VITATEKA Salicylic Acid 1 % is a water-alcohol cosmetic solution for external use. Salicylic acid is a BHA (beta-hydroxy acid) and has long been familiar to fans of oily and blemish-prone skin care. The light alcohol texture dries quickly and leaves no greasy film, while the gentle 1 % concentration makes the product convenient for targeted home care.

In this article we look at the composition, how and where to use salicylic acid, and what to keep in mind.

A simple, clear composition

The formula is as concise as it gets. According to the INCI it is water (Aqua), alcohol (Alcohol) and salicylic acid (Salicylic Acid, 1 %). The water-alcohol base gives a light, non-greasy texture that evaporates quickly from the skin, while salicylic acid is a well-known cosmetic ingredient. No unnecessary additives — just a water-alcohol base and 1 % salicylic acid.

Care for oily and blemish-prone skin

Salicylic acid is valued in cosmetic care for areas with increased oiliness and a tendency to imperfections. It is convenient to use spot-by-spot — on individual areas of the face or body where the skin looks oily or imperfections appear. The light alcohol base leaves no stickiness and helps the skin look cleaner and more matte.

If you like caring for blemish-prone skin, take a look at other items in stock: soap with salicylic acid, a facial serum with AHA and BHA acids and a toner for blemish-prone skin.
