In this riveting episode of The Budget Dermatologist, Dr. Marin Lock dives headfirst into the age-old dilemma: glycolic acid versus salicylic acid in your skincare routine. It's a showdown between the water-soluble AHA and the oil-soluble BHA, each with its own battleground on your skin. Glycolic acid, the AHA champion, reigns supreme on the skin's surface, tackling rough textures and dullness with finesse. Meanwhile, salicylic acid, the BHA underdog, delves deep into pores, combating bumpy textures and enlarged pores like a fearless warrior.
The good doctor breaks it down for us simpletons - if your skin is crying out for a glow-up, glycolic acid is your trusty sidekick. But if you're battling with pesky clogged pores and acne, salicylic acid swoops in to save the day. Incorporating these powerhouse acids into your morning routine is a game-changer, whether through cleansers or leave-on products. Just remember, always have your trusty sunscreen by your side when playing with these potent acids to shield your skin from the fiery wrath of the sun.
Dr. Lock's arsenal doesn't stop there - introducing gentle alternatives like mandelic acid and lactic acid for those with sensitive skin, ensuring everyone can join the skincare revolution. But beware, mixing these acids with retinoids is a recipe for disaster, so proceed with caution. Embracing topical acids in your anti-aging regimen is the secret weapon to combatting dullness and reviving your skin's youthful glow. Join the discussion, share your skincare tales, and fire away your burning questions to Dr. Lock on Instagram at the budget dermatologist.
