It seems to be OK and not aggravate my face. I only need to use a tiny, tiny bit of it, it spreads very well. Neutogena also makes a face wash with Salicylic Acid, I think they label it as an acne face wash. --Torre I use this as well. It seems to be OK and not aggravate my face. I

Like Laurie mentioned it would peel parts of skin that wouldn't have otherwise and left my skin more red. I'd recommend you try a facewash that contains salicylic acid like Johnson & Johnson's Clean & Clear Deep Cleansing Cream Wash. It's mild but does a good job of clearing the flakes. Another one to try is the new Neutrogena Visibly Clear Blackhead Eliminating Daily Scrub. It contains micro-beads (which will help with the flakes aswell) and although it's otherwise quite mild it does scratch a little so might be a bit harsh for some people. The salicylic acid content in these types of facewashes tends to be <!--more--> very low but still enough to do the job. Richard My dermatologist gave me a 1% salicylic cream to use (I asked to try

And 2) You mentioned eating better. I was curious if you were following a specific diet, or avoiding certain foods, etc. Thanks! Two questions, if I may, Roxana. 1) What brand of lotion are you using
