What is Salicylic Acid?
What can you mix with salicylic acid?
Can you mix salicylic acid and vitamin C?
Absolutely, if anything I strongly suggest moisturising after using salicylic acid. Not only will this soothe and calm the skin after applying the potent BHA to your skin. You will also find that moisturisers not only help balance the skin and keep it hydrated, it will also physically form a protective layer on top of the face to keep as many skin damaging free radicals at bay whilst helping any ingredients work their magic underneath.
Can I use multiple products with salicylic acid?
As already mentioned, salicylic acid is one of the most potent skincare ingredients. By using multiple products containing the BHA is in short, a bad idea. This is not because the ingredient is wrong for your skin type, but the fact that the molecule size is small resulting in the acid penetrating the furthest out of all acids combined with the exfoliating properties it will be too much for the skin. By using salicylic acid in multiple products you will find your skin will start feeling irritated, dry with possible flare-ups in redness and sensitivity.
