Salicylic Acid as an Acne Treatment? Posted: 08-10-08 11:50am
I've been suffering for well over a decade
with mild acne and was wondering about a
couple of products. I don't want to use
ProActiv/benzoyl peroxide because I have
dry skin that can get quite sensitive.
I've read a lot about salicylic acid, in
particular SensiClear that uses S.A. and
something called Retextra,
Does anyone use this? I like the sound of
it - from what it says it looks just what
I need (mild) and cleanses as well as
treats the acne. I need both because I
wear makeup all the time. Wondered what
anyone else's thoughts were?

I believe salicylic acid can also cause
dryness, especially at the beginning of
treatment. Did you give it a try and was
it effective for your acne?
