I'm 22 year old female.in the summer I get oily t zone and rest of the face is normal. Sometimes pimple pops up here and there.in winter there is no such problem because my skin gets dry. So should I use a salicylic acid containing face wash for summer or a gentle one? Will it dry out my skin? Or an aha 6% cream will be better exfoliator for my skin type rather than bha?

Hello lybrate-user! the symptom which you are mentioning here seems to be a very common skin problem suffered by most of the teenagers. You can use salicylic acid face washes in summer also but in case you are facing dryness, use non comedogenic moisturiser after wash. Try to post pictures for better understanding and guidance.
