Salicylic Acid Serum

Salicylic acid, the most commonly used BHA in skincare, penetrates deep into pores to remove bacteria, impurities, and excess sebum, preventing breakouts like acne and blackheads. Additionally, it exfoliates by removing dead skin cells that can make the skin appear dull and flaky.

Salicylic acid is naturally procured from the bark of a willow tree. It works wonderfully in fighting non-inflammatory acne and acne scar as well as hyperpigmentation of the skin. It is also a remedy against warts, corns, ringworms as well as dandruff. Salicylic acid is also an active ingredient in medicines used to treat skin disorders such as psoriasis, keratosis pilaris, and seborrhoeic dermatitis.

It can effectively reduce the bacterial count responsible for acne, it prevents the spreading of acne and breakouts.

Using Salicylic acid in Your Daily Skincare Regime.

Salicylic acid intended for daily skincare is most commonly used as a serum. Though a mild acid, salicylic acid should be used only once a day. You can use it in your AM or PM regime, but Salicylic acid is better if included in your night skincare routine. This is because salicylic acid peels off the superficial dead skin cells to reveal newer and younger skin cells.

How to use.

Put 2-3 drops of the serum on your face and gently spread it all over your face and neck region after proper cleansing. Allow the ingredient to soak into our skin for a minute or two before you layer it with other products.

The salicylic acid serum will begin to show its beneficial effect after using it religiously for at least two weeks. To get its full benefit, you have to continue using salicylic acid for 8-10 weeks.
