Can I use a cream with salicylic acid in the morning and a cleanser with salicylic acid at night? Would it be too much for my skin? I'm really curious if combining them might irritate my skin or if it's safe to do both. What do you think?

it would cause mild burns or rashes so try to include it slowly to your skincare starting with facewash

Safety Considerations:
- Using both a cream and a cleanser with 6% salicylic acid can irritate your skin, especially if it's sensitive or dry.
-
Potential Skin Reactions:
- Look out for signs like dryness, redness, or peeling.
-
Recommendations: a. Start Slowly: Introduce one product at a time to monitor your skin's response. b. Moisturize: Use a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to minimize irritation. c. Sun Protection: Apply sunscreen daily as salicylic acid increases sun sensitivity.
-
Consultation:
- If irritation persists, consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice.
