What is salicylic acid?
Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid or better known as a BHA. It’s a well-known ingredient used in blemish banishing skincare thanks to being fairly oil-soluble, meaning it can penetrate the pores of the skin. This deep penetration means that salicylic acid works to unclog the pores making it highly effective in helping to clear breakouts.
What does salicylic acid do?
Salicylic acid unclogs pores and exfoliates. It gets deep under the surface of the skin and dissolves skin debris. Other benefits of using salicylic acid for skin include its anti-inflammatory properties and exfoliating promotion. It’s most effective in working to clear blackheads and whiteheads.
