A beta hydroxy acid works on the uppermost skin layers and within pores as an exfoliant and anti-inflammatory. It is excellent for acne sufferers as it can draw out and remove dead cells and debris from congested skin follicles. It is also oil-loving meaning it is attracted to the oil in the follicle to decongest the pore.
