Beta Hydroxy Acid Serum : What you need to know
What are Beta Hydroxy Acids?
Beta Hydroxy Acids are oil soluble chemical exfoliators and a great choice for oily and breakout prone skin
They work deeper in the skin than Alpha Hydroxy Acids, and can help unclog pores and target blackheads. With anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, they help control inflammation and reduce the bacteria that causes breakouts.
Salicylic Acid is the most commonly used Beta Hydroxy Acid in skincare and the ingredient to look out for! We use it in three of our top blemish busting products.
