What is Salicylic Acid 2.0?
Salicylic Acid 2.0 refers to a modern, advanced form of classic salicylic acid (BHA). .In this process, salicylic acid is specifically bound to plant-based polysaccharides derived from acacia gum (Acacia Senegal Gum).This molecular compound ensures that the active ingredient acts more slowly and in a controlled manner, concentrating more on the skin’s surface rather than penetrating deeply.
The result: full efficacy with significantly improved skin tolerance.
Effect on the skin
Salicylic Acid 2.0 is specially formulated to meet the needs of oily, blemished and blemish-prone skin types. Due to its keratolytic properties, it exfoliates dead skin cells, refines the skin’s texture and helps promote clear, even-toned skin.
Skin care benefits at a glance:
- Visibly refines pores
- Helps clear blackheads and blemishes
- Reduces excess sebum and shine
- Promotes a more even, radiant complexion
- Leaves skin feeling smoothl
Studies show that the encapsulated form penetrates more slowly (-42%) compared to free salicylic acid, thereby significantly reducing the potential for irritation without compromising on efficacy.
