Does Paula's Choice salicylic acid need to be washed off?

There is no need to wash off after using Paula's salicylic acid. Because Paula's salicylic acid is a facial essence, you only need to clean your facial skin before use. When you first start using Paula's salicylic acid, it is recommended to apply a small amount on your face with a cotton pad. Using it once a night will improve dry skin, acne, etc. If you have sensitive skin, use it once every one or two days.

How to use Paula's Choice Salicylic Acid

1. After cleansing and applying toner at night, count down a few drops of essence in the palm of your hand according to the condition of your face (usually 4-5 drops).

2. Then use the ring finger of your other hand to apply it on closed comedones or acne.

3. Then, massage thoroughly to allow the essence to be better absorbed.

4. After it is completely absorbed, apply a soothing and moisturizing facial cream. About 60% of the closed comedones will shrink within a week.

Can Paula's Choice salicylic acid be used every day?

Not necessarily, it depends on your individual skin tolerance. If it is your first time using a salicylic acid product, it is best to start with 2 or 3 times a week, and then use it every day after making sure your skin can tolerate it, because salicylic acid is somewhat irritating and some skin types are intolerant to it; it is recommended to use Paula's Choice Salicylic Acid Serum only at night. If you want to use it during the day, please apply sunscreen with SPF15 or above, because after salicylic acid removes dead skin cells, the new cells produced are easily sunburned by ultraviolet rays.
