Salicylic Acid
Salicylic Acid is a Salicin. It is considered to have aspirin-like, anti-inflammatory properties. Salicylic acid is one of several beta hydroxy acids, and works as a keratolytic treatment by exfoliating the skin, causing the cells of the epidermis to shed more readily, clearing clogged pores, andallowing new cell growth. It is especially effective because of its ability to
penetrate the follicle, clearing the pores of debris at a deeper level. It also has antimicrobial properties. It is well documented that salicylic acid can improve skin thickness, barrier functions, and collagen
production.

What Is Salicylic Acid and how do I use it?
Salicylic acid is a key ingredient which you’ve probably seen in many cleansers and blemish treatments. Thanks to its antibacterial properties and its ability to deeply exfoliate skin to unclog pores, it’s a valuable ingredient for anyone dealing with oily skin, breakouts, or acne.
What is Salicylic Acid?
Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) which (thanks to its molecule size) has the unique ability to deeply penetrate through multiple layers of skin – unlike alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) like glycolic and lactic acid, which can only exfoliate the surface layers.
How does it work?
Salicylic acid penetrates the surface of the skin and dissolves the ‘glue’ that holds cells together – this breaks down dead skin cells which clog pores, so reduces the appearance of blackheads and prevents breakouts from occurring. It also has the ability to penetrate through oil, so it’s really effective at reducing sebum and works well even for those with an oily complexion.
Why should I use it?
If you experience breakouts, oily skin, stubborn blackheads, or acne, salicylic acid will be a valuable ingredient to add to your routine.
When should I use it?
You can use salicylic acid in your morning and evening routines but should make sure an SPF is always included in your daily routine (because salicylic acid is an exfoliant, it will increase your skin’s sensitivity to UV).
