It can be used. Salicylic acid is fat-soluble and can easily break down excess sebum on the skin surface. It cleans the skin's pores by fusing with lipids and can help exfoliate the skin. As a vitamin, niacinamide can promote the shedding of melanin keratinocytes. Niacinamide stock solution can disrupt the connection between keratinocytes and melanin, accelerate the metabolism of melanin, thereby better curbing the formation of melanin and having the effect of whitening the skin.

The effects and hazards of salicylic acid mask

The function of salicylic acid mask is to promote the exfoliation of the skin's stratum corneum, thereby fading acne marks and brightening the skin tone. Excessive use of salicylic acid masks will remove the stratum corneum and reduce the skin's defense capabilities, causing skin damage. Long-term excessive use will bring two harms. First, the stratum corneum will become thinner and the skin's resistance will be weakened; second, the skin will become sensitive. Salicylic acid has a strong effect on the vitreous stratum corneum. If it is always used excessively, such as multiple times a day, it will cause certain harm to the skin. This situation needs to be avoided.

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

After using salicylic acid for 2 months, the oil-soluble properties of salicylic acid can penetrate deep into the pores where sebum secretion is vigorous and into the stratum corneum with more fat, and fully remove the excessive keratinization of the stratum corneum and clear the blackheads in the pores. The effect will be seen after 1-2 months of use. 2% salicylic acid, with highly penetrating liquid texture, penetrates deep into hair follicles to dissolve dead skin cells, unclog pores, improve enlarged pores, and disintegrate blackheads and acne to the greatest extent.
