Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that helps to reduce acne breakout like blackheads and whiteheads. It exfoliates and sheds dead cells from the top layer of the skin and unclog pores. This eliminates pimples and decreases redness and inflammation. It can also help prevent future breakouts.

You should consider using salicylic acids if your skin shows signs of :

acne, inflammation, redness, clogged pores
