Salicylic Acid: What it Does, Why YOU need it, & our TOP picks
Salicyclic acid (pronounced sal·i·cyl·ic ac·id) is a monohydroxybenzoic acid, say what? In simpler words, it's an anti-acne treatment that works as an exfoliant, sloughing away dead skin cells. It basically helps keep the pores clear of any cellular debris, aka, your pores getting clogged, resulting in breakouts and blemishes on the skin. This powerful ingredient also serves as an anti-inflammatory, reducing redness associated with those pesky pimples, breakouts, and more. In addition, it has anti-bacterial effect, helping to reduce and prevent future breakouts on the skin.
Why YOU need it? If you haven't tried products with salicyclic acid, you wouldn't understand why you must have, can't live without, NEED it! More likely than not, you have used products that contain salicylic acid without knowing it. This product works wonders and used in a daily skin regimen, can really make a difference in your quality of skin. As a natural exfoliant, this ingredient clears out pores and works hard to keep them clear. Without paying for an expensive skin procedure, any product containg this one ingredient will work hard for you, instead of you having to do all the work.
