Of course, salicylic acid is famed for its spot-fighting powers, but a good product will actually do much more than shrink down an angry pimple, as Dr. Gross explains. “A keratolytic agent, salicylic acid reduces the pH of skin and increases hydration as well as encouraging the process of desquamation (the shedding of dead skin cells). It can also directly dissolve keratin plugs (known as keratosis pilaris) and regulate skin cells to fight acne and blemishes." What are the differences between AHAs and BHA? Salicylic acid is a mouthful, so it’s often referred to as a BHA. It’s also a keratolytic agent, Dr. Farnsworth says.

How to Use a Salicylic Acid Spray?

There’s a learning curve to using salicylic acid, but it’s simple once you learn a few ground rules. Both AHAs and BHAs gently exfoliate the skin through a chemical process, but they work a little differently. AHAs are water soluble and work on the surface to remove dead skin cells, thereby improving the signs of aging. BHAs are oil-soluble, so they’re able to travel deeper to unclog pores, which is why they make for better acne treatments, notes Dr. Jeffy. Dr. Chang strongly advocates for sun protection after using any exfoliant, not just salicylic acid. "While salicylic acid may not directly increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun, it's always important to protect your freshly exfoliated skin from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation," she tells us.

In OTC products, you can expect to find salicylic acid at concentrations between 0.5% and 2%. It can be even higher in prescription-strength products and professional treatments like chemical peels.

Retinol helps get rid of congestion in the skin, so it can be used to treat acne while also targeting the signs of aging. Just be sure to introduce this product into your routine slowly since retinol can increase irritation or cause skin purging. You’ll also want to be extra diligent about wearing sunscreen daily when using retinol, AHAs, or BHAs because they can increase photosensitivity. This is because it is a gentle exfoliant that works on all skin types. Salicylic acid can also be used to treat acne, eczema, and psoriasis.
