[Research] Dr Dray says it's been demonstrated that salicylic acid penetrates the skin within seconds in face washes and is effective for acne and causes less irritation

Beauty Tips For Body Care
This sub turned me on to Dr Dray and something interesting she says in multiple videos is that it's been demonstrated that salicylic acid penetrates the skin within seconds in face washes and is very effective for acne. She adds that it causes less irritation than leave ons as well which can in turn further reduce oil production and acne. That's why she uses an SA face wash rather than a standalone. I notice Gothamista, also recommended here, does the same.This is counter to the prevailing response that the combination is useless whenever a SA+cleanser thread comes up in this sub. Is there any actual research behind this opinion that SA washes are useless/don't absorb or is it just something that sounds right and gets repeated? Is this a myth that should be overturned? If an active can be absorbed with less irritation it seems like we are scaring people off from a very viable or optimal solution, especially ones who get turned off by leave on SA irritation/reactions.Is anyone able to access the research paper(s) Dr Dray is referencing? Or is there any research specifically on SA that indicates the opposite? I tried searching pubmed for words like "salicylic" "wash" "effectiveness" "absorption" etc but can't find anything but I don't know if these are the correct terms that would be used in dermatology journals.
