Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates deep into pores and dissolves debris - exfoliating skin and treating. It decongests pores, dissolves sebum and dead skin cells, reducing blackheads, whiteheads, and inflammation. Shop salicylic acid skincare products for acne.

All skin types require moisturizer. Dehydrated skin produces more oil to compensate for the lack of moisture, which can lead to more breakouts and shine.

The key is to opt for an oil-free, lightweight moisturizer or hydrators like a Hyaluronic Acid serum.

Yes, oily and acne-prone skin types can use exfoliators but keep in mind that aggressive scrubbing can cause micro-tears in the skin and spread bacteria, worsening inflammation.

Switch to Chemical Exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs). These acids dissolve the "glue" holding dead skin cells together, cleaning pores deeply and safely without the friction.
