Salicylic Peel

Salicylic Acid derived from willow bark is an oil soluble BHA providing deeper exfoliation helping to minimise excess oil and lift debris to clarify the skin. Salicylic acid can be used for problematic skin, ageing skin to improve texture, sun damage and to treat pigmentation.

 

Salicylic acid is the only acid that works within the skins pore to effectively treat congested and problematic skins. Salicylic Acid acts directly on oily skin problems or those prone to acne, whiteheads, and skin blemishes. The salicylic acid formula mixes freely with existing oils on the epidermis as well as sebaceous material within the follicle.

 

How does Salicylic Acid Peel Work?

Salicylic acid works by penetrating the hair follicle and oil gland and dissolving the acne-causing blockages of dead skin cells, oil, and other debris. It also works to reduce the amount of oil being produced by your oil glands, making it less likely that new acne-causing blockages will form or grow bigger.
