Salicylic acid

What is salicylic acid?

Salicylic acid is a widely used ingredient in cosmetics due to its keratolytic (exfoliating) properties. 

Properties and benefits of salicylic acid

In addition to its keratolytic properties, salicylic acid is also notable for its antimicrobial action. Its comedolytic properties are very useful for oily and/or acne-prone skin, as its exfoliating action helps reduce the appearance of comedones (pimples).
