Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) derived from willow bark or synthetic sources. It’s a lipid-soluble exfoliant that penetrates oil-filled pores, making it highly effective for treating acne and oily skin. Commonly found in cleansers, toners, serums, spot treatments, and masks, it’s oil-soluble and works deep within the skin.

Key Benefits

• Acne Treatment: Unclogs pores, reduces blackheads, whiteheads, and breakouts by dissolving excess sebum and dead skin cells.
• Exfoliation: Smooths skin texture, minimizes enlarged pores, and promotes cell turnover for a clearer complexion.
• Anti-Inflammatory: Calms redness and irritation associated with acne or rosacea.
• Oil Control: Regulates sebum production, helping to prevent future breakouts.
• Mild Anti-Aging: Can improve skin tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines over time.
