It is the largest of the common AHAs, which sounds like a technicality but is the whole point: a bigger molecule crosses the skin barrier more slowly, so it exfoliates and works on the bacteria involved in breakouts with markedly less sting, flaking and redness than glycolic acid. It is also the acid most often chosen for deeper skin tones, where harsher exfoliants can leave dark marks behind after a spot clears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSalicylic acid\u003c\/strong\u003e does the other half of the job. It is oil-soluble, so it travels into the pore rather than sitting on the surface of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it does not strip the skin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost acne products treat dryness and peeling as the price of clearing. This one is built around squalane, ectoin, betaine, panthenol and vitamin E, so the acids sit in a cushioned base. Skin that is barrier-damaged breaks out more, not less — stripping it is counterproductive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActive breakouts, congestion and post-spot marks.
