Description

Salicylic acid is a medicated topical gel, cream, lotion or solution. It treats and prevents acne along with other skin conditions, like warts, psoriasis, calluses and corns. Salicylic acid works by breaking down layers of thick skin.

Salicylic acid works best for mild acne (blackheads and whiteheads). It can also help prevent future breakouts.

Salicylic acid is also used in higher concentrations as a peeling agent for the treatment of:

• acne
• acne scars
• age spots
• melasma
