Salicylic acid's effects on skin

People who often use cosmetics know that many cosmetics contain salicylic acid, but people don’t know much about what salicylic acid is, let alone what effects and functions of salicylic acid. So, let’s talk about the effects of salicylic acid on the skin!

Salicylic acid's effects on skin

Salicylic acid is an organic acid, and salicylic acid is currently considered to be fat-soluble, so salicylic acid has a more obvious effect on women's skin. Salicylic acid removes hyperkeratotic hair follicles, thereby unclogging pores. In addition, salicylic acid can damage the liver and kidneys. Due to its high irritation, continuous use may have counterproductive effects.

Effects of salicylic acid

1. Exfoliation: Salicylic acid is a special substance with super solubility. This substance can decompose excess sebum on the surface of human skin as quickly as possible and can deeply clean human pores. Regular use of cosmetics containing salicylic acid can nourish and delicate the skin, and can prevent toxins from depositing on the surface of the skin, which can reduce their damage to the skin.

2. Prevent acne: Salicylic acid can not only break down the sebum on the surface of human skin, but also regulate the oil secretion of the skin and play a significant role in oil control. After people's skin absorbs salicylic acid, it can prevent pores from being blocked, accelerate skin metabolism, and effectively prevent the formation of acne. In addition, salicylic acid also has a good effect in eliminating adverse symptoms such as blackheads and acne on the surface of human skin.

3. Firming the skin: Firming the skin is also one of the important functions of salicylic acid. It not only regulates the oil secretion of the skin, but also penetrates deep into the pores, allowing the old accumulated stratum corneum in the pores to quickly decompose and discharge. Regular use of cosmetics containing salicylic acid can prevent lipid substances from enlarging the pores, and can play an important role in shrinking pores and tightening the skin.
