Everyone knows that salicylic acid can be used to remove acne, but it is not effective for all acne. When using salicylic acid to remove acne, you must also distinguish what type of acne it is. If the acne is severe, you still need to go to the hospital's dermatology department for a check-up.

High-concentration salicylic acid is not suitable for face application. Some people will get acne after using salicylic acid.

The lower the concentration, the smaller the effect. Salicylic acid is a fat-soluble product. It has certain effects of exfoliating, unclogging pores, and inhibiting bacteria and inflammation. It must be used in conjunction with drugs and anti-inflammatory skin care products to treat acne.

To remove acne with salicylic acid, you must first distinguish whether the acne is mild or severe. For mild to moderate acne, you can choose salicylic acid. Salicylic acid can directly reach the source of acne, inhibit the growth of acne, improve acne skin, repair acne scars, deeply cleanse the skin, and remove excess oil and waste. For severe acne, no matter how high the concentration of salicylic acid is, the effect is limited.
