Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that exfoliates the skin, and it is derived from plants such as willow bark. This 2% solution helps to unclog pores and clear acne blemishes due to its exfoliant action and visible soothe irritated skin.
 
Salicylic acid works by dissolving the keratin plugs that block the pores and cause blackheads and whiteheads. It also penetrates deeper into the pores and breaks down the sebum and debris that cause inflammation and acne. By removing dead skin cells, salicylic acid improves skin texture, tone, and appearance. It can also help to fade hyperpigmentation, scars, and other skin imperfections.
 
Salicylic acid may also increase sun sensitivity, so a sunscreen should be applied after using this product.
