How many times a week should I use salicylic acid pads?

The frequency of using salicylic acid cotton pads should not be too high. Because salicylic acid cotton pads contain salicylic acid, they are essentially acid exfoliators.

Therefore, it is recommended that you reduce the frequency of use.

First, you need to clean your face, then use a salicylic acid cotton pad to gently wipe the areas where the facial stratum corneum is thicker. After about a minute, you can resume normal skin care.

When using salicylic acid cotton pads, you must first understand your skin type. Generally, there are dry, oily, and combination skin. If you have oily skin and stubborn acne on your face, you can improve it by using salicylic acid cotton pads. Using salicylic acid cotton pads can effectively improve the accumulated stratum corneum on the face. Pay attention to daily cleaning and skin care to avoid the recurrence of acne.

If so, stop using it immediately to avoid damage to the skin.

Salicylic acid cotton pads are mainly used for wiping and can be used for secondary cleaning. If the acne and blackheads are severe, you can apply a local wet compress for 2-3 minutes. Be sure to pay attention to moisturizing after wet compress. There is no need to wash after wiping with salicylic acid cotton pads. Wait until the skin is completely dry and then proceed with the skin care process.
