My skin burns after salicylic acid. What now?

Skin type shared: Acne-prone

User question

I used salicylic acid daily for a week and now even moisturizer stings.

Pause salicylic acid and all exfoliating products. Keep a plain cleanser, barrier-support moisturizer, and comfortable sunscreen for at least two weeks. Burning is a sign to simplify, not add more. If pain, swelling, or severe acne persists, speak with a dermatologist.
