Hormonal breakouts are such a pain, especially when combined with oily skin. I’ve been exploring different products for my acne and keep hearing that salicylic acid could be a good option. I’m really wondering—does it actually help with those pesky breakouts that pop up right before my period?
I’ve been using a low-concentration salicylic acid cleanser, but I still get those annoying pimples, particularly around my chin and jawline. My skin can be sensitive, so I’m hesitant to try stronger treatments. For those of you who have used salicylic acid for hormonal acne, what has your experience been like? Did you see a change in how often or severely you break out? Also, how do you fit it into your routine with other products like benzoyl peroxide and moisturizers?
