How it Works

With Salicylic Acid, you can deeply cleanse and clear the pores, balance oil production, and train even the most blemished skin to behave like healthy, normal, blemish-free skin. Daily treatments result in marked, if not total, improvement in skin’s appearance, and help to achieve a continuous blemish-free appearance.

  • Salicylic acid loosens and removes aging cells, oil and debris attached to the skin surface.
  • Salicylic is oil-soluble and lipophilic so it penetrates sebum filled follicles and clean out clogged pores, resulting in marked improvement in acne prone skin.
  • Stimulates new healthy skin cell production and increased collagen formation.


Salicylic in Depth

Salicylic became a prominent and respected member of the the skin care community in 1997 at the American Academy of Dermatology where dermatologists confirmed their belief that beta hydroxy, salicylic acid is the next generation of products for improving the appearance of aging skin. After reviewing comprehensive data, the dermatologists agreed that beta hydroxy, salicylic acid is a superior exfoliant that improves the appearance of aging, sun-damaged skin without all the irritation associated with the popular alpha hydroxy, glycolic acid.

Dr. Albert Kligman, professor emeritus of dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine:

"Salicylic acid is effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving overall facial texture because it exfoliates both the skin surface and within pores, without all the iritation commonly associated with the alpha hydroxy, glycolic acid." It has been found that beta hydroxy, salicylic acid is effective with as little as one-fifth the concentration typically found in products containing glycolic acid, the most commonly used alpha hydroxy acid.

The superior exfoliation action of Salicylic Acid is thought to be attributed to its lipid- or oil-solubility. It concentrates it's exfoliating action in the lipid-rich outer layers of the skin where the skin's natural rate of exfoliation reduces with aging, causing a buildup of dry, dull skin flakes. According to Dr. Kligman, betas also exfoliate within the pores, a benefit not seen with the glycolic acid product tested.
