SALICYLIC ACID (BHA)

WHAT IS SALICYLIC ACID (BHA)?

Salicylic acid, also known as Beta-Hydroxy Acid (BHA), is a chemical agent that occurs naturally in plants and can also be synthetically produced. Originally derived from the bark of the willow (Salix), salicylic acid has a long history in traditional medicine, particularly as an anti-inflammatory agent.

In the cosmetics industry, salicylic acid is often used in combination with other fruit acids like glycolic acid to enhance its effectiveness and address a broader range of skin issues.

EFFECTS OF SALICYLIC ACID IN SKINCARE

Salicylic acid works by accelerating skin renewal and clearing clogged pores of excess sebum. This effect is particularly beneficial in the treatment of acne, skin imperfections, and oily skin. Salicylic acid also has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that are helpful for red and inflamed skin conditions like rosacea.

ANTIOXIDANT POWER OF SALICYLIC ACID

As a Beta-Hydroxy Acid, salicylic acid also has antioxidant properties that protect the skin from environmental damage and oxidative stress. This helps to keep the skin healthy and youthful.

PROMOTION OF SKIN RENEWAL

Salicylic acid promotes skin renewal by removing dead skin cells and stimulating the formation of new, healthy skin cells. This leads to improved skin texture and a more radiant complexion.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY PROPERTIES IN ACNE AND ROSACEA

Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, salicylic acid is particularly effective in treating acne and rosacea. It soothes the skin, reduces redness, and supports the healing of inflammatory skin conditions.

KERATOLYTIC EFFECT IN CORNIFICATION DISORDERS

Salicylic acid has a keratolytic effect, meaning it effectively treats skin cornification disorders. This makes it an important component in the treatment of cornification disorders and psoriasis.

Overall, salicylic acid (BHA) is a versatile and effective active ingredient in skincare that not only protects and clarifies the skin, but also promotes its natural beauty and health.

SALICYLSÄURE UND VERSCHIEDENE HAUTTYPEN

Salicylsäure, als Beta-Hydroxysäure (BHA), ist ein vielseitiger Wirkstoff, der für eine Reihe von Hauttypen geeignet ist:

SALICYLSÄURE BEI FETTIGER HAUT

Salicylsäure ist besonders effektiv bei fettiger Haut. Sie hilft, die Talgproduktion zu regulieren und verstopfte Poren zu öffnen. Ihre entzündungshemmenden Eigenschaften wirken sich positiv auf Akne und Hautunreinheiten aus, indem sie Rötungen und Entzündungen reduzieren.

SALICYLSÄURE BEI TROCKENER HAUT

Obwohl Salicylsäure hauptsächlich für fettige Hauttypen empfohlen wird, kann sie in geringen Konzentrationen auch für trockene Haut geeignet sein. Sie hilft, abgestorbene Hautzellen zu entfernen und die Hauterneuerung zu fördern, was zu einer glatteren und frischeren Haut führt.

SALICYLSÄURE BEI REIFER HAUT

Bei reifer Haut kann Salicylsäure helfen, die Hautstruktur zu verbessern und die Erscheinung von feinen Linien und Falten zu reduzieren. Ihre exfolierenden Eigenschaften fördern eine gesunde Hauterneuerung und tragen zu einem jugendlicheren Aussehen bei.

SALICYLSÄURE BEI EMPFINDLICHER HAUT

Empfindliche Hauttypen sollten Salicylsäure mit Vorsicht verwenden, da sie irritierend wirken kann. In geringen Konzentrationen und bei sorgfältiger Anwendung kann sie jedoch auch bei empfindlicher Haut Entzündungen lindern und zur Hautberuhigung beitragen.

SALICYLSÄURE BEI MISCHHAUT

Für kombinierte Haut bietet Salicylsäure eine ausgleichende Wirkung. Sie hilft, überschüssigen Talg in öligen Bereichen zu reduzieren, während sie gleichzeitig trockene Bereiche durch die Entfernung abgestorbener Hautzellen revitalisiert. Dies führt zu einem ausgeglichenen und klareren Hautbild.
