What is Salicylic Peel Therapy?
Salicylic Peel Therapy is a Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) based chemical peel designed to treat oily, acne-prone, and congested skin. Salicylic acid is oil-soluble, which means it can penetrate deep into the pores, dissolve excess sebum, and remove dead skin cells that cause acne and blackheads.
This peel is commonly used to reduce acne, clear pores, control oil, and brighten the complexion without aggressive exfoliation.
Ingredients in Salicylic Peel:
- Salicylic Acid (BHA) – The primary active ingredient that deeply exfoliates and unclogs pores.
- Alcohol (often ethanol or isopropyl) – Helps the peel penetrate the skin and carry active ingredients.
- Propylene Glycol or Glycerin – Moisturizing agents to balance skin dryness.
- Water (Aqua) – Acts as a base and solvent.
- Soothing Agents (in advanced peels) – Like green tea, niacinamide, or panthenol to reduce inflammation and irritation.
Note: Concentration usually ranges from 10% to 30%, depending on skin type and severity of concern.
