I’m convinced salicylic acid is a scam.

Why does everyone with acne have to go through months of subjecting their skin to dry, flaky, burning salicylic acid torture… just to find out so many other skincare ingredients work better?

Don’t get me wrong I know it works for many people, but I personally believe it’s one of the most overrated ingredients around.

It’s not just my opinion either, I surveyed over 6,000 followers with hormonal acne and it was voted the least effective out of all of the active ingredients mentioned. I am so glad retinoids are coming to the forefront now - and yes, you guessed it, the active voted most effective was a retinoid. The full survey results are coming in the next couple weeks, so follow along if you want to know what the people voted most and least effective product-wise.
