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.
