🎯 At a Glance
🔬 How It Actually Works
The sodium salt of Salicylic Acid. It provides many of the soothing and pore-clearing benefits of BHA but has a much larger molecular weight, meaning it cannot penetrate deeply enough to burn.
💖 Why your skin loves it
Reduces sebum, mildly exfoliates the surface, and heavily soothes inflammation.
💡 Pro Tip
Perfect for highly sensitive, Rosacea-prone skin that breaks out from 2% BHA liquids.
⚖️ Myth vs. Fact
The Myth
It is just as strong as Salicylic Acid.
The Science
It is significantly weaker at exfoliating, but equal in its anti-inflammatory power.
