cerave. And that’s it. Personally, I couldn’t handle the tension headaches from tret, so I’m now using Azelaic acid, which is doing okay. I believe eating lots of fruit and veg and keeping hydrated helps your skin from within. Don’t just rely on products, they’re just part of a bigger picture.

[@abrahamlunchtime5421]

Is it better than tretinoin

​​@@abrahamlunchtime5421no. Salicylic acid isn't effective, especiallyfor more severe cases of acne & hyperpigmentation & acne scarring. Trentotin is usually considered to be the better treatment in this case.

I use a SA cleanser everyday. Then 2% SA solution every week. And also 7% glycolic acid toner every week. Don’t over exfoliate because it will damage your skin barrier and makes you super sensitive. I also use Vitamin C to lighten hyperpigmentation from acne scars. Its working great.

My advice is to not switch to other products quickly, start off slow introducing new products, otherwise you're going to interrupt your skins process into getting used to the product. Avoid tretinoin unless advised by a dermatologist. Try and use salicylic acid as it is best for acne prone skin, but only use a light layer, if it does irritate you can switch to lactic acid, but that does not penetrate deep into the skin as much as salicylic acid.

Hey Maxine, yes either salicylic acid product will be fine. You will get a better result from a mask or serum as it is left on the skin longer and able to penetrate deeper. So you could purchase both the salicylic acid cleanser and the masque if you wish - just don’t use at the same time. I would suggest using the benzoyl peroxide cleanser and retinoid separately though as it can be irritating to your skin barrier.

On the package it says to use twice a day but I thought it would be too rough for my skin. is this okay? should i use it more or less?

[@SkinZoneTV]

Great question! After treating hundreds of clients with their skin concerns we find exfoliating that often is way too much and strips your skin’s barrier (the acid mantle) Unfortunately some brands still list you can use it daily when it should be personalised for each person but No more than 3 x per week. Because you have been struggling with acne you could also add a retinoid to your routine. I would cut it back to using your salicylic acid 2 x per week but also incorporate a retinoid which you could include on the alternative nights with 1 or 2 recovery night. It could look like this Morning - cleanse, moisturise Night 1 - cleanse x 2, salicylic acid solution, moisturise Night 2 - cleanse x2, retinoid, moisturise Night 3 - cleanse x 2, moisturise (recovery night) Night 4 - cleanse x 2, moisturise (recovery night) REPEAT

Will it have negative effects in the long run if i use it almost daily (for combination skin)? When i incorporated with retinol, I had breakouts again so im using it daily. Thanks!

[@SkinZoneTV]

Hey there, that is because retinol is also exfoliating. You don’t use both together or on the same day :) Over exfoliating will cause an impaired skin barrier and can either lead to excessive oil flow with breakouts or dry sensitive skin. Retinol is excellent, but you need to be mindful how often you use that and salicylic acid. I would have a break from actives until your skin clears up and then slowly reintroduce xx

Is it normal to feel itchy whenever I apply dermorepubliq 2% salicylic acid toner?

[@SkinZoneTV]

Salicylic acid can tingle when you first apply it but if it’s itching for a unusual amount of time you may have an impaired skin barrier or allergic. Best to stop use for a while and repair the skin barrier. It could also be you are using it too often

Hi! I have cystic acne from PCOS and sensitive skin I am looking into what products to start useing right now I just use a sensitive skin cleanser from La Roche posey and sensitive skin balm with b5. I was considering useing ordinary products the ones I was looking at were hyaluronic acid niacinamide and zinc Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution Can I use all of these togather? If so what order do I use them? If you have any advice I'd Greatly appreciate it! I'm just so tired of my acne and feel lost about what to do..

[@SkinZoneTV]

Start with niacinamide + retinoid in the evening but - introduce retinoid slowly 2-3 x per week, so just alternate evenings. Use salicylic acid once per week, again to allow your skin to adjust. Then you can increase frequency. e.g. Night 1 Cleanse x 2 Niacinamide retinoid Moisturiser Night 2 Cleanse x 2 Niacinamide Moisturiser Night 3 Cleanse Salicylic Acid Moisturiser Night 4 Cleanse x 2 Niacinamide Retinoid Moisturiser repeat Less is more, don't over do it

Hi,can i use benton bha toner(it has 0.5 salicylic acid) and after lactic acid 5% and also i have purito centella unscented serum Do i have do use them on separate days? Or it's fine to use each night I have many milia and closed comedones

[@SkinZoneTV]

I wouldn’t use the salicylic acid toner on the same day as using an exfoliating serum - too much for the skin and can cause an imbalanced skin barrier Not sure what the purito centella serum is for? What ingredients is in it?

Hi I used the salicylic acid, 2 days in I stated having more acne worst than it was should I keep using ?

[@karinachavez2803]

It’s probably a purge. The purging is that hardest thing to go through because it lasts 4-6 weeks. Just make sure you don’t use it more than 3x per week when starting off.

[@bookbutterfly2408]

Salicylic acid did nothing for my level 3-4 cystic acne. It only make my skin drier & flakier. Gycolic acid was more effective, but only to a certain extent. The only thing that helped me was a round of accutane (8 months) & using perscription topical retonal cream for superficial scarring.

[@Jasmine215100]

I think Accutane is probably the most effective medication for most types of Acne and/or oily skin. I wish they had this when I was in middle school in the 1960s!

[@didisaidhi]

Hi First of all thank you for the wonderful vid. I have been using Neutrogena salicylic acid cleaner for almost 2 years and i think i am going to be fine with only that source of salicylic acid in my routine. My current routine is: Am: Salicylic acid cleaner Hyaluronic acid from the ordinary Moisturizer Spf if i get out of the house Pm: Salicylic acid cleaner Lactic acid from the ordinary Niacinamide Moisturizer I have a dry and sensitive skin, however i get pimples (but mostly on my cheeks, rarely in T-Zone) My question is now, are there any other ingredients that you would add to this routine or is there anything that you would remove/correct in this routine? Should i consider having retinol in my routine? I wasn't sure if i should have retinol in my routine because of my dry sensitive skin Thank you in advance for the time and effort

hello i am using salicylic acid 2%, and my skin starts to dry is it okay if I peel it or should i wait how many days until i am able to peel it?

[@SkinZoneTV]

Hey, Do not peel your skin! It Sounds like your skin needs moisture. Are you moisturising? And how often are you exfoliating? Max 2x per week is plenty.

[@Indu4748]

Hey! Even I started using it my flaks are developing and it is getting peeled is that okay....how many days did it take to get normal completely??

[@homosapien.a6364]

how long would it take to start seeing some results?

[@SkinZoneTV]

Hey! depends on the product you are using. You may also experience skin purging (breakouts) for 4-6 weeks if you have congestion underneath your skin which is normal. With consistent use once to twice weekly - you will start to see an improvement. It will also come down to other skincare products you are using in your routine

Do not use it with glycerin.. Bcz glycerin makes ur skin oily. So use salycilic acid+propeyln glycol.. It's the best combo for oily skin with pimples, acne, white/black heads. And its not expensive.. Below 100 for 100ml

My routine is: Morning: cleanser + niacinamide + salicylic acid + moisturizer Night: cleanser + niacinamide + retinol.

[@SkinZoneTV]

You are using the retinol and salicylic way to often, they shouldn’t be used on the same day too. It sounds like your skin’s barrier is compromised and you need to work on repairing your skin barrier before you reintroduce actives again
