This exfoliating solution from Revox is based on salicylic acid (and its salt form, sodium salicylate) as the main active ingredient, a fat-soluble beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) recognized for its ability to penetrate pores and dissolve sebaceous plugs. Its keratolytic action dislodges dead surface cells while regulating excess sebum, making it a relevant choice for acne-prone, oily or blackhead-prone skin. Propylene glycol acts as a humectant and carrier, facilitating the penetration of active ingredients, while xanthan gum ensures the texture and stability of the formula. The pH of the solution is adjusted with potassium hydroxide, an essential parameter for the effectiveness of salicylic acid. This product is suitable for oily, combination or blemished skin, but is not recommended for sensitive or reactive skin, people allergic to salicylates, or pregnant women. Sun protection is essential when using this product, due to the acids' photosensitizing potential.
