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.
