Salicylic acid is an oil-soluble beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that deep dives into pores to dissolve the sebum (aka oil), + dead skin cells, which helps to tackle spots, blackheads, lumps + bumps. It’ll effectively exfoliate the skin’s surface for instantly smoother results and help to lift away excess oiliness for a matte finish – it also an anti-inflammatory, which eases redness in the skin.
Who is it for?
Those with very oily skin – salicylic acid helps to mop up excess oil and reduce redness
Those with blackheads (open comedones) and whiteheads (closed comedones) – Sally gets to the root of spots and blackheads by clearing pores
Those with under-the-skin spots – Sally can penetrate deep into the pore, reducing inflammation

Those with keratosis pilaris (chicken skin) and bacne – use anywhere on your body
NOT for those with super sensitive skin – and we always recommend patch testing
NOT for pregnant mamas-to-be – using high amounts of salicylic acid is not recommended during pregnancy
NOT for those on high-levels of medicated drugs prescribed by a dermatologist – speak to your dermatologist if you wish to use salicylic acid alongside your regime

Nerdie tip: Use Sally as a wash-off spot-zapper or as a micro-mask. If you’re oily-skinned or prone to any form of congestion anywhere, whether it be blackheads of keratosis pilaris (chicken skin), Sally is your new best friend.
