Salicylic acid is the best acne treating medicine to penetrate deeply into oily pores. It helps all other medicines reach into pores where acne starts.
Salicylic and Glycolic Acid Acne Treatment Pads are formulated with the ideal concentration of keratolytics - ingredients that break up blackhead and pore clogging debris. They clean out pores so that all acne medicines can penetrate deeply into the pore where bacteria and yeast thrive, leading to pimples.
Together, salicylic acid and glycolic acid lift oil and dead cells from pores to treat acne. If you are looking for an acne cure, these pads are perfect to use as a toner and second cleansing step, leaving behind glycolic acid and medicated salicylic acid to continue working to fight acne.
10% glycolic acid works to fight pigment problems and the signs of skin aging!
As an added benefit, these pads deliver the right glycolic acid concentration to address more than acne; pigment problems such as melasma, sun spots and brown acne scars (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation) can be improved with glycolic acid. This concentration has also been shown to help stimulate collagen renewal to soften acne scars and fight fine lines and wrinkles.
I recommend these pads be used once or twice a day after washing your skin. Swab the area to be treated and allow the skin to dry to the touch before applying other products.
Salicylic and Glycolic Acid Acne Treatment Pads, Extra Strength are a great addition to my Ultimate Acne Solutions Skin Care Kit. For stubborn acne, use it after cleansing and then apply additional acne fighting medicines and products after using the pads such as Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Treatment Cream Glycolic Acid Face Cream, Green Tea Antioxidant Skin Therapy, Retinol Night Cream, or prescription products from your physician.
For more information about treating acne please see my Acne Treatment Advice for Your Skin Type and my directions for use on the Ultimate Acne Solutions Skin Care Kit.
Please note, glycolic acid and salicylic acid can be irritating to the skin. If irritation develops, discontinue use and contact a physician.
