Salicylic Acid
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.

Hydrocolloids
Since the 1960s, hydrocolloids have been utilised to address acne concerns. Initially developed for wound care and facilitating the healing process, they have now become a staple in blemish treatment. Hydrocolloid patches delicately absorb excess fluids, such as pus and oil, from pimples while simultaneously safeguarding the area against infection-causing bacteria. Notable hydrocolloid ingredients include xanthan gum, carboxymethyl cellulose, cellulose gum, carrageenan, pectin, guar gum, and locust bean gum. When combined with niacinamide and other beneficial ingredients, hydrocolloids prove highly effective in combating blemishes.
