Just about anyone looking to make their complexion look smoother and more radiant can benefit from incorporating salicylic acid into their beauty routine. It is perfect for anyone with oily and acne-prone skin as it helps clear up blackheads and whiteheads and also helps to smooth out any facial bumps. Most products only contain 0.5 to 2 percent of salicylic acid.
Salicylic acid body lotions are designed to help smooth and soften rough areas of the skin, such as legs, elbows, and knees. It’s also helpful for bumpy skin on the body, but it’s essential not to use a body lotion containing salicylic acid on the face, and vice versa, as facial skin is much thinner than the skin around the elbows and knees.
