Information
Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) widely used in skincare for its exfoliating, anti-inflammatory, and acne-fighting properties. It penetrates deep into the pores to dissolve excess oil and dead skin cells, helping to clear and prevent breakouts. Known for its effectiveness in treating acne, blackheads, and whiteheads, salicylic acid is a staple in many skincare routines.
Where does it come from?
Salicylic acid is derived from salicin, a compound found in the bark of willow trees (Salix species) and other plants. It can also be synthetically produced for use in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The acid is refined and purified to ensure its efficacy and safety in skincare formulations.
Exfoliating: Exfoliates the skin by penetrating deep into the pores to remove dead skin cells, reducing clogged pores and promoting a clearer complexion.
Anti-acne: Helps to treat and prevent acne, blackheads, and whiteheads by dissolving excess sebum oil production and debris.
Soothing: Reduces inflammation and redness associated with acne and other skin conditions.
Tone-evening: Promotes a more even skin tone by minimizing the appearance of dark spots and post-acne marks.
Smoothing: Improves skin texture, making it smoother and more refined.
