Salicylic Acid (BHA)
Salicylic Acid has been shown to help clear up breakouts for many people. It’s well-known for reducing acne by exfoliating the skin and keeping pores clear.
It has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and is fat soluble, meaning it is well suited for more oily skin with blocked pores. It has the ability to exfoliate deep within the pores which dissolves the blockage because if this is left untreated, it would lead to inflammation of the skin.
