salicylic acid face wash use - #27692

Khushi

I am struggling with my acne and I heard that salicylic acid face wash use can really help but I'm unsure about a couple of things. Last month, I went to the dermatologist and she mentioned it, saying it could be a game changer for my skin. I started using one that has 2% salicylic acid, but now I’m worried. I wash my face twice a day, but sometimes it feels too dry and I think I might be using it wrong or maybe too often? I saw online that salicylic acid face wash use should be balanced with a good moisturizer, right? The dryness freaks me out because I don’t want my skin to get worse or irritate it. However, on the times I don't use it, I notice more breakouts! Like, seriously, why is this happening? Is there a certain amount of time I should leave it on or rinse it off quickly? Also, should I be using something else along with it, like a toner or serum, especially on days when it feels dry? It’s just so confusing 'cause I want to clear up my skin, but I feel like I'm walking on eggshells with the salicylic acid face wash use. Help!
