How exactly should salicylic acid be used? I feel I’m using mine the wrong way
If you’re using a cleanser with salicylic acid, you should use a good moisturizer, maybe with ceramides. You could also try using a gentler face wash without salicylic acid, but i doubt using a dash wash with salicylic acid along with the cleanser is enough to trouble your skin, unless it’s also very stripping.
Salicylic acid is safe in skincare especially for those with oily skin but a lower percentage is always advisable to start especially if you have sensitive skin and your using it for the first time so that your skin can get used to it then you can take it up from there it is always advisable to patch test first incase of any reaction. When you combine salicylic with a moisturizer, you’re essentially chemically exfoliating your skin while also giving it the hydration it needs.
