I Don't Have Acne. Should I Still Use Salicylic Acid?
I Don't Have Acne. Should I Still Use Salicylic Acid? In a word, yes. It not only offers a whole slew of therapeutic benefits for treating skin conditions like warts and psoriasis, but it also helps with more superficial concerns, namely, signs of aging. Salicylic acid's ability to exfoliate makes it great for addressing complexion imperfections like discoloration and fine lines. "By promoting cell turnover, it leaves skin looking fresher and more radiant," Zeichner says. Yes, please.
