Salicylic Acid
Salicylic Acid is a potent exfoliant that penetrates deep into pores to remove excess oil and dead skin cells. It is most commonly used to treat acne and can also be used to treat dandruff, warts, psoriasis, and other common skin conditions. While salicylic acid is usually well tolerated, it can cause irritation and excessive dryness if not used properly

Ex Tax:€7.68What is Salicylic Acid and how does it work on the skin?
Salicylic Acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates pores, exfoliating from within. It removes dead skin cells, clears excess oil, and helps reduce acne.
Is Salicylic Acid effective for treating acne?
Yes, Salicylic Acid is highly effective for treating acne. It helps unclog pores, reduces inflammation, and prevents future breakouts by targeting oil and bacteria in the skin.
Can Salicylic Acid be used daily?
While Salicylic Acid can be used daily, it’s best to start slowly, especially for those with sensitive skin. Begin with every other day and increase usage as your skin adjusts.
Can Salicylic Acid be used with other skincare ingredients?
Yes, Salicylic Acid can be combined with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid. However, avoid using it with strong exfoliants like retinol or AHAs to prevent irritation and over exfoliation.
