SALICYLIC ACID

a.k.a. Acid19

Salicylic Acid is uniquely suited for acne-prone and oily skin because its oil solubility allows it to enter pores where AHAs cannot reach. We use it in our BHA-focused products for deep pore cleansing and acne prevention.

MECHANISM

Lipophilic beta-hydroxy acid that uniquely penetrates sebum-filled pores. Dissolves the intercellular cement between corneocytes for exfoliation. Directly antimicrobial against P. acnes bacteria.

BENEFITS

BHA — penetrates pore lining, clears blackheads/whiteheads, anti-acne, keratolytic
