If you want to know more about salicylic acid acne treatments and if it is effective against acne or not then this article is just for you.

Here is why:

I've done my research and tested ingredient on myself. So in this article, I will reveal what it does and if you should use it or not.

Here's how it can help you treat acne:

• Slough off dead skin cells.
  


• Treat oily skin.
  


• Prevent lesions.
  


• Prevents dark spots on skin by treating post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
  


• Clears pores so your skin can start replacing new skin-cells again.
  

Where can you get salicylic acid acne treatments?

This ingredient can be found in local stores within most (if not all) acne treatment products such as cleansers, creams, and lotions contain.

Are there any side effects of salicylic acid?

The only side effect I have noticed was mild dryness after use. So if you're going to use salicylic acid to treat your acne, you might want to apply a moisturizer after use to avoid dry skin.

How effective is it in treating acne?

I have to say that on some weeks it seems to work and on other weeks seems like it doesn't work at all. So it's not that effective (to me at least).

But one of the main reasons it's not as effective is because it does not kill acne causing bacteria. And just like every other topical acne treatments, salicylic acid must be used on a consistent basis.

The most effective acne treatment I have found is the one that treats acne at the root of the problem.
