Is it ok to use a face wash with salicylic acid even if i don't have oily skin?

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 :marseybearmerchant: 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)

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.
