BHA
Salicylic Acid
What it is
A beta-hydroxy acid originally isolated from willow bark. Oil-soluble, which means it moves through sebum and into the pore.
What it does
Dissolves the plug of dead cells and oil inside the pore, so blackheads clear and future blemishes are less likely to form. Also mildly anti-inflammatory.
