Salicylic Acid
SALICYLIC ACID
Found in the bark of willow and sweet birch trees, salicylic acid is a natural skin exfoliant — beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) — that helps slough of dead skin cells to reveal younger looking skin.
Especially helpful for oily and acne-prone skin, salicylic acid unclogs pores, reduces blemishes and heals angry skin. In fact, it is a derivative of aspirin, therefore helping to calm skin, just as aspirin calms aches and pains.
We use salicylic acid in our products to help keep your skin clear and prevent future breakouts as it also has antimicrobial and antiseptic properties. We also love that it’s been shown to aid in collagen production, which in turn helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
