Salicylic Acid facwash making my acne worse
Hi everyone,
I am a teen and have sensitive, combination, and acne-prone skin. My current routine includes Johnson’s body lotion and Lakme sunscreen. For the past four months, I’ve been using a salicylic acid face wash, but it seems to be making my acne worse instead of better. My acne scars aren’t fading either.
Before this, I used Johnson’s face wash and my skin was a bit calmer.
Has anyone experienced this? What would you suggest I do to help reduce acne and scarring without irritating my sensitive skin?
Thanks in advance!
