Salicylic Acid
Salicylic Acid is a colorless, bitter-tasting organic compound commonly used in skincare products. It is a type of beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that helps exfoliate the skin by penetrating deep into pores, making it effective for treating acne and oily skin. By removing dead skin cells and reducing inflammation, it promotes clearer skin and prevents breakouts.
In addition to its use in skincare, Salicylic Acid is also found in various medicinal products, such as wart and corn removers. It works by softening and dissolving the keratin that makes up these growths, allowing for easier removal and promoting healthier skin underneath.
