HOW TO USE SALICYLIC ACID FACE WASH 🚿 Dermatologist

[@InThisSceneProductions]

Good morning Dr Dray! I’ve been watching your videos for the last 2 years after dealing with severe PCOS acne for most of my life. Today I’ll be graduating from my MBA program with clear, glowing skin thanks to your help. Appreciate all your hard work!

Salicylic Acid has always been so good to me. As an oily girl, SA has really been vital to manage my acne and prevent post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It's honestly my go to for almost instant results. Within days of using it, my acne lesions are less noticeable and my skin texture significantly improves. I can always rely on it.

I tested besan flour as facewash, but it rather lead to skin rash. As a result, later, I switched to littleextraa riceberry face wash, and trust me, my skin has greatly benefitted from this and got better than how it was... pimple and spots reduced, blemishes faded, pore size reduced a lot, and skin has become more glowing and smoother, and I am getting compliments from friends these days.

I have acne, but my skin is also quite prone to dehydration, and I really second your suggestion of not using too much! Not only does it make sure it gets completely rinsed off, but it also makes the cleanse itself more gentle. Many SA cleansers are formulated to be a bit stronger in terms of cleansing properties, and if you find that it leaves you feeling a dry, using less can make a big difference! There's less surfactent going on your face, which makes the cleanse more mild. The cleansers with pumps can mislead us to believe that one full pump is necessary/okay, when in reality, less than half a pump would be adequate to clean most people's faces, and a full pump can leave a lot of people feeling dry. I discovered this initially by just trying to save money - I wanted to reduce how much product I was using as much as possible, so I started experimenting with the quantity of cleanser used. With most foaming cleansers, I learned that a pea sized amount can be sufficient to not only adequately cleanse my face but also to minimise the dehydrating effects of cleansing. I apply this rule to all cleansers I've used, regardless of the active ingredients, and I've been consistently shown that I can get away with using less than I initially expected. Cream/non-foaming cleansers are a bit different, though, because they have somewhat less spreadability due to the lack of lather and are usually very mild already. This habit has also reduced the frequency with which I buy cleansers. These days, I opt for ones with a shelf life of 6-12 months because I take a good while to finish even 200ml cleansers.

[@jcchan3392]

Use encapsulated salicylic acid face wash to country dryness issues

[@trendorina]

Yes! Almost any cleanser dried my skin out. 😅 Then I started using smaller quantities of cleanser . And voilà! My skin was cleansed, but never dry again.😊

I've tried so many facewashes, but nothing was as effective as Riceberry Facewash by little extra. It's made with black rice and white mulberry, and brightens and gives immediate glow to my skin.

[@ashleymejia8971]

Yes! I love their stubborn texture line as well and I’m 30. It’s the perfect jelly texture where you can get a lather but it’s not harsh. I’ve even mixed some into my shampoo for a clarifying effect and it works perfectly.

It's formulated with aloe vera, tea tree oil, licorice root extract and green tea extract. I find it be a great cleanser for my mature skin.

Walgreen's has a great dupe for Cera Ve; it is also a gel, also has ceramides, vitamin d, and is not at all irritating, although caveat - I am very oily, especially at this time of the year. I generally use it 2x/day now, but 1x/day in winter, alternating w/a hydrating cleanser at night when I use retinol. I've never had a problem with eyelid drying, as you described. They don't give the percentage SA, but I would assume .5% since 2% would be super drying. It's not drying but does a really good job of removing the oil. They're having a sale right now, buy 1, get 1 half off if anyone is interested!

I use Neutrogena Deep Clean Cream Cleanser. It has Salicylic Acid and my 66 year old skin loves it. There is a bit of fragrance and menthol in it but it's very mild and, as Dr. Dray always says, fragrance is okay in products that you wash off. I love a cream cleanser for my dry skin. It gently exfoliates and is non drying. I use it twice a day along with my retinol with no reaction. I use this cleanser in the AM followed by Gold Bond Pure and then my sunscreen....I love CVS Clear Zinc Lotion 50 Sunscreen. At night, I again use Neutrogena Deep Clean Cream Cleanser followed by Gold Bond Retinol Overnight and then, after it dries, Differin. Hope this helps anyone with dry, "wiser" skin. Thanks, Dr. Dray for giving me beautiful skin. Love your videos. Watch every day!

