Description
A beta hydroxy acid that gently exfoliates dead skin cells and helps unclog pores, making it particularly effective for treating acne and improving skin texture. It also provides mild conditioning benefits and acts as a preservative in formulations. Generally well-tolerated, though it may cause initial dryness or irritation, especially for sensitive skin types.
