"This is not going to help even out your texture because it's not strong enough to help you even out your texture. But it says salicylic acid acne treatment, yet they choose to highlight 4% glycolic acid and polyhydroxy acid. I'm a little confused by this one because of the misleading marketing."

HOW TO USE SALICYLIC ACID FACE WASH 🚿 Dermatologist @DrDrayzday

"Neutrogena came out with a Stubborn Texture line. This is a really good cleanser option for those of you who maybe have acne and very sensitive skin, or maybe you're just looking to incorporate a salicylic acid cleanser into your routine to improve skin texture, or maybe you have keratosis pilaris. It's not specifically marketed to the keratosis pilaris crowd but it has one percent salicylic acid, so a touch slower onset compared to the two percent, but less likely to be drying and irritating. In contrast to their classic Oil-Free Acne Wash, this one is free of fragrance. It also has glycolic acid in it, which can help smooth out the skin surface, so it's a good option for those of you who are looking to improve hyperpigmentation."

"They also came out with a newer salicylic acid cleanser, the Stubborn Texture one, that's really good. It's fragrance free, it has one percent salicylic acid as well as glycolic and polyhydroxy acids, and these help gently exfoliate the skin, which helps if you're prone to blackheads and pore clogging, and it can gently help with hyperpigmentation too."
