Salicylic Acid

Call it a dermatologist's favourite or a staple chemical for curing acne, Salicylic Acid is a potent, common, and most preferred medicated topical solution widely used in the skincare world. 

Salicylic acid is a Beta-Hydroxyl Acid (BHA) with versatile properties that can cure multiple skin conditions, such as psoriasis, cons, dandruff, or calluses. However, it is also a popular choice as an antidote for acne and pimples because of the desirable results it provides. 

How does salicylic acid work?

Topical salicylic acid treats or prevents acne by reducing redness and swelling, unblocking pores, and eventually allowing the pimples to shrink. It works by softening and exfoliating the outer layer of the skin, effectively removing excess oil and dead skin cells which accumulate, clog pores and form acne. This process helps to prevent new breakouts and promote clearer skin. 

Skincare solutions offered by salicylic acid

1. Acne: Penetrates deep into the skin and dissolves excess oil and debris. 
2. Exfoliation: Promotes shedding of dead cells, thereby improving skin texture.
3. Unclogs Pores: Prevents formation of whiteheads and blackheads.
4. Inflammation: Reduces redness and swelling