Thanks for sharing! I had a question about using it on my almost-60 skin! I also use adapalene at night, but I still have noticeable blackheads on my nose. I've been considering adding an SA cream or solution in the morning, but a cleanser might be better to start with.

I prefer the gentle cleanser verses a leave-on salicylic gel or cream. This way you're washing away the salicylic acid leaving just a small amount behind. Just a thought. It works for me. Hope you find the same results.

I actually use the Neutrogena sal shampoo once in a while because I get a lot of buildup on my scalp, not from products, but just general dead skin. One time I decided to lather my face along with my hair, and I discovered that maybe it’s the 3% salicylic acid, but it really seemed to make my face feel smooth after the shower that time. So I periodically when I do use that shampoo, I will use it on my face as well. It does not dry me out or irritate me.

So far it’s been great!

[@samrittenhouse]

I've tried all of these - my fave is Peach Slices, which I use once a day with great success. Consistency is key! I've also discovered that after lathering to my face, if I massage the bit of lather leftover on my hands to my upper arms, it completely clears my mild KP and leaves my upper arms smooth as silk. Love love love this product and could never be without - thank you Dr Dray for recommending!

I started using the up&up salicylic acid face wash a while ago and my skin already feels a lot smoother.

Since I started using the face wash, I don’t get huge breakouts anymore and they aren’t as common. I’m definitely seeing an improvement in my acne. The only problem is I have dry skin so it can be a bit drying, which is why I pair it with the Eyude House hydro barrier cream. Thank you for the recommendation!

I’ve been using salicylic acid cleansers from Versed, Herbivore, and Current State. They all have some bonus anti-inflammatory ingredients thrown in and I’ve found them to be less drying and irritating than Cerave’s salicylic acid cleansers. The Versed one, in particular, is really creamy and not drying and also contains blue tansy. The Herbivore one is a gel consistency, but has a ton of anti-inflammatory ingredients thrown in, such as blue tansy, aloe, zinc PCA, and tumeric. The Current State one has a creamy consistency and contains aloe and green tea and a handful of other exfoliating acids on top.

I just ran out of the Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash (but I use the green out) and found out that one, the green one, is no longer available, so this video is super useful, since I need to find a new morning face wash.

[@survivorswapped7637]

I use cerave's acne control cleanser with salicylic acid and I only use it three times a week. the other times I use their hydrating facial cleanser. If I use it too many days it makes my skin too dry.

[@zuewaley8249]

Thankyue doctor dray definetely needed to hear that part where one can use a salicylic acid cleanser and a retinol later

[@jenb8229]

Over the past month I have developed acne (painful cystic acne) which I never had before, even as a teen. Just picked up the oil free acne wash you recommended in your videos. Hoping it helps.

[@mickyo7171]

If it does not, try La Roche Posay Effeclar cleanser. Use a moisturizer or mineral sunscreen after. Clean your face using your hands with a bit of water-don’t scrub your face.

So are we supposed to use salicylic face wash to get rid of eye wrinkles?

[@thanosfield2642]

Hello Doctor Andrea and everyone of course how are you my dearies ❤? Happy Monday and Good Morning or night wherever you are 😊. Today's video really got me excited not only because i love SA but also because I'm planning ahead for a gift to a special person of mine and take notes from you Miss Andrea 😊❤ about the ingredients and of course fragrance free options. So i got really happy when you said SA is anti-inflammatory as well apart from its other abilities 😊 (because my friend is an athlete so i really want to give him something to protect himself even more). Thank you for everything Doctor Andrea, you put so much effort in all your videos and it's really touching ❤.

Dr Dray should salicylic face wash be used with mature, extremely dry, sensitive skin? I am irritated with most acids, vitamin c, etc. Thank you!

[@DrDrayzday]

Will vary from person to person.

[@321morlan4]

Thank you, I will give the cerave a try, just infrequently. Have learned so much from you!

