Acts as a skin rejuvenator whiles it loosens and removes aging cells, oil and debris attached to the skin surface. Collagen formulation is increased as a new skin cell is being in production. It penetrates and cleans out clogged pores, resulting in marked improvement in acne prone skin and minimizing plugging of follicles. - regular use of Salicylic Acid will also result in a decrease in fine lines, a smoother skin, more even pigmentation and a reduction in pore size. Ingredients : Salicylic Acid, Alcohol (to dissolve Salicylic Acid Powder), Propylene Glycol. What is Salicylic Acid? Salicylic Acid came from a natural organic acid. A form of it was discovered in the bark and leaves of certain trees. That particular form of salicylic acid was acetyl salicylic acid. It was known and passed down for generations that when that bark was chewed, headaches or other inflammatory processes actually became improved. We know acetyl salicylic acid today as the drug aspirin. Salicylic Acid (BHA-Beta Hydroxy Acid) has been used to treat stretch marks, acne pimples, oily skin, scars, sun damage and aging skin! It is widely known that Salicylic Acid is excellent for acne and oily skin, sun-damaged skin, and aging skin. Salicylic Acid is more effective than Glycolic Acid, but it is less harsh on the skin. A small amount of the salicylic acid is converted into copper salicylate, a powerful and safe anti-inflammatory. So, when you use Salicylic Acid, it has it's own built-in anti-inflammatory effect to keep your skin from being damaged. Salicylic Acid blends powerful skin exfoliation with skin soothing actions. Salicylate also has ultraviolet absorbing properties. This means that it helps to protect the skin from the damaging effects of the sun. Glycolic Acid does not have these properties. It is recommended that a sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher be applied daily when using exfoliating products |
