Salicylic acid
Salicylic acid is a BHA whose main function is to be an exfoliant and to treat acne. This was extracted from the willow bark and is very popular these days especially for those who have oily skin and acne prone skin.
BENIFITS :
Salicylic acid works by softening the topical skin, thus dissolving the intercellular lipids and freeing the ears with dead cell debris, enabling them to avoid congestion that can cause breakouts. This characteristic makes acne treatment, spot treatment, cleansers, and masks that are designed for acne skin type contain this ingredient since it fights inflammation as well as the bacteria that cause acne. Due to its property of decreasing the secretion of sebum, it is particularly useful in cases of oily skin, the consequences of which for acne and other pathological skin conditions include inflammation. Daily application will result in less coarse skin’s surface and thus fewer enlarged pores, and less facial skin dullness.
SKIN TYPES :
It is a reality that while salicylic acid is good for many, it can cause dryness and irritation when used excessively. It is vital to seal the skin with a moisturizer and should similarly employ a sunscreen because the epidermis becomes sensitive to sun due to exfoliation. In total, salicylic acid is a nontoxic multifunctional ingredient for those with skin condition problems that wish for the improved skin texture.
