Salicylic acid, best-sellers
What are the benefits of salicylic acid on the skin ?
Also called BHA, salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid with an exfoliating action that eliminates dead cells and the accumulation of sebum. Thanks to its keratolytic process, it softens the superficial tissues of the epidermis and thus promotes cell renewal, acting as an anti-aging.
This active ingredient is part of the family of enzymatic exfoliations. Indeed, unlike mechanical (grain) exfoliations, here it acts through a “chemical” reaction process between your skin and the cosmetic product.
A star ingredient in face care, it is the key to exfoliating the skin and allowing the epidermis to regain its radiance. Due to its astringent and antibacterial properties, it dislodges blackheads, blemishes and pimples, decongests, tightens pores, smoothes skin texture, brings radiance. Just that ! It is therefore appreciated by combination to oily skin, prone to imperfections.
When present in our organic face care, smooth skin texture and an illuminated complexion are yours !
When to use a salicylic acid serum ?
For so-called “problem” skin, nothing better than our organic anti-blemish care. However, espe-cially for salicylic acid, it is important to use it sparingly as part of a beauty routine because it can cause irritation.
Also, under the effect of UV rays, cosmetic treatments formulated with BHA can cause skin reactions since this active ingredient is photosensitizing. This is why we recommend that you apply your BHA serum treatment maximum twice a week and only in the evening. In addition, it is essential to use sunscreen the next day. In our bestsellers, you can find the Mineral Drops SPF50 invisible sun-screen from the Odacité skincare brand. It will effectively protect your epidermis from skin aging and will allow you to avoid sensitizing your skin.
This active ingredient is ideal for the face, body and scalp. But beware, even natural, salicylic acid is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women as a precautionary principle. Also, it is not recommended for damaged skin and/or very inflamed skin such as for people with rosacea.
Why use a face wash with organic salicylic acid ?
Pollution, cold, sun... In a day, your dermis has to face many external aggressions. So, to have a radiant complexion, reduce acne and unclog pores, it is more than advisable to wash your face morn-ing and evening with an organic and natural treatment.
Your face reflects the care you give it every day. We therefore recommend that you use an organic salicylic acid face wash that ensures you an ingredient composition only based on natural, raw and unprocessed substances. Also, it helps to gently cleanse your face, respecting its natural balance and taking care of its skin barrier.

What are your tips for correctly applying a salicylic acid serum ?
The principle of a good beauty care routine is simple. First, cleanse your face with a foaming cleansing gel or micellar water. Then place a few drops of your serum in the palm of your hand to apply behind a face cream or oil : each of which may contain salicylic acid.
Moreover, as mentioned above, it is recommended to use this active ingredient in the evening. Indeed, it is not only photosensitizing, but in addition, at night, the epidermis is less stressed.
