Is Salicylic Acid a BHA?

Salicylic Acid is a BHA or beta-hydroxy acid. It works by breaking down thick layers of skin and can prevent acne and other skin conditions. The FDA states that Salicylic acid is the most common BHA in skincare products and can act as an exfoliant that can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving overall skin texture, without the occasional irritation associated with the use of AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids).

Does Salicylic Acid help with Acne?

According to Medical News Today Salicylic Acid can help treat acne in several ways:

1) It can unclog blocked pores on the surface of the skin
2) Remove dead skin from the surface of the skin
3) Remove oil from the skin

One study showed that, people using 0.5% Salicylic acid twice daily had a more significant reduction in acne compared to a placebo.
