Salicylic acid is a BHA (beta hydroxy acid), 'meaning the hydroxy part of the molecule is separated from the acid part by two molecules (instead of one like AHAs aka alpha-hydroxy acids).'

'This means it can move around easier and better penetrate the pores. It's an excellent choice for treating spots and greasy skin,' she adds.

Not only can salicylic acid remove dead skin cells clogging pores, but Nurse Dawn Attewell explains that 'it can also help reduce the overproduction of oil in the skin, helps break down pimples, spots, and blemishes, and help prevent new blemishes from occurring.'

'Salicylic acid is your hero ingredient for any spot or acne-related concerns,' says Nurse Attewell.

The Facetheory Saliatica 2% BHA Toner T6, not only contains 2 per cent salicylic acid, but it's also packed with lactic acid, centella asiatica and microbiome. Plus, it's vegan and cruelty-free.

KEY INGREDIENTS

  • Salicylic acid (2%) is a beta hydroxy acid that works to unblock pores while soothing inflammation and redness.
  • Lactic acid (0.49%) is an alpha hydroxy acid that brightens and evens the skin tone and improves the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
  • Centella asiatica is an effective anti-inflammatory against eczema. By enhancing Type I collagen and encouraging the construction of fibroblasts, it can expedite collagen synthesis, which contributes to skin resilience and hydration.
  • Microbiome-balancing complex targets acne-causing bacteria, regulates sebum production, and reduces the appearance of acne blemishes and lesions.
