What is salicylic acid?


Salicylic acid is a gently exfoliating acid that helps to promote your skin’s natural exfoliation process. It penetrates into the pores to clear out excess oil and impurities.
When is the right age to use it?
When used in small amounts at a low percentage, it’s safe for teens, especially for oily or blemish-prone skin.
Why should teens use it?
This exfoliating acid is great for rough or bumpy skin, blemishes and breakouts – so if you’re feeling congested, reach for masks or treatments with this ingredient.
