Active Ingredient
Salicylic Acid
Salicylic Acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) derived from willow bark. It is included in Genova Blemish Spot Gel for its exfoliating properties, designed to help support a cleaner-looking skin surface and more refined pore appearance with consistent daily use.
How Does It Work?
- Supports Surface Cleansing - As a BHA, Salicylic Acid is oil-soluble, allowing it to work at the skin's surface to help lift away excess oil and surface debris that can contribute to a congested-looking complexion.
- Supports Gentle Exfoliation - Designed to help remove dead skin cells on the surface, contributing to a smoother, more refined skin texture with regular use.
- May Help Support Skin Clarity - With consistent use, it may help contribute to a clearer-looking skin surface and a more refined pore appearance over time.
- Supports a More Balanced Skin Surface - Designed to help support more balanced oil levels at the skin's surface, which may contribute to a less shiny, more comfortable complexion.
Who Is It For?
Salicylic Acid is included in Genova Active Foaming Cleanser for women with oily, combination, or congestion-prone skin - particularly those experiencing changes in sebum production associated with hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause and menopause. It is formulated at a mild concentration suitable for daily cleansing use.
