Dream - Acne greatly disturbs facial appearance. The appearance of acne can also be a sign of an unhealthy body condition. Overcoming acne is not always easy, especially if it is hormonal in nature.
The easiest treatment to overcome acne is to use serum or spot treatment. This method will make the acne mature and deflate more easily. After that, Sahabat Dream only needs to conceal the scars to restore flawless skin.
The use of skincare products containing salicylic acid often becomes the basic treatment for acne-prone skin. Salicylic acid can also be found in various types of skincare products, ranging from toners, moisturizers, facial cleansers, serums, and even sunscreen.
What is Salicylic Acid?
Salicylic acid itself is a compound that belongs to beta hydroxy acid (BHA). According to Medical News Today, this compound is often found in plants such as willow bark. The anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties in salicylic acid can help treat acne, exfoliate, and remove dead skin cells.
"Type of Acne"
According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), salicylic acid can be used to treat pustules, papules, blackheads, and whiteheads.
Pustules are pus-filled pimples. Meanwhile, papules are small-sized pimples with a harder texture, which can disrupt the skin's texture. Blackheads and whiteheads are not significantly different when observed with the naked eye. As the name suggests, blackheads will cause the pores to appear black due to hair follicle blockage. On the other hand, whiteheads appear white due to the blockage of pores by excess sebum and dirt.
"How Salicylic Acid Works"
Salicylic acid is able to treat acne by cleansing the pores. The use of salicylic acid will break down the accumulation of dead skin cells and excess oil, making it easier to remove when cleaned. Dream friends can also control excessive oil production by using skincare products that contain salicylic acid, so your skin will not easily break out.
"How much concentration should be used?"
The use of salicylic acid should be properly adjusted to the condition and needs of the skin, but usually the products sold in the market and used topically contain a concentration of 0.5-2 percent.
How to Use Salicylic Acid
The use of skincare products containing salicylic acid can be adjusted according to the instructions on the packaging label. Usually, skincare products containing salicylic acid are used once a day. When the skin starts to adapt, you can use it 2-3 times a day. Especially if it doesn't cause dryness or irritation to the skin.
"As an Exfoliator"
Salicylic acid in higher concentrations of up to 50 percent can be used to exfoliate the skin, but its usage can only be done by dermatologists.
If you want to try a product that contains salicylic acid, try ElsheSkin Acne Care Sollution which consists of Purifying Jelly Cleanser, Purifying Hydra Toner, Acne Spot Treatment Gel, Acne Care Serum, and HydraBoost Oil Free Moisturizer. Salicylic acid with a concentration of 1% in nano size makes acne treatment more effective.
