I've been using face wash for normal skin and i've noticed it cleared the blackheads on my nose quite well, but i was wondering if i should use one for oilier skin with salicylic acid? i'm thinking it'll work even better in prevention/treatment of blackheads pimples etc. or will it frick up my skin and i should just stick to the the one i'm using currently?
@sandkwinn pls ping the biofoids, i need your advice but i'm too
too pay for ping groups

You can stick with the face wash you have now if you like it and add a separate BHA for complexion and are able to ease your skin into it. You can switch to a AHA for gentler exfoliating (or you can start of with one if you are merely trying to be proactive)

sorry, what are these? i'm not a foid and i just started doing a face routine with exfoliation/face wash/moisturizer recently, so i'm not too knowledgable on this stuff

alpha/beta hydroxy acid. They're chemical exfoliants unlike scrubs which are physical exfoliants. AHAs are usually considered gentler and BHAs go deeper and are recommended for acne. Salicylic acid is a BHA.

I'm not in biofoids, you should know this
what's your skin like tho? make sure you use sunscreen and moisturizer, those are the most important parts as well as cleansing, drinking enough water/eating well, and washing your pillowcase regularly. if you already do all that stuff then I use hyaluronic acid after exfoliating with lactic acid (not everyday) and also in my regular moisturizer
make sure whenever you wash/apply products that you're being thorough but gentle, if you scrub too hard you'll just cause irritation. same with picking at your face in general
maybe you could get a facial :marseyfacial: once if you can afford it, and the esthetician can give you more specific advice for your skin

i started throwing my pillowcases in with pretty much every load of laundry i do and the difference is more that any moisturizer could ever do this is sound advice

I've been using a plain bar of soap and I've had positive results tbh. However I do moisturise and clean my pillows routinely so that's just me probably.

I forgot
i also forgot why you aren't 
Lmao no, I'm not gonna put on sunscreen just for leaving the house. It's too much effort, i cant even keep up with this routine. When i do, i do face wash + moisturizer (supposed to be twice a day
) and exfoliate once a week
I massage it in with circular motions
I kinda wanna get a milia removal tbh but idk if it'll leave scars

how is sunscreen too much effort
you stupid 
r-slurred 
scrote 
idk if they have it in swedistan but there's one that comes in a stick 
like deodorant and it takes two seconds to apply 
if you have milia then it's probably caused by sun damage r-slur 
it's litrully the easiest thing you can do to help
this one https://www.shiseido.com/ca/en/clear-sunscreen-stick-spf-50-SHC194523169808.html probably can find a cheaper knockoff but idk how that's any effort

Yes, it's perfectly fine, the concentrations in those are so low you'd have to be r-slurred to damage yourself. I would recommend a salycylic acid peel if you have any oiliness concerns and a glycolic peel otherwise. Remember to start on a low concentration!

Look at hazelnut oil, I found it great due to being an astringent.

Actives in face washes are notoriously bad at actually doing the things they're intended for, you're not leaving them on long enough. So it's unlikely to hurt. And even if it does it won't do anything permanent
You're more likely to have an issue with foaming cleansers drying you out than the actives in them being too much for your skin in my experience. Just make sure to moisturize well whatever you end up doing

How long should i leave on face wash? The bottle doesn't even say to leave it on but i read online you should so i let it sit for one minute, is that enough or no

Also - add in one active at a time. Don't take my comment to mean get all that at once cus your face would be hurting lol and depending on age/skin concerns you probably wouldn't even benefit from all of them

Don't leave face wash any longer than you regularly would just to scrub at your face, actives are designed to be left on all day or overnight, so actives in face washes are just gimmicks
I would say get a face wash that works for you (I do an oil cleanser because I use sunscreen, but a non foaming water based one formulated for dry skin works well for non makeup/sunscreen days for me) and use a separate active step. Paula's choice has small sizes and I love her BHA. Stratia makes my fav AHA. And prescription is the way to go for retinols imo
