Keratolytic exfoliant (BHA), purifying, anti-blemish

Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) originally extracted from willow bark. Known for its keratolytic and purifying properties, it is widely used in skincare for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin.

Cosmetic indications

This active ingredient is recommended for skin prone to acne, blackheads, and imperfections. It helps unclog pores, reduce excess sebum, and limit bacterial proliferation. It is also used to treat dandruff and oily scalps.

Specific components and properties

INCI: Salicylic Acid.
Salicylic acid penetrates pores due to its lipid solubility. It has an exfoliating action by removing dead skin cells, regulates sebum, and possesses anti-inflammatory activity that soothes skin irritations.

Practical uses
