Razor bumps, also known as pseudofolliculitis barbae, occur when shaved hairs curl back into the skin, causing irritation, redness, and ingrown hairs. Salicylic acid (BHA) is one of the most effective ingredients for preventing and treating razor bumps, as it exfoliates deep within the pores, removes dead skin cells, and reduces inflammation.

Salicylic acid works by dissolving the buildup of dead skin and oil, which helps free trapped hairs and prevent clogged follicles. Unlike physical exfoliants, which can further irritate razor bumps, a well-formulated salicylic acid treatment gently smooths the skin while calming irritation.
For best results, look for a 2% salicylic acid toner or serum combined with soothing and hydrating ingredients. Niacinamide and aloe vera help reduce redness, while hyaluronic acid and glycerin keep the skin hydrated and prevent excessive dryness. If your skin is prone to sensitivity, a formula with Centella Asiatica or chamomile extract will help calm irritation and speed up skin recovery.
To prevent razor bumps, apply a salicylic acid toner or serum after shaving, followed by a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer. Regular exfoliation—two to three times a week—can help keep the skin clear and smooth. Daily use of SPF 50 sunscreen is essential, as exfoliated skin is more vulnerable to sun damage.
