SALIC is the perfect exfoliator for normal and acne-prone skin. By softening and shedding the outer skin layer, salicylic acid unclogs pores while reducing redness. L-Lactic Acid nurtures the skin barrier by stimulating ceramide synthesis and lowers pH making Salicylic Acid optimally effective. Can also help prevent ingrown hairs after waxing or shaving.
I loved this product before it was reformulated. It changed my life. It cleared my acne by 80% which you know is a big deal if you have acne. Once my skin was good I switched to other things, but one gave me a bad reaction so I cam back to this and am so happy. Although the scent is a bit different than it used to be (I don't like it as much) it works the same for acne. It smooths my skin and calms any forming breakouts and reduces any active ones.
I was using 1% salicylic formula but I thought I should switch to higher strength but it didn’t suit me well, so I had to give it to my brother.
It's amazing how versatile this product is. I can use it on my face for acne control and body for ingrown hair treatment. It works fast, too. I notice a different after a single night of use, and consistent application is even better.
So I’m writing my review here because amazon will not allow me to review this product.
A couple of years ago this company sent me this moisturizer to test and review. It’s one of the very few products that I honestly truly loved. I have always been honest in my reviews!
I used this product myself for about a month. Then my teenage son started to develop acne. I got him a facial cleanser that works well for him but it was very drying to his skin. So I happened to have this and told him to try it. And that’s all it took. This is the only product my son will use religiously. He just came to me a few days ago and told me that he’s out of it again and needs more. So I just purchased it again! I wish amazon would look at my purchase history and see that I do, in fact, genuinely love this product. Why else would I continue to keep purchasing it at full price?
Bacteria implicated with acne only grows when pH is over 4 (1983 Greenman) – hence, low pH products are ideal for acne-prone skin. Acne sufferers typically have higher (less acidic) skin pH, which is optimal for acne growth (2017 Prakash).
