A beta hydroxy acid (BHA) or chemical exfoliant that unclogs pores and promotes cell turnover.

Salicylic Acid is a naturally occurring beta hydroxy acid (BHA) found in white willow bark. A BHA is a chemical exfoliant used in skincare to improve skin texture, reduce hyperpigmentation and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Both BHA and AHA are categorized as hydroxy acids and are chemical exfoliants used in skincare to remove the buildup of dead skin and improve tone and texture. Salicylic Acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (or BHA) while Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid are alpha-hydroxy acids (or AHAs).
The main difference is that BHA or Salicylic Acid, is lipid-soluble meaning that it is able to penetrate clogged pores. This makes it especially beneficial for those concerned with pore size or those with oily or blemish prone skin.
Salicylic Acid is an ingredient generally considered suitable for daily use, however it is recommended to start slowly and increase over time to allow your skin to adjust. Start with three days a week and then slowly increase to daily use as your skin allows.
Salicylic Acid is best suited for oily to normal skin and may be too drying or cause irritation for overly dry or sensitive skin.
The major benefit of using a BHA with Niacinamide is that together they work to clear and minimize pores. BHA helps clear the sebum and dead skin cells that stretch and enlarge pores, while Niacinamide is effective in improving the appearance of pores by helping to regulate oil production, calm the skin and support a healthier skin barrier.
Our formula is pre-balanced with BHA and Niacinamide plus calming Allantoin for optimal performance and skin support. If you are looking to enhance effects with an additional Niacinamide booster, use a wet cotton round to apply the liquid BHA Exfoliating Essence after cleansing and toning, then add 3 drops of a Niacinamide booster to your moisturizer or Vitamin C for maximum results.
Though 2% BHA Liquid has a fluid texture similar to a toner, it's designed for a different purpose. Instead of acting like a traditional toner, it exfoliates dead skin, unclogs pores, and hydrates to enhance your skin's glow.
