Salicylic acid serum clears clogged pores and helps reduce acne, blackheads, and uneven texture. Use it on a clean, dry face after cleansing and toning, then follow with moisturizer and sunscreen. Start on alternate nights and move to daily use if skin tolerates it. Always patch-test before first use.
Wash with a mild, pH-balanced cleanser to remove oil and dirt. Avoid scrubbing or using harsh exfoliants just before applying actives. A neem or tulsi-based cleanser suits acne-prone skin.
Choose an alcohol-free toner with ingredients like niacinamide or green tea to calm skin and help serum absorb evenly.
Dispense 2-3 drops onto fingertips and pat on the forehead, nose, chin, and breakout-prone areas. Let it absorb for about a minute. Avoid rubbing to prevent irritation.
Use a non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep hydration and protect the skin barrier. This step reduces dryness or flaking from exfoliating acids.
Acids increase sun sensitivity. In the morning, finish with a broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen to prevent pigmentation and irritation.
Pair salicylic acid with gentle, vegan skincare that complements its exfoliating action. Skip high-strength retinol or other peeling acids in the same routine. Use hydrating or brightening serums on alternate days for balance.
