Yes, salicylic acid can be combined with niacinamide when making a homemade skincare product, as long as the product doesn’t contain too high a concentration of salicylic acid. This combination helps regulate sebum, reduce signs of aging, soothe redness, even out skin tone, and tighten pores. However, it’s best to avoid this combination if you’re already using our salicylic acid serum, as it contains a sufficient concentration of the active ingredient. Also, avoid using other products containing AHAs or BHAs when using salicylic acid.

BIOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION
Salicylic acid is a phenolic beta-hydroxy acid. In cosmetics, its small size allows it to easily penetrate the epidermis. Its anti-inflammatory properties attracted the interest of chemists early on, though they modified it due to its unpleasant taste. This resulted in a new molecule, acetylsalicylic acid, better known as “aspirin.”
TRACEABILITY & SUSTAINABILITY
The plant-based salicylic acid used at Aroma-Zone is extracted from black willow bark.
The skin concerns addressed include blackheads and comedones, excess sebum, lack of radiance, uneven skin tone, and hyperpigmentation spots.
It purifies the skin and unclogs pores, helps eliminate blackheads, reduces blemishes, minimizes uneven skin tone, stimulates skin regeneration, and leaves the skin smoother and softer.
In fact, this active ingredient offers multiple benefits:
Gentle exfoliation: it removes dead skin cells from the skin’s surface and promotes cell renewal
Deep-cleansing action: by purifying the pores, it helps limit the buildup of sebum and impurities
Prevention of blackheads: it reduces the formation of comedones and helps maintain healthier, more balanced skin
Sebum regulation: it balances sebum production, helping to prevent excess shine and blemishes
Purifying action: helps limit the bacterial growth responsible for skin imperfections
Supports cell renewal: it promotes epidermal regeneration for smoother, softer skin
Improved skin texture : helps refine skin texture and restore radiance and evenness to the complexion
Correction of irregularities: it helps fade pigment spots, fine lines, and minor surface imperfections.

Do not use them together, as their combination can sensitize the skin. Salicylic acid should be applied in the evening, while retinol can be used at another time in your routine to enjoy their benefits without discomfort, such as in the morning, for example.
