Salicylic acid for acne and scars?

Salicylic Acid is the new generation of products for improving the appearance of skin.It is a superior exfoliant that improves the appearance of damaged skin and scars without all the irritations associated with the Alpha Hydroxy, Glycolic Acid.

Salicylic Acid Peels are so effective because they exfoliate both the skin surface and within pores.It has been found that Salicylic Acid is effective with as little as one-fifth the concentration typically found in products containing Glycolic Acid. In a single study comparing a 1.5 percent Salicylic Acid product and an 8+ percent glycolic acid product, the Salicylic Acid product was shown to be a more effective exfoliant. Salicylic acid for acne and oily skin is highly effective.

It is oil-soluble and lipophilic so it penetrates sebum filled follicles and helps to unclog pores, loosen and lift out blackheads, even out skin tone, and prevent future outbreaks. Salicylic acid blends powerful skin exfoliation with skin soothing actions. It has ultraviolet absorbing properties that help to protect the skin from the damaging effects of the sun.

A series of salicylic acid skin peels can be utilized to stimulating collagen production and improving skin density and firmness, reduces pore size, minimizing areas of discoloration Soothes, conditions and moisturizes, treats stubborn skin conditions, such as acne and environmental/sun damage, prevent fresh acne scars.

Personally, I have tried "SALICYLICAcid 20% Skin Chemical Peel " to improve my hormonal acne and my acne scars.

The results i got were:

-Pores got smaller noticeably on the nose, but not as much on the cheeks.

-Face became much more smoother, the scars got blended in(not the major ones thought)

-Face is less oily after application as well as for the next 24 hours or so. No moisturizer was needed for me, as the amount of oil on my skin after use of the peel stayed at a perfect level.

-Face got lighter (can be seen in my pictures), and red spots from old acne lightened up slightly.

-Acne breakout decreased alot. I no longer get acne on my cheeks and forehead. My problem is the nose and chin, mainly the bottom portion of the nose.

I really recommend this product!
