What is BHA?

BHA, also known as Salicylic Acid, is a mild acid derived from the tree bark of the willow. An exfoliant that acts on the horny layer of the skin to reduce the signs of skin ageing & to remove dead skin cells. This process not only rejuvenates the skin but also allows for better absorption of other skincare products.

Beyond its exfoliating benefits, salicylic acid also has fat-dissolving, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. Which makes it beneficial for those dealing with oily or acne skin. Moreover, there are indications that salicylic acid can help reduce signs of skin aging caused by sunlight exposure, providing a dual benefit of clearer and younger-looking skin.

Salicylic acid & retinol

Salicylic is excellent in combination with Retinol: it allows retinol to penetrate deeper into the skin. This combination can lead to improved skin texture and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
