Salicylic acid——the new darling of skin care products

Salicylic acid, whose molecular formula is C7H6O3, is an extract of plant willow bark and a natural anti-inflammatory drug. The commonly used cold medicine aspirin is the derivative of salicylic acid, sodium acetylsalicylate, and sodium para-aminosalicylate is a commonly used anti-tuberculosis drug. Salicylic acid is commonly used in dermatology to treat various chronic skin diseases such as acne (acne) and ringworm. Salicylic acid can exfoliate, sterilize and reduce inflammation, so it is very suitable for treating acne caused by clogged pores. The international mainstream anti-acne products are all salicylic acid, and the concentration is usually 0.5~2%.

 

Salicylic acid is usually found in products that inhibit sebum secretion, anti-inflammatory and anti-acne products, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that salicylic acid or salicylic acid is also used in the formulations of many keratin care and anti-aging products.

Different from other acids such as fruit acid, which have water-soluble characteristics, salicylic acid is a fat-soluble organic acid, which means that its function often only stays on the surface layer of the skin and does not penetrate into the dermis to play a role, so it is irritating The sex is lower, and sensitive skin can also be used with peace of mind. Because salicylic acid is the best choice for exfoliating sensitive and seborrheic skin: Salicylic acid BHA has fat-soluble properties and a large molecular weight, which can lock the effect in the superficial horny layer without affecting the active epidermal cells. Sex and irritation are relatively superior, and the chance of accumulative irritation and inflammation are less than those of general AHA.
