What is Salicylic Acid Cream used for?
Salicylic acid cream is a versatile treatment primarily used for managing acne, while also offering benefits for those with psoriasis and warts. Its efficacy stems from its ability to exfoliate the skin by loosening connections between dead skin cells, promoting efficient shedding of the outer skin layer, unclogging pores, and reducing inflammation. Specifically relevant for acne, salicylic acid penetrates the oil glands to exfoliate and clear debris from pores, preventing and addressing breakouts, reducing inflammation, fading scars, and minimizing pore size. Beyond treating acne, salicylic acid’s exfoliating and anti-inflammatory properties also make it effective in improving skin texture and soothing the redness and irritation linked to various skin issues. Applied topically as directed, salicylic acid cream can significantly enhance skin health and appearance.

How to Use
Massage a pea-sized amount of this Salicylic Acid Cream into clean skin at night. Start by using the product 2-3 times per week. Slowly build up use to as much as your skin can tolerate. Continue use after your acne has subsided to keep it from returning.
