Always apply after your facial lotion if you do it before it doesn't work as well and sometimes it can scar more. But make sure you are only applying it on active zits during the day, at night you can put it on all of your trouble spots but if you use to much during the day it makes your skin more likely to burn in the sun and it causes more iritation.

As you might have guessed since cleansers are designed to remove things from your skin, it's much harder for the sal acid to get to where it has to go to be effective. Most of it is washed away during use from a cleanser. Kim, the salicylic acid should work better from a lotion than a cleanser.