[@keekeejenkins6162]

The cetaphil she mentioned is a gentle cream base, doesn't dry my skin at all, it's just awkward application-wise

[@321morlan4]

@Keekee Jenkins thank you! I might try the cetaphil one instead then. I always thought salicylic was for acne, didnt realize could also work for antiaging. So hard to keep dry skin at bay in my wiser years!

[@keekeejenkins6162]

​@@321morlan4 same! I'm thinking in the 90s in junior high I used the neutrogena one it dried the heck out of my skin so I stayed away from SA

[@jacobtapia213]

Do you think it will be ok if I use both a SA cleanser for my face and an SA bar for skin? What is the likelihood of getting that poisoning?

[@Syafzehar99]

Is it okay to use salicylic acid face wash while on accutane?

[@Maybehomebody]

Requesting for review of KP (straberry/checkin skin) again. I was wondering if there was any new information you have for us KP people. I watched all of your KP clips 😊 and it helped me out alot, but as I have severe form of KP more information is always right for me 😅

[@db-gb5xi]

A number of recent KP videos (past few months or so) tend to focus on topical products. There's one by skin by dr. azi that does mention in-office treatments.

[@niksan_908]

Yes! I've been loving SA. Using it along side tretinoin, niacinamide, urea, HA, ceramides and my acne and congestion have diminished significantly.

[@Rallya1]

Hi, can I ask what your am and pm routines are? Really interested in how you incorporated these ingredients and do you get any irritation? Thanks.

[@niksan_908]

@@Rallya1 Sure! So my baseline skin used to be moderate acne and moderately oily to combo. So in the morning I use a foam cleanser called Sebonorm or the CeraVe SA rough and dry skin cleanser. After that on damp skin I put an HA serum and I top it off with thqe CeraVe rough and dry skin cream - it has SA, 10% urea, niacinamide and ceramides. In the evening use one of those mentioned cleansers, after that on damp skin I used to apply the HA serum again, but lately I dont feel the need to, so after washing I apply Acnatac - it's perscription clyndamicin+ .1% tretinoin gel on most nights , at least 5/7 and I top it off with the CeraVe SA rough and dry skin cream like in the mornings or I have some other creams that I have arround, but basically that's it. I'd like to say that until I reached this point its beem a journey and its been atleast 6-9 months since I slowly started adding all this stuff. And my skin can take some beating so idk if the SA that I use won't be 2 much for you, but like I said Ive built up to it slowly. Now Im loving my own routine it was made by myself, although I am a doctor Im not a derm so it was a hit and miss process. But now its great, works for me and the results are amazing. I used to try AHAs in everithing but it does not compare to SA, it gives me a better and deeper efect tha AHAs without the (photo)sensitivity. SA did take more time to show results compared to AHAs but SA is king for me.

[@niksan_908]

I'd love to hear what y'all think about my routine - any suggestions? Especially @DrDrayzday

[@Rallya1]

@@niksan_908 I love your routine, thank you for replying. Will be looking into these products to see how they work for me, thanks again.

[@niksan_908]

Ur welcome! P.S. Honesty, the CeraVe SA rough and dry skin cream and the tret+clyndamicin are the two product s that changed everything for me and I love them, just start slow and it does wonders. Good luck! Cheers from Bulgaria!

I am 50 yr old lady plz guide which five products of CeraVe should I buy including face wash ' moisturizer' night cream ' any anti-aging etc ( my skin is slightly dry but few wrinkles) for my daily routine. thanks

[@Michelle-sp3jp]

Good morning Dr. Dray. I am so appreciative of your videos. I have always had blackheads and they are so annoying. Also, you answered a question I had about using a retinol product with this. Thanks so much!!

[@keekeejenkins6162]

The cetaphil gentle clear is weird consistency wise. I have to make sure my hands are dry before applying b/c the cleanser just gets mushed in between my fingers as opposed to spreading evenly on my face. I'm not sure if that makes sense 😅

[@321morlan4]

Makes sense to me!☺️

[@Hemmyii]

It definitely does that but I just keep scooping up the drops from between my fingers and it will foam up on my face. Kind of annoying but it works so well and is so gentle it’s worth it to me. Their SA body wash doesn’t do that. I always wondered if that would work on the face but too chicken to try
