Read the threads ↓Pros
- The original OG 2% salicylic acid liquid exfoliant that many credit for clearing clogged pores and blackheads
- Effectively reduces sebaceous filaments, shrinks pores, and smooths chin/T-zone texture with consistent use
- Can be integrated into routines with tretinoin or azelaic acid when used 2-3 times weekly, improving overall skin clarity
Cons
- Frequent or daily use often leads to moisture barrier breakdown, redness, and irritation especially on sensitive or dry skin
- Combining with other strong actives or retinoids without time spacing can cause worsening breakouts or worsening texture
- Some users report no improvement or worsening of acne and clogged pores, highlighting YMMV and the need for gradual introduction
