Reviews
Ksenia
I recommend it if you have problem skin. I take it, moisten the cotton wool and rub it over the places on the skin where there are pockets of inflammation. Salicylic acid costs a penny, it helps many people, there are much fewer pimples.
Novel
I have had acne since I was 14 years old. Self-esteem was at zero. I tried many products, both clay and ointments. One good friend suggested salicylic acid (a recipe with it). I applied the solution every morning and evening. At first it stung and the skin peeled off. Then I realized that I should only apply it to acne, and not all over my face. Then the side effects went away! After a month I conquered the problem. Maybe my method will help someone.
Olesya
My boyfriend, he is 30 years old, has a porous face, there are acne on his face, but not very much, and he has terrible acne on his back. In daylight they seem so huge. I advised him to use salicylic ointment. It helped a lot on my back, but on my face (he has oily skin) it took a long time to go away, then there were spots that disappeared after 2 weeks. The pores have become much smaller. True, he was not willing to use it, but then he appreciated the results.
Marina
I read a recipe for acne on the Internet: salicylic acid (I took 1% 40 ml), 2 tablets of chloramphenicol. Mix everything and apply to the skin where the pimples are. I'll try it, I hope it helps.
Lena
I agree with the previous speaker. I have been using this solution for five days following a recipe on the internet. I don't recognize my face! Pimples dry out and gradually disappear. The blackheads have also decreased, the complexion has become even, and the pores are less noticeable compared to what they were. I just cleanse my entire face with lotion and then apply moisturizer. I'm happy with the result and recommend it to anyone who has encountered the same problem.
