The 2% salicylic acid effectively unclogs pores and prevents acne, making it an excellent choice for those with very oily or acne-prone skin. However, the high alcohol content is a double-edged sword - while it provides satisfying oil control, it can be too drying for many skin types. Recent formula changes have disappointed long-time users, and the fragrance may irritate sensitive skin. For oily, resilient skin on a budget, this remains a solid choice. For dry, sensitive, or fungal acne-prone skin, look to gentler alcohol-free alternatives like Paula's Choice or The Ordinary.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cbutton class=\"pp-back-to-top\" aria-label=\"Back to top\" type=\"button\" style=\"position:fixed;bottom:24px;right:24px;width:44px;height:44px;border-radius:50%;background:var(--pp-accent);color:#fff;border:none;display:none;cursor:pointer;z-index:50;box-shadow:0 4px 16px rgba(13,31,45,0.2)\"\u003e↑\u003c\/button\u003e\n  \u003cscript\u003e\n  (function () {\n    var btt = document.querySelector('.pp-back-to-top');\n    if (!btt) return;\n    var ticking = false;\n    function onScroll () {\n      if (!ticking) {\n        requestAnimationFrame(function () {\n          btt.style.display = window.scrollY \u003e 600 ?
