Plagued With Breakouts And Clogged Pores? Add Salicylic Acid To Your Regime

by MOH SHUYING  /   September 18, 2017

Most people know that salicylic acid is great for getting rid of acne. Just slather some on your breakout and it’ll help to dry up and shrink the pimple. However, that’s not all the ingredient is good for. A great exfoliator, it helps to soften and slough off the top layer of skin cells, dissolve blackheads and unclog pores. Used long term, it also regulates sebum production. However, salicylic acid has a gentle side too. As an anti-inflammatory, it has antibacterial properties and can help calm inflamed skin. Here, we share the skincare infused with salicylic acid to incorporate into your beauty routine.
