Every person’s worst nightmare – acne breakouts. From being an obstruction in all your plans, to being a long, painful process to get rid of it, acne wins the prize as the worst enemy. Worried if you’re struggling alone? Don’t worry, we’re all in the same boat.
We at Zayn and Myza have a solution for your endless search for ways to get rid of Acne. Look for skincare products that contain Salicylic Acid. We are sure you have come across this word pretty often. But understanding how to use it and what benefits it reaps is also important. Read through this blog and get salicylic acid savvy.
Before diving deep into benefits and applications, let’s know the basics first.
What Is Salicylic Acid?
Salicylic Acid is an ingredient extracted from willow tree bark. It is a type of chemical exfoliant called beta hydroxy acid, which is oil-soluble.
Acne or breakouts is a skin condition where the pores of one’s skin get clogged due to bacteria, debris, sebum, and dead skin cells. If you want to get rid of clogged pores, a water-soluble product is of no worth. You need an oil-soluble ingredient that makes it capable of cutting through oil and exfoliating deep within your pores to remove blockages. In this scenario, salicylic acid skin care products work the best.
Let’s be honest, we all look for a singular product that can reap multiple benefits rather than targeting a special problem.
Benefits Of Salicylic Acid Skincare Products
Owing to its composition and properties, salicylic acid has a myriad of benefits. We all have come across products like toners, serums, face washes, and many more that have infused salicylic acid as their primary ingredient. Salicylic acid skin care products target a group of people suffering from various skin issues. Here’s a list of benefits of salicylic acid that you didn’t know about.
1. Exfoliates Skin Easily
Salicylic acid is a compound that breaks down the outer layer of the skin, helps it to bind moisture and can decrease the thickness of dehydrated skin. So skincare products containing salicylic acid can improve the tone and texture of your skin, leaving it bright and hydrated.
2. Cleans Oil from Pores
If you are struggling with acne and feel it is causing several other skin problems, you may be right. Applying tea tree & salicylic acid face wash may be the best treatment for you. The main feature of salicylic acid is that it is oil-soluble. Unlike other products that only skim through the surface of your skin, salicylic acid cuts deep into the different layers of your skin. Due to this, salicylic acid provides deep cleaning and suppresses skin cells from forming excess oil.
3. Prevents Acne Build-up
Salicylic acid can significantly prevent blackhead and whitehead formations too. Constant use of salicylic acid face serums and cleansers will keep your pores clean and prevent excess oil formation.
4. Reduces Inflammation
Just like aspirin, salicin has anti-inflammatory properties. To improve skin health, salicylic acid can reduce redness, puffiness, and soreness and calms irritated and dry skin.

How To Use Salicylic Acid In Your Skincare Regime?
The concentration of salicylic acid in skin care products varies from person to person. But the application of face serums, cleansers, toners, etc., containing salicylic acid is common to all. Here are a few pointers to remember while applying salicylic acid skin care products.
1. Work up to it
Start by applying a small amount of salicylic acid skin care products to test whether there is any irritation or side effects. Once you’ve tested the product, use it daily as per the dermatologist’s instructions.
2. Apply evenly on your entire face
Always apply salicylic acid skin care products evenly on your skin and keep in mind to cover your entire face. This way, every portion of your skin will reap the maximum benefits of salicylic acid.
3. Don’t scrub your Face
Salicylic Acid is a chemical exfoliant that can naturally remove the dead cells of your skin without you having to scrub it. So remember, let the product seep in and do its magic.
4. Less is always better
Use a small amount of salicylic acid skin care products. Excess salicylic acid can irritate your skin.
