3% Salicylic Acid Serum is an oil-free water-based Exfoliation Solution containing 3% Salicylic Acid and Allantoin.
For all skin types but especially beneficial for people with Acne or Oily skin, Sun Damage, Uneven Skin Tone.
It is recommended that a sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher be applied daily when using exfoliating products.
A leading dermatologist, Dr. Albert Kligman, believes that BHAs, in particular salicylic acid, at concentrations of about 2-3%, are better than AHAs (Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid...)for anti-aging and for skin exfoliation.
Professor Kligman is well known in dermatology for his research on the anti-aging actions of retinoic acid (Retin-A). Results from Dr. Kligman's laboratory found that the outermost stratum corneum layer is renewed after applications of salicylic acid.
A small amount of the salicylic acid is converted into copper salicylate, a powerful and safe anti-inflammatory. This blends skin exfoliation with skin soothing actions. Salicylate also has ultraviolet absorbing properties.
Prof. John Sorenson has researched and written extensively on beneficial actions of copper salicylate on skin, general health, and the anti-cancer properties of copper salicylates.
