Salicylic acid and zinc sulfate
Work well together
Use them together in the same routine, applying the salicylic acid first and the zinc sulfate second for clear skin. Salicylic acid clears out pores while zinc calms redness and controls oil so they team up against acne. If your skin feels too dry, you can use a gentler strength or space them out.
