Is it okay to use salicylic acid every day?

While it is okay to use salicylic acid every day, it could cause irritation. Many dermatologists, therefore, recommend using the acid in moderation, beginning by applying it three times a week and working up from there.

Can salicylic acid dry the skin out?

Yes, which is why it's best to start in moderation and combine it with a more moisturizing product, like a lotion.

Can too much salicylic acid be a problem?

If you have a persistent breakout that doesn't clear up even when using salicylic acid, it's possible the ingredient could be contributing to the problem. Talk to a dermatologist if the problem persists.
