Collection: Private Label Salicylic Acid Serum Customized Mnaufacturer

Salicylic Acid 2% Solution is a water-based serum made with an optimum concentration of salicylic acid which targets textural irregularities while removing dead skin cells that can clog pores. And because it promotes exfoliation, this solution helps visibly reduce congestion, giving way to brighter, clearer skin.

How Does Salicylic Acid Work on Skin?

Salicylic acid works better on non-inflammatory acids than inflammatory acne-like pimples and pustules. It helps eliminate blackheads and whiteheads and helps prevent further episodes of breakouts on the skin. Let’s see how salicylic acid works on the skin.

Our skin continuously produces sebum (natural oil of the skin) and sheds old and dead skin cells. These sebum and dead skin cells often get accumulated in the skin pores and hair follicles and congest them. This leads to the formation of blackheads (open clogged pores) and whiteheads (closed clogged pores). These clogged pores also have bacteria-infested in them. If such congested pores get inflamed, they get filled with pus, forming pimples or pustules.

Topical Salicylic Acid as Anti-acne Agent:

When applied to the skin, salicylic acid penetrates the deeper dermal layers to unclog the pores and dissolves the accumulated dead skin cells and sebum. It then flushes away the debris and cleanses the skin.
This comedolytic property of salicylic acid helps in opening congested pores and reducing acne and further clogs the enlarged pores of the skin.
Salicylic acid also has a bacteriostatic property. It does not kill the bacteria present in the skin but can effectively slow down their proliferation. By reducing the bacterial count responsible for acne, it prevents the spreading of acne and breakouts.

Topical Salicylic Acid as an Exfoliant: 

Salicylic acid also has a hemolytic property. When used in higher concentrations, salicylic acid is one of the most commonly used chemical peels. It penetrates the dermal layers, dissolves off the dead and dried up skin cells from the superficial layers, and reveals the younger skin cells underneath. This process is known as desquamation. It also promotes the growth of newer skin cells.

Apart from salicylic acid's keratolytic and comedolytic properties, it also has anti-pruritic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory activities. Salicylic acid also helps in reducing fever.
