Salicylic Acid and Acne

Acne consists of a variety of skin blemishes including blackheads, whiteheads and pimples. A common underlying factors in all of them is pore obstruction. Salicylic Acid or BHA (beta hydroxy acid) is an oil soluble skin product that penetrates into the pore and helps ex-foliate and unblock the pore.

With acne the pores becomes clogged with accumulated oil and dead cells, and slowly enlarge and become infected.

We sell a salicylic acid gel that costs $41 for 118ml.

    Hello Dr Jo

    I have commenced treatment with your clinic and am already seeing great benefit in the tone and texture of my skin through needling, tattooing and peels for enlarged pores. Very happy!

    As my treatment requires nil exposure to the sun, I have started using invisble zinc ™. Apart from providing great protection, it also provides a beautiful base to mineral powder foundation.

    Obviously I am investing in my skin, so I want to make sure that Invisible zinc is OK to use and won’t clog pores which I am trying to minimise.

    My regime at the moment is:
    1. Cleansing
    2. Exfoliant with your ‘Paula’s Choice’ 2% BHA gel (the best skin product I have ever used)
    3. Moisturiser (Roc antioxidant)
    4. Invisble Zinc – if going out doors
    5. Mineral Powder foundation (if going out)

    Thanks for your time and excellent products and services
    Megan

    Hi Megan, yes the invisible zinc is perfectly ok to use, and we advise using sunscreen to everyone. Really glad you are getting the benifits and thankyou for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. regards Jo
