Brilio.net - Salicylic acid has become a mainstay ingredient in the world of skin care. This compound belongs to the beta hydroxy acid (BHA) family, having the unique ability to penetrate pores and deeply cleanse impurities .
Salicylic acid works as a chemical exfoliant, helping to remove dead skin cells and unclogging pores. This process is very effective for treating acne, blackheads and oily skin problems. Quoting from research in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, Thursday (25/7), it shows that salicylic acid is effective in reducing the severity of acne and preventing new acne from appearing.
The concentration of salicylic acid in skincare products varies, generally between 0.5% to 2%. Use at the right concentration can help improve skin texture, reduce inflammation, and balance sebum production. Apart from anti-acne benefits, salicylic acid also has anti-inflammatory properties. This makes salicylic acid useful for treating reddish and irritated skin conditions .
Even though it is effective, you need to be careful when using salicylic acid. Excessive use can cause dry skin or irritation, especially on sensitive skin. It is important to start with a low concentration and increase gradually as the skin tolerates.
Salicylic acid can also increase skin sensitivity to sunlight. Therefore, the use of sunscreen is highly recommended when using products with this ingredient.
Various forms of skincare contain salicylic acid, including facial cleansers, toners, serums, and moisturizers. Product selection must be tailored to your skin type and the specific problem you want to address.
