Yes, salicylic acid is a type of BHA (beta hydroxy acid). Known for its ability to penetrate deep into pores, it works to dissolve excess oil and exfoliate from within, making it an excellent choice for blemish-prone and congested skin. At Medik8, we use encapsulated salicylic acid to deliver all the benefits with minimal irritation, even for sensitive skin types.
Salicylic acid is a real multitasker when it comes to tackling congested skin. Because it is oil soluble, it can dive deep into pores to break down the buildup of dead skin cells and excess oil, the things that often cause blackheads, breakouts and enlarged pores. It gently exfoliates from within, helping to reveal smoother, clearer and more refined-looking skin.
