Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) known for its deep exfoliating properties. It works by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to shed more easily. This helps unclog pores, reduce the formation of acne, and smooth out rough skin texture. Salicylic acid is also effective in reducing inflammation and redness, making it particularly beneficial for individuals with acne-prone or oily skin. Long-term use has been shown to reduce acne lesions, control oil production, and minimize the appearance of pores, resulting in a clearer and smoother complexion.

Lab-to-Skin Journey:

Salicylic acid is lipid-soluble, which allows it to penetrate the skin’s pores more deeply than water-soluble ingredients. Once absorbed, it works by dissolving sebum and dead skin cells that may clog pores, which is the primary cause of acne. It also has anti-inflammatory effects, helping to reduce swelling and redness. Additionally, it promotes cell turnover, encouraging the production of fresh skin cells, which can help improve the skin’s texture and prevent future breakouts.
