Salicylic Acid is an organic compound that is derived from the hormones of plants like sugarcane. It is widely known for its effect in controlling acne, psoriasis, clearing pores and exfoliating dead skin cells.
It is classified as a Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHA) and has the ability to gently clear the upper later of skin, even on sensitive skin.
Here are the five reasons why salicylic acid is a must have in your skincare regimen.
1. Heals Acne
This is the number one reason to love Salicylic acid. As a plant hormone and a precursor to aspirin (a pain relief medication), Salicylic acid has the tendency to soothe the pain of pimples, reduce inflammation and heal wound.
It is able to reduce the size and spread of various types of acne just within a days of use. And what’s more, it is safe to use on most skin types.
The Nyon Derma Acne Free Face Cream contains 2% salicylic acid with Zinc and neem oil, provides quick and lasting relief from acne.
2. Unclogs blocked pores
Salisylic acid clears skin pores by deeply penetrating skin cells and hair follicles to melt out hardened oil and dirt. The debris block skin pores and prevent movement of substances between the dermis (inner layer of skin) and epidermis (outer layer of skin). And as clogged pores are major cause of whiteheads, blackheads and acne breakouts, clearing them promotes healing and beautifying of skin.
3. Great Exfoliant
Salicylic acid has the ability to weaken the tight bonds between dead skin cells and clear them from skin surface. This makes it ideal in fading acne scars, psoriasis, removing dry scales, clearing hyperpigmentation, etc. It reveals clear new cells that are youthful, bright and healthy.
4. Controls the release of sebum
Sebum is the oil produced by the skin to keep it from getting dry but unfortunately, too much of it contributes to acne breakouts. Salicylic acid, being oil soluble, is able to dissolve excess oil and prevent oiliness. The Nyon Derma Acne Free Face Wash is great in washing out excess facial oil without stripping skin.
5. Prevents Future Breakouts
With cleared pores and controlled sebum, salisylic acid is able to prevent future acne breakouts. Consistent use of the Nyon Derma acne free range is a sure way to maintain a clear and smooth face.
