BHA, Beta Hydroxy Acid, AKA Salicylic Acid, is an oil-soluble exfoliator that penetrates deep into pores to remove blockages caused by excess oil, debris, and dead skin cells. This helps reduce acne, blackheads, and whiteheads while improving skin clarity.
Suitable For: Oily Skin, Acne-Prone Skin, and Skin with Blackheads, and whiteheads.
Function
-
Deep Pore Exfoliation: BHA is oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate deeply into the skin and exfoliate inside pores. This removes dead skin cells and excess sebum effectively, helping clear congestion.
-
Surface Exfoliation and Cell Turnover: BHA promotes exfoliation of the skin surface, increasing cell turnover. This helps reduce visible signs of aging and improves overall skin texture.
-
Unclogging Pores and Acne Prevention: By breaking down sebum and dead skin cells that block pores, BHA prevents the formation of blackheads, whiteheads, and acne.
-
Anti-Inflammatory Effects: BHA’s anti-inflammatory properties reduce redness and irritation, making it ideal for sensitive skin prone to acne and rosacea.
-
Oil and Sebum Control: BHA helps regulate oil production, minimizing excessive sebum and the appearance of large pores.
Usage & Tips
Directions
-
Application: Use once daily at night. Follow up with sun protection during the day, as BHA increases sun sensitivity.
-
Patch Testing: Start by applying to a small area once a week. If no irritation occurs, gradually increase to 3 times a week. Daily use is recommended only after your skin builds tolerance.
-
Spot Treatment: Apply a small amount to affected areas or all over the face for maintenance. Avoid the eye area.
-
Caution: If irritation, hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing occur, discontinue use and consult a physician.
-
Sunburn Alert: Since BHA increases sun sensitivity, use sunscreen and protective clothing during and after application. Limit sun exposure for at least a week after use.
