Salicylic acid skincare is beneficial for acne, oily skin, or anyone with enlarged pores. Because it’s an exfoliant with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, it can be used to reduce the size of pimples, calm inflammation, dissolve oil, reduce redness and shine, and prevent new breakouts from forming. Salicylic acid can be applied to the face and body to prevent breakouts on the shoulders, back, bum, and more. Our Back-Up Plan Acne-Control Body Mist uses 2% salicylic acid, along with witch hazel and tea tree oil, to target body acne, shine, and oil.
