As a type of polyhydroxy acid (PHA), it shares similarities with alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) but boasts a larger molecular structure, limiting its ability to deeply penetrate skin layers. This characteristic allows for gentle surface exfoliation, ideal for sensitive skin types. It also exhibits antioxidant properties and provides moisturisation to the skin. Its low potential for skin irritation permits daytime use, unlike AHAs and BHAs. However, consistent sunscreen application remains essential for comprehensive skin protection.

Classified as a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), it is renowned for its efficacy in combating acne by gently exfoliating the skin and maintaining clear pores. Its unique oil-soluble nature allows it to penetrate deep into the pore lining, effectively unclogging pores from within. This targeted exfoliation makes it particularly adept at reducing breakouts, including blackheads and whiteheads. Salicylic acid also helps to regulate sebum production, offering relief to individuals with oily or combination skin types. For those new to salicylic acid, it’s advisable to start with lower concentrations and perform a patch test, especially if you have sensitive skin, to ensure compatibility and minimise the risk of irritation.
