Beta Hydroxy Acids are organic compounds with a particular molecular structure that contributes to its chemical exfoliation strength. Its oil-soluble property creates a natural affinity with human skin oils (sebum), allowing for better assimilation into clogged and excessively oily skin pores.

Salicylic acid is a biosynthesized beta hydroxy acid that works as an epidermal exfoliating, bacteria inhibiting, and pimple reducing agent. By causing the cells of the epidermis to shed more readily, it opens clogged pores and neutralizing bacteria within. This helps prevent pores from clogging up again by constricting pore diameter, and allowing room for new cell growth.

Usually, exfoliating agents can leave the skin dry, exposed and sensitive, so we’ve added a nourishing Chondrus Crispus (Seaweed) Extract to the lotion. Derived from red sea algae, its elemental composition provides wholesome moisturizing and protective qualities. This natural ingredient delivers restorative moisturization to the skin. It also improves the natural skin barrier to lock in moisture and help protect the skin from environmental exposure.

Formulated as a comfortable and blanketing lotion, Aesthetic Science’s Blemish & Oil Control Serum can be applied and left on the skin all day long to improve pore penetration and degree of exfoliation.

A quick and easy application lets the beta hydroxy acid work its oil neutralizing benefits while the seaweed extract restores hydration and improves the protective layer. This results in a more balanced complexion and revitalized, skin clearing process.
