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.

When the skin has wounds or the skin is sensitive, you can use a small amount at first to allow the skin to adapt to the salicylic acid ingredient before increasing the dosage.

2. Secondly, it cannot be used with products containing retinol, fruit acid, A acid and other ingredients, because these ingredients are all exfoliating. If used together, it will cause excessive exfoliation. Generally, only one of them is sufficient, so do not use other exfoliating products after using salicylic acid.

For example, if the face is sunburned, stinging, or peeling, skin care products with acid ingredients are not suitable for use, as it will aggravate these symptoms.
