Salicylic Acid is a powerful Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) widely used in skincare for its ability to deeply penetrate and exfoliate the pores. It is particularly effective in treating acne, blackheads, and whiteheads, as it helps to dissolve excess sebum and dead skin cells that can clog pores and lead to breakouts. Salicylic Acid also has anti-inflammatory properties, which can reduce redness and swelling associated with acne.
