Salicylic Acid

Salicylic Acid: the purifying ally for combination to oily skin

Among the most renowned active ingredients in organic skincare, salicylic acid holds a special place. Part of the BHA (beta-hydroxy acid) family, it is prized for its keratolytic action, meaning it helps remove dead skin cells accumulated on the surface. Unlike AHAs (fruit acids), which are water-soluble, salicylic acid is lipid-soluble: it penetrates pores clogged by excess sebum and purifies deeply.

A friend against imperfections and shine

Thanks to its affinity with skin oils, salicylic acid is ideal for blemish-prone skin: blackheads, pimples, and excess sebum. By promoting gentle, gradual exfoliation, it unclogs pores, refines skin texture, and helps reduce the appearance of imperfections. The result: smoother, clearer, and more radiant skin day after day.

Le Nettoyant Pureté: gentle yet effective

At Absolution, we’ve incorporated salicylic acid derived from White Willow into Le Nettoyant Pureté. Its gentle formula combines the purifying power of salicylic acid with soothing and balancing plant extracts. Aloe vera, Roman chamomile, and sage hydrosol complete the blend to cleanse deeply without ever irritating. The fine, airy foam removes impurities, makeup, and excess sebum while respecting your skin’s natural balance.

Why use salicylic acid daily?

A cleanser enriched with salicylic acid not only keeps skin clear but also prepares it to better absorb subsequent treatments. A perfectly cleansed skin enhances the effectiveness of hydrating, protective, and pro-aging products in your routine. Incorporating this simple daily step supports skin balance and restores a fresh, radiant complexion.

A bio-compatible ingredient

The salicylic acid in our products comes from plant sources, notably willow bark. It is used at concentrations that respect the skin’s balance, delivering both efficacy and gentleness. This is a perfect example of nature and science working in harmony, reflecting Absolution’s philosophy.

Conclusion: essentials for balanced skin

Salicylic acid is more than just an exfoliant: it’s a key active for anyone looking to control shine, reduce blemishes, and reveal fresh, luminous skin.
