How to Use Salicylic Acid

Salicylic Acid can be found in cleansers, toners, serums, and spot treatments. Start gradually, especially if you're new to exfoliating acids, and follow the product's instructions.

If you're using a leave-on formula, apply it after cleansing and follow with moisturizer. Daily sunscreen is also important.

Mimii Note ♡

More salicylic acid doesn't mean clearer skin. If you overdo it, you can end up with dry, irritated skin instead of happier pores. Start slowly and let your skin adjust.
