Hello, I am a 22years, old female. I have been dealing with acne since a teenager. I have bumps on my forehead. I did some research and I found out that salicylic acid helps in forehead bumps. Should I give it a try? Will salicylic acid reduce the bumps on my forehead? How does it help in clearing acne?

@rihaya Hello, salicylic acid works for acne. It unclogs the pores by breaking the bond between dead skin cells so that they can release from the pore more easily, and breaking down oils, such as sebum. Salicylic acid also decreases the skin’s sebum production, leading to fewer breakouts. Salicylic acid may cause some side effects. These may vary depending on a person’s skin type or the form or concentration of SA they are using. Do a patch test before applying it and consult your dermatologist.
