Key Benefits
SalidexTM (Salicylic Acid 99%)
Exfoliation
Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that effectively exfoliates the skin by dissolving dead skin cells, leading to smoother and more even skin texture.
Acne Treatment
It penetrates into the pores to break down excess oil and unclog pores, making it a key ingredient in acne-fighting formulations.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Due to its anti-inflammatory effects, salicylic acid reduces redness and swelling associated with acne and other skin conditions.
Improvement of Skin Clarity
Regular use helps to diminish the appearance of blackheads, whiteheads, and other blemishes, resulting in clearer skin.
Oil Control
Salicylic acid helps reduce excess sebum production, making it ideal for formulations targeting oily or combination skin.
Keratolytic Action
By softening keratin, the protein that forms the outer layer of the skin, salicylic acid enhances cell turnover and reduces rough skin patches.
Enhanced Penetration of Actives
Its ability to exfoliate the outer skin layer improves the absorption of other active ingredients, enhancing the efficacy of a formulation.
Reduction of Hyperpigmentation
It aids in reducing post-acne marks and hyperpigmentation by promoting faster cell turnover and exfoliation.
Scalp Care
Salicylic acid can be used in hair care formulations to combat dandruff and other scalp conditions by exfoliating the scalp and reducing flakiness.
Compatibility in Formulations
Salicylic acid is versatile and can be incorporated into various types of formulations including creams, serums, toners, and cleansers.
