When Used Together

CautionSalicylic Acid + Titanium Dioxide

[Class rule] BHAs can mildly increase photosensitivity — daily SPF is recommended.

Apply SPF 30+ every morning when using BHAs.

SynergyNiacinamide + Salicylic Acid

Niacinamide reduces post-BHA redness while salicylic acid unclogs pores — excellent acne-fighting duo.

SynergyGlycerin + Titanium Dioxide

[Class rule] Humectants under SPF maintain skin hydration and improve sunscreen adherence.
