Salicylic Acid has always been so good to me. As an oily girl, SA has really been vital to manage my acne and prevent post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It's honestly my go to for almost instant results. Within days of using it, my acne lesions are less noticeable and my skin texture significantly improves. I can always rely on it.

I'm surprised no one ever mentions the cerave Psoriasis wash! It has 2% salicylic acid, lactic acid, glycolic acid and urea. Its super strong but its the best thing I've ever used for my seborrheic dermatitis and keratosis pilaris!

Good morning Dr Dray! I’ve been watching your videos for the last 2 years after dealing with severe PCOS acne for most of my life. Today I’ll be graduating from my MBA program with clear, glowing skin thanks to your help. Appreciate all your hard work!

*56yrs. old, SA cleanser 2x/day* . I've been using the Cerave SA Cleanser for two years. I was getting black and white heads on my cheeks and this product totally solved the issue within a few weeks. Consistent use has dramatically improved my overall texture and I have experienced zero irritation. It's a Holy Grail product for me.

I tested besan flour as facewash, but it rather lead to skin rash. As a result, later, I switched to littleextraa riceberry face wash, and trust me, my skin has greatly benefitted from this and got better than how it was... pimple and spots reduced, blemishes faded, pore size reduced a lot, and skin has become more glowing and smoother, and I am getting compliments from friends these days.

Can you do video on pH dependance of BHA’S & AHA’S effectiveness. How this impacted by other creams, other buffers on face. They are weak acids after all, so I assume they are typically a salt when applied. I could be wrong.

I have acne, but my skin is also quite prone to dehydration, and I really second your suggestion of not using too much! Not only does it make sure it gets completely rinsed off, but it also makes the cleanse itself more gentle. Many SA cleansers are formulated to be a bit stronger in terms of cleansing properties, and if you find that it leaves you feeling a dry, using less can make a big difference! There's less surfactent going on your face, which makes the cleanse more mild. The cleansers with pumps can mislead us to believe that one full pump is necessary/okay, when in reality, less than half a pump would be adequate to clean most people's faces, and a full pump can leave a lot of people feeling dry.

I discovered this initially by just trying to save money — I wanted to reduce how much product I was using as much as possible, so I started experimenting with the quantity of cleanser used. With most foaming cleansers, I learned that a pea sized amount can be sufficient to not only adequately cleanse my face but also to minimise the dehydrating effects of cleansing. I apply this rule to all cleansers I've used, regardless of the active ingredients, and I've been consistently shown that I can get away with using less than I initially expected. Cream/non-foaming cleansers are a bit different, though, because they have somewhat less spreadability due to the lack of lather and are usually very mild already.

This habit has also reduced the frequency with which I buy cleansers. These days, I opt for ones with a shelf life of 6-12 months because I take a good while to finish even 200ml cleansers.

My dermatologist has me use Cerave SA wash in the morning 2-3 times a week and leave it on for 3 minutes. It works for my blackheads and smooths the way for my actives I use daily. It has helped with my hyperpigmentation as well.

I love the Stubborn Texture cleanser by Neutrogena. At 56, my skin is post-menopausal, it's drier and more sensitive, yet I still get acne. (fun).... this really helped improve the acne without causing irritation, it truly was a lifesaver! Thanks for the great video Dr. Dray!

[debrakirkley]

Dr. Dray is a Jedi Dermatologist. She keeps all of her Videos current and really describes how everything works. She's amazing.
Thanks, love ❤

I use the Cerave SA cleansing bar you once suggested not only for my face but also on my underarms as I get them waxed and on my bum for bum acne. Works wonderfully on those areas 😊

[wardasunshine]

I have been using CERAVE SA CLENSER for two years and i literally swear by it, I had the worst acne in my life and it helped my skin like magic

[saphire]

I actually use the Neutrogena sal shampoo once in a while because I get a lot of buildup on my scalp, not from products, but just general dead skin. One time I decided to lather my face along with my hair, and I discovered that maybe it’s the 3% salicylic acid, but it really seemed to make my face feel smooth after the shower that time. So I periodically when I do use that shampoo, I will use it on my face as well. It does not dry me out or irritate me.

I recently got a free sample of the Cerave Blemish Control Cleanser and also the Blemish Control Gel. I am a HUGE fan of both of them! They contain ceramides and niacinamide in addition to SA so I don't find it irritating in the slightest, and I find it to be quite effective! Would absolutely purchase it with my own money - each product is around $20 AUD.

A great salicylic acid facial cleanser that I've been loving lately is the Eclat Salicylic Acid Cleanser. I ordered it from Amazon for $6, so it's very affordable, and, again, amazing. I find it be incredibly gentle and non drying. My skin actually feels quite smooth and moisturized after using it. It's formulated with aloe vera, tea tree oil, licorice root extract and green tea extract. I find it be a great cleanser for my mature skin.

Hi Dr Dray. I’m going into the archives of some of your previous videos, and am so grateful (again) for the time you take to educate your followers. I feel much more prepared to purchase products that I think will work for my skin issues. I should share that I have a board certified derm that I see every six months for skin cancer checks. Thank you for your encyclopedic ability to describe and de-mystify various subjects and products. 🙏🏻

Cerave SA changed my life. I have seen drastically how my skin improved. I had problems with sebum, white heads, and black heads, and my skin texture was terrible, after using it for how many years, of course alongside with my other skin care, my face has improved soooo much.

[pmfg]

❤Dr Dray, I can’t thank you enough for recommending the renewing salicylic acid Cleanser. I am in my 50s and have used it for over a year and it has a very anti inflammatory effect on my face and neck. I am a farmer in the SE and the sun is super strong here.

[samanthamorales-carroll]

I have Cetaphil body wash with salicylic acid 3%. I use it for my arms and back. I also use the Cetaphil acne face wash. It's nice

[jess-dbxh]

I started using the up&up salicylic acid face wash a while ago and my skin already feels a lot smoother. I use to get two to three pimples a day when I was a teenager and it has lessened up since I turned 20 but I still get acne very often. Since I started using the face wash, I don’t get huge breakouts anymore and they aren’t as common. I’m definitely seeing an improvement in my acne. The only problem is I have dry skin so it can be a bit drying, which is why I pair it with the Eyude House hydro barrier cream. Thank you for the recommendation!
