BENEFITS OF ADDING SALICYLIC ACID TO YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE
Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) used in skincare to manage excess sebum, clogged pores, and blemish-prone skin. Salicylic acid is an oil-soluble exfoliant that can deeply penetrate the pores to prevent pimple formation and smooth out skin texture. Its exfoliating properties can also help promote skin cell renewal to visibly fade certain types of hyperpigmentation and visibly improve fine lines and wrinkles. Salicylic acid (sometimes shortened to SA) can be found in cleansers, toners, serums and gels, and can be incorporated into both morning and nightly routines, depending on your skin type. Read on to learn more about using salicylic acid, how it benefits the skin, how to use it, and considerations when adding to your routine.

What is salicylic acid?
Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), derived from willow tree bark, that chemically exfoliates the skin, making it particularly helpful for oily and blemish-prone skin. It works by penetrating pores to clear out dead skin cells and sebum, preventing clogs and breakouts. Topical salicylic acid's exfoliating benefits also help promote skin cell turnover to improve uneven skin texture, bumpiness, and dullness, and promote a brighter complexion.
