Can I Put Oil Over Salicylic Acid?

Salicylic acid targets oil and gets rid of dead skin, but I use a strong dose, either 5% or 10% so it does make my face flake. If I put an oil on over it, say emu oil or grapeseed oil, will it keep the salicylic acid from doing it's job?

Using oil over salicylic acid can be a really good idea. The salicylic acid can still do it's job of unclogging pores, but the oil can help counteract some of the general skin dryness and flaking.
