What Is Salicylic Acid?
Dr. Nehal Sharma· 24 July 2026
What is Salicylic Acid?
Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that is oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate deep into pores to dissolve excess sebum and dead skin cells.
Who is it for?
Ideal for oily and combination skin prone to congestion. It gently exfoliates without irritation when used correctly.
How to use
Start with a 2% concentration, 2–3 times a week. Always follow with sunscreen, as exfoliation can increase sun sensitivity.
