Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA)

Beta Hydroxy Acid (most commonly salicylic acid) is an oil-soluble exfoliant that penetrates deep into pores to dissolve excess sebum, dead cells, and buildup. Unlike AHAs, BHAs are ideal for oily, acne-prone, or congested skin and scalp conditions. In the AgeBiome™ framework, BHAs may be used cautiously in scalp rituals or transitional Reset phases where oil balance is disrupted.

Why It’s Used:

  • Clears out clogged pores and follicular buildup
  • Reduces oiliness and sebum congestion
  • Calms inflammation in reactive or acne-prone skin
  • Supports scalp decongestion in Tricho Reboot prep
  • Prepares the skin for deeper serum delivery
  • Often used in micro-mapping strategies to target problem zones

What It Means for You:

BHAs help your skin and scalp feel clearer, calmer, and less reactive, especially if you're dealing with oil imbalance or congestion that masks your glow.
