Salicylic acid , USP-BP , 500gm

Salicylic acid is a keratolytic, which means it helps to dissolve the dead skin cells that can clog pores and lead to acne. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce redness and swelling.

Salicylic acid is generally safe for most people when used as directed. However, it can cause some side effects, such as dryness, redness, and peeling. It can also irritate the eyes and mucous membranes.

If you have sensitive skin, it is important to start with a low concentration of salicylic acid and gradually increase the concentration as your skin adjusts. You should also avoid using salicylic acid products if you have open cuts or wounds.
