What Is Salicylic Acid ER and How Does It Work

Salicylic acid is a keratolytic, meaning it helps loosen and soften the outer layer of thickened or scaly skin so it can shed more easily. The extended-release 6% cream and lotion formulations are labeled to help remove excess keratin in hyperkeratotic skin disorders, including certain types of ichthyosis, keratosis pilaris, and psoriasis affecting the body, scalp, palms, or soles. It's typically applied at night to clean, hydrated skin and washed off in the morning, as directed by your prescriber.

Comparing Prices on Salicylic Acid ER

Because salicylic acid ER is prescribed by its generic name rather than sold as a single branded product, cash prices can vary substantially from one pharmacy to the next. Rx.com compares prices at thousands of pharmacies so you can find the lowest cash price for your prescription near you — enter your ZIP code above to compare.

Alternatives and Comparisons

Lower-strength, over-the-counter salicylic acid products (commonly 2% or similar) are available for milder dry-skin or acne-related uses without a prescription. For hyperkeratotic conditions like psoriasis, your provider may also consider topical corticosteroids, vitamin D analogues, or other keratolytics such as lactic acid or urea-based creams, depending on the area and severity involved.

Safety Information

  • For external use only; avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes.
  • Don't use over large areas of skin, under occlusive dressings, or in children under 12, without your provider's specific direction, since excess absorption can lead to salicylate toxicity (salicylism), with symptoms like ringing in the ears, nausea, vomiting, or dizziness.
  • Don't combine with oral aspirin or other salicylate-containing products without talking to your provider.
  • Avoid use in children or teenagers with chickenpox or flu-like symptoms because of a possible link to Reye's syndrome.
