SALICYLIC PEEL

Salicylic acid peel is a chemical peel mostly used to treat acne. Chemical peels are sometimes called dermal peeling or chemexfoliation.
The process involves applying a chemical to the skin that causes the skin to break down and shed. Different chemicals are used, including glycolic acid, mandelic acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid, which affect the skin at different depths.

Salicylic acid is known as a beta-hydroxy acid, or BHA, and has been used on the skin for more than 2000 years. It comes from natural sources of salicylates like willow bark, sweet birch, and wintergreen leaves, but it can be made synthetically.
