Collection: Salicylic Acid

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) commonly used in cosmetic exfoliating treatments to help improve the appearance of congested, blemish-prone skin. Due to its oil-soluble nature, salicylic acid is able to work within the pore lining, where it helps loosen dead skin cells and reduce surface buildup that can contribute to blocked pores, blackheads, and uneven skin texture.

This product is a wash-off chemical peel formulated with 2% salicylic acid, the maximum concentration permitted for cosmetic use under UK and EU regulations. As a rinse-off treatment, it provides effective exfoliation while limiting prolonged exposure on the skin, making it suitable for those who prefer controlled, short-contact exfoliation as part of their routine.

The formula has been designed to be gentle enough for sensitive or menopausal skin, where the skin barrier may be more fragile or prone to visible redness. Salicylic acid is known for its soothing properties and is commonly used in formulations intended for blemish-prone skin, helping to improve overall skin clarity while maintaining skin comfort when used as directed.

By supporting the removal of surface dead skin cells and helping to keep pores clear, this peel contributes to skin that appears smoother, more refined, and more balanced over time. Regular use can help improve the appearance of congestion and uneven texture without the heavy abrasion associated with physical exfoliants.

The 2% concentration has been carefully balanced within a rinse-off format to provide effective exfoliation while supporting skin tolerability. A thin, even layer is sufficient per application, making the product economical and suitable for gradual introduction into a skincare routine.

As with all exfoliating treatments, this product should be used according to directions and followed with appropriate hydration and daily sun protection. Avoid use on compromised skin. With consistent, correct use, this salicylic acid peel offers a considered approach to exfoliation for clearer-looking, smoother skin.
