What is salicylic acid?

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that exfoliates dead skin cells and provides deep cleansing for pores. It is used for oily, acne-prone and congested skin to help improve the look of blackheads, excess shine and uneven texture.

Can salicylic acid help acne-prone skin?

Products in this collection are designed for acne-prone skin and help improve the appearance of breakouts and congestion with consistent use; results vary. Persistent or severe acne should be assessed by a physician or dermatologist for diagnosis.

Which salicylic acid products are in this collection?

For cleansing, there is PCA Skin Pore Cleansing Gel and Vivier Ultra Foaming Cleanser. For leave-on steps, there is PCA Skin Pore Refining Treatment, PCA Skin Intensive Brightening Treatment and PCA Skin Clearskin, a lightweight moisturizer for oily skin.

Will salicylic acid dry out my skin?

Some people notice dryness when starting, so introduce one salicylic acid product at a time and increase use gradually. A lightweight moisturizer helps skin feel balanced.

Do I need sunscreen when using salicylic acid?

Yes. Exfoliating acids can make skin more sensitive to the sun, so apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen each morning and reapply as directed. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before use.
