Why are we talking about an Acid? Is it not supposed to be kept off the skin?

….Because, it works!

What is Salicyclic Acid?

• Salicylic acid (another name for beta hydroxy acid)  is an effective and non-irritative application for skin.
• Salicylic acid can be found in cleansers, facial creams, and lotions.

Salicyclic acid is used for….

• Salicylic acid is ideal for people with acne and rosacea but can be drying if used too often.
• Use it only once a day if you have dry skin and twice a day if your skin is oily.

• Salicylic acid is particularly successful in treating acne, because it targets oil in hair follicles and exfoliates pores.
• Many well know acne treatment brands use benzoyl peroxide which is more irritating on exposed areas - Salicyclic acid is a good substitute for it

• Salicylic acid is a potent alternative for treating sun-damaged and hyperpigmented skin.

• It should not be used by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding, or by anyone allergic to aspirin.

Happy living & Cheers!
