Salicylic Acid - The Ultimate Natural Acne-fighting Ingredient?
Let's get technical! Salicylic acid (SA) is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA as you probably know) that occurs naturally in plants such as willow bark. Salicylic acid has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, and also works as an exfoliant to remove dead skin cells. Screaming natural… screaming anti-bacterial! But how does this actually help you?
Well we all know that acne may form due to excess oils and dead skin cells blocking powers, not to mention bacterias getting trapped inside - yaak! Hey ho it's life and it happens to the best of us. This hero ingredient treats the pimple and skin by unblocking pores through breaking down sebum (oils) and bacterias for easier release and even better it prevents further breakouts.

This ingredient is amazing as it is a major multitasker. Imagine one ingredient that has antimicrobial properties (basically it actively fighters bacteria and fungi), it is an effective anti-inflammatory, it hydrates the skin, offers antioxidant protection and accelerates cellular renewal- Mic drop!

Did you know that Centella Asiatica has a long history as a medicinal herb? It's now being used as a skincare ingredient because of its compounds that contain potential to treat acne along with many other skin benefits! So what exactly is it?
Well in short- it is a tropical medicinal plant found in native countries such as India- and yes we travelled alllll that way to source it *joke*. So for thousands of years this plant has been used for anti-ageing preparations for the skin -must be pretty good then!
The benefits? Not only does it have anti-inflammatory properties and high in antioxidants but it prevents anti-aging and UV damage, speeds up skin healing and soothes skin. So this ultimately is your healing and prevention. What she said!
