What does Salicylic do for the skin?

There are so many ingredients out there to tackle different skin concerns that it is easy to become overwhelmed when choosing the best for your skin.

One of the most talked-about ingredients is Salicylic Acid - especially in the battle against breakouts.

So let's take a look at this ingredient and see exactly who it is for and what are the benefits for your skin’s health.

Salicylic acid, also known as a Beta Hydroxy Acid, is derived from the bark of the Willow Tree.

Known for its ability to absorb oil and clear pores of any unwanted, acne-causing bacteria, this stand out Beta-Hydroxy Acid is a must for anyone tackling breakouts or acne.

At its core, Salicylic Acid helps clear pores and promote new cell regeneration by its exfoliating effect on the skin. By doing so, you're able to treat current blemishes and prevent new ones from forming.

Anyone who has excess oil, breakouts and acne will benefit from this oil busting ingredient.

As with any active ingredient, the key is to start slow. Introducing it into the skin carefully to avoid any adverse side effects.

All skin types can use salicylic acid, but it's best for acne-prone and oily skin.

As salicylic acid mops up oil it can dry the skin out, people with dry or dehydrated skin should opt for products with Glycolic Acid instead.

For those with sensitive skin to use it safely, always do a patch test first to make sure the skin will not react.

Designed as a skin-clarifying super serum, Clarity is formulated with two powerhouse ingredients: retinol, a form of Vitamin A which helps exfoliate and reduce the appearance of oil, and salicylic acid, a gentle yet effective exfoliant. Together these ingredients help clarify clogged pores that can cause breakouts.
