What is it?

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) derived from willow bark and other natural sources. Its oil-soluble nature allows it to penetrate deep into pores, making it a popular choice for treating acne and blackheads.

How does it work?

In dermatology, salicylic acid is commonly used in cleansers, toners, and spot treatments for oily and acne-prone skin. Its exfoliating properties help remove excess oil, dead skin cells, and impurities, preventing clogged pores and breakouts.

Beyond acne control, it also reduces inflammation and redness, promoting calmer, more balanced skin. With regular use, it can minimise the appearance of pores and enhance overall skin clarity. As it may cause dryness, it’s best paired with a hydrating product to maintain moisture balance.
