Salicylic Acid

Salicylic acid has many benefits, including anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-acne, and exfoliating. It loosens dead skin cells to relieve clogged pores and blackheads and reduces bacterial growth on the skin surface and in oil glands.
Salicylic is best for people with oily and acne-prone skin but can also be an excellent option for people with normal/dry skin who have the occasional breakout. Salicylic acid can be effective in almost any form: spot gel, face wash, peels, creams, pads, etc.
