    Salicylic Acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) commonly used in cosmetic and dermocosmetic products for its ability to exfoliate inside pores, target blackheads, control sebum, and prevent acne. It is oil-soluble, making it ideal for treating congested or oily skin types.

    Commonly Used In:

    • Anti-acne serums and spot treatments
    • Exfoliating toners and peels
    • Oil-control cleansers
    • Pore-minimizing creams and pads
    • Dandruff shampoos and scalp treatments
  • Why Choose Salicylic Acid?

    Salicylic Acid works by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells and dissolving excess oil and debris within the pores. This makes it a go-to solution for blackheads, acne, and texture irregularities. It is also anti-inflammatory and helps reduce redness associated with acne-prone skin.

    Key Benefits:

    • Unclogs pores and prevents acne formation
    • Exfoliates both the skin surface and inside the follicle
    • Reduces blackheads, whiteheads, and breakouts

    • Soothes redness and inflammation
