What is Salicylic Acid (BHA)?
Salicylic Acid is the reference exfoliant for combination and oily skin. It belongs to the family of the so-called Beta-Hydroxy Acids (BHA), which have the ability to deeply cleanse pores avoiding problems such as pimples.
In the case of having normal or dry skin, the exfoliant recommended for this type of skin is Glycolic Acid, unless the objective of use is to correct acne, in which case it would still be Salicylic Acid regardless of skin type.
Benefits of Salicylic Acid (BHA) for the skin
MAIN:
- Acne-prone skin: thanks to its triple antiseptic action, it decongests pores and calms
- Anti-blackheads: keeps them at bay by gently exfoliating your skin
- Smoothes the skin and reduces blemishes: by removing excess dead cells, your skin looks smoother and softer
- Exfoliates and renews the skin: contributes to the renewal process by removing dead cells left over from the stratum corneum of the skin
SECONDARY:
- Visibly reduces small sun spots and decreases hyperpigmentation
- Visibly reduces wrinkles and expression lines
- Improves penetration of other actives
What is the recommended concentration of Salicylic Acid (BHA)?
The concentration of pure Salicylic Acid included is 4%.
This is a high concentration so it should not be used directly. Always use with the device or dilute in a half base (1 part cream, 1 part Active).
How to use Salicylic Acid (BHA)?
· Day and night / SPF: During the day, use in combination with a base that includes sun protection or apply a photoprotector of your choice depending on the needs of your skin.
· With Retinol and/or Vitamin C: If we include other active ingredients such as Retinol or Vitamin C and we notice that the skin is slightly irritated, we can space out their use, alternating them during the day and night or using them on alternate days until our skin gets used to them.
* When not in use, store inside the device, in its box or in a dark place.
Is Salicylic Acid recommended for sensitive skin?
This active exfoliant has a special feature, which is that it has proven to have a calming effect on acne-prone skin. However, in the rest of the skins it has not been demonstrated, so the compatibility with sensitive skins we define it as intermediate.
If you have sensitive skin, we recommend you try it (mixed with a base) on a small area of skin, such as the inside of the forearm. If you have no irritation after 48 hours, you can use it. If not, consider switching to another antioxidant with better compatibility with sensitive skin.
Where is Salicylic Acid (BHA) found?
This chemically active exfoliant is naturally found in the bark of the willow tree (Salix), hence its name.

Buena marca!
Al principio dudaba un poco porque la marca no la conocía. Los resultados son espectaculares. Mi piel está mucho mas lisa y con el acné a raya.
Funciona!
Tengo la piel grasa especialmente en mis días del mes....leí en internet que el ácido Salicilico funcionaba para el acné y compre el de Lesielle. Por ahora no he notado que mi acné desaparezca del todo pero si me lo reduce bastante. Os lo recomiendo
Ácido Salicílico
Se que el ácido salicilico es un activo potente contra el acné, por ello temo utilizarlo al tener la piel sensible. Voy a probar poca cantidad y os cuento que tal me va.
Mi hija está encantada
Le pregunté a mi dermátologo por algún tipo de crema para mi hija ya que le esta saliendo acné y me recomendo el Ácido Salicilico. Compré una base que se ajustara a su piel y utizamos las dos el dispositivo. Mi hija lleva usando el Salicilico dos semanas y podmeos ver como disminuye algo ese exceso granos y los que tiene se secan antes. 100% recomendable.
Recomendable!
Llevo dos semanas utilizando el dispositivo y el tratamiento. Este activo me lo recomendaron para regenerar la piel y por ahora me esta funcionando muy bien
Se nota el resultado
Noto mi piel con menos granitos , a mi me funciona
Ácido Salícilico
100% recomendable. Sufro descamación en la piel y mi dermatóloga me recomendó usar un Salicílico, llevo aplicandomelo un mes y lo recomiendo muchísimo si tienes mi mismo problema!
