Salicylic Acid and Cell Turnover
Salicylic Acid is an incredible chemical exfoliator. It is able to deeply penetrate pores and dissolve dead skin cells. This helps skin not only shed debris, but also promote cell turn over. This leads to a brighter, more even and radiant complexion and better skin conditioning. It is also amazing at making skin feel smoother and more silky because there is less dry and lose skin on the surface. Skin also feels firmer and more plump after a good exfoliation. It also has the added bonus of priming skin for any products that follow, allowing for all the goodness to be more easily absorbed.
