SALICYLIC ACID VS GLYCOLIC ACID. Dermatologist @DrDrayzday on the difference between salicylic acid and glycolic acid. Is salicylic acid or glycolic acid better for wrinkles, keratosis pilaris, age spots, acne, and acne marks? Which exfoliating face serum should you use for darks spots and ingrown hairs?

Dr. Dray, I've been using that Salicylic Body Spray from Differin that you recommended a while back. It has a little Glycolic acid in it as well. I haven't had acne on my body in over 6 months now!

I really appreciate your detailed explanation of the differences between these. I have sensitive, acne prone skin and have not been able to tolerate either of these. However, I recently started using a lower strength salicylic acid toner every other night and so far I'm doing well with that. Happy Thursday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a relaxing evening. 💞

I have used salysilic acid 2% since high school (I'm now 59) and still use it. My skin loves it and responds so well without any irritation. I do have some hyperpigmentation (no sunscreen in my 20's & 30's) and will try incorporating glycolic acid as well. I just started using vitamin C under my sunscreen in the a.m. Thank you for all you do to educate us. I have learned so much and use many of your recommended products! ❤

I love using The Ordinary 5% Lactic Acid under the eyes. I only do this, maximum once per week at night because I know it can cause irritation if used too often. I have sensitive skin and I haven't had any issues using it under the eyes. It really makes a difference in the texture and smoothness of the under eye area. I really notice a difference when I apply makeup and eye creams. I also use Lactic Acid on my face and neck and have had great results! Sometimes I will alternate the 5% and 10% for my face, but I ONLY use the 5% under my eyes. I also like Glycolic Acid, but it really can cause irritation for me, so I tend to stick with the Lactic Acid. P.S. I tried the Biossance Lactic Acid serum, and I couldn't keep it on more than 5 minutes due to the burning (fragrance). I've never had irritation with The Ordinary Lactic Acid leaving it on overnight. It's an excellent product!! Highly recommend!

I haven't used glycolic acid but i did used CeraVe blemish control cleanser with 2% salicylic acid and i realized is man that thing really smoothes out the skin pretty well to a wow extent 😊❤. Now i totally agree with you Doctor Andrea we all should read the product's instructions in order to get the results we want from these products and of course addressing these acids to the particular skin issues that these are for ok 😅 and not other issues irrelevant to what these products can do and have nothing to do with their properties. Does anyone's eyes twitch when you see or hear about someone using glycolic acid as a deodorant ?😅. Thanks Doctor it was an excellent,beautiful and informative video 😊❤ Have beautiful morning ✌🙏😀.

Glycolic acid can be a little harsh on my skin but at the same time I find it to be very effective. I use it about once a week when I feel my skin getting to be a little textured or congested, and the next day, it feels smooth and baby soft again.

I use a few other things, but I attribute how my skin looks to those two products. I’ve never had great skin and now I do, it’s crazy! Great video Dr Dray!! And yes I had to work up to using both products over about 6-9 mos.

If i buy SA cleanser and cant apply it around my eye areas, that means i have to buy another gentle cleaner as well that may be a bit over the budget. Btw, Dr Dray, the sound quality of your recent videos has been improved a lot ever since u started using this lovely mic.

As someone who suffers with an oily scalp and dry hair, it's been really helpful to repurpose my salicylic acid body spray for use on my scalp as a leave-on. It really helps to cut down on the oil and helps me go longer between washes.

I use a salicylic cleanser followed by a glycolic acid toner and then I use a gentle cleanser with a retinol serum at night and my skin has been looking great. I’m at the tail end of the purge, but the mix I use makes the acne, and only the acne, dry out so when I wash my face the white heads just fall out. But the rest of my skin is hydrated from all the other stuff I use. I like using them together, and I just make sure I use spf, even if I’m just sitting inside at home all day.

15:35 - That is interesting. I haven't really thought about that, with BHA and AHA maybe clashing or just not being as effective as a product formulated with both ingredients in one. Then I'd still have the individual ingredients if I want to use salicylic twice a day, or get a more serious dose of glycolic. Could also just have BHA in the morning and AHA at night, but I'm currently trying to keep the morning routine super simple.
