Regular use of salicylic acid can contribute to a more even skin tone by reducing hyperpigmentation and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation left behind by acne.

Q2. Can I use salicylic acid serum every day?
Start by applying salicylic acid serum on alternate days for 2 weeks. Then, you can use ThriveCo 2% Salicylic Acid Serum daily during your PM skincare routine. However, it is recommended to do a patch test before you apply it to your face. Pay close attention to how your skin responds. If you notice any signs of irritation, such as redness, dryness, or peeling, consider reducing the frequency or taking a break. Gradually increase the usage if your skin tolerates it well. Many people find that incorporating salicylic acid into their daily routine helps maintain clear skin and prevent breakouts.

Q3. What to apply after salicylic acid?
A soothing moisturizer is recommended to apply after salicylic acid face serum. This helps in preventing any potential dryness or irritation that may be associated with the use of salicylic acid. Additionally, applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen is crucial, especially if you're using salicylic acid serum in the morning, as it can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight. Sunscreen protects the skin from harmful UV rays and helps prevent further irritation.
