Touted as a go-to remedy for acne-prone skin, salicylic acid is known to slough dead cells off the surface of your skin, and deep-cleanse your pores to mitigate the incessant occurrence of breakouts. Ideal for skin that's oily, the BHA (beta-hydroxy acid) banishes blackheads and whiteheads, reduces the production of excess oil, weakens acne-causing bacteria, and soothes inflammation. But it can be a little too harsh on your skin. So, what's a girl to do? It's simple, switch to milder alternatives that offer similar benefits. Ahead, we've listed down some milder alternatives to salicylic acid.
