Revea’s custom topicals are formulated with exfoliating & smoothing salicylic acid. Let’s dive into the science behind this powerful topical ingredient.
What is Salicylic Acid?
A well-known beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) derived from willow bark, salicylic acid, penetrates the pores to chemically exfoliate the skin and aid in the natural shedding process of dead skin cells. Regular usage results in improved skin texture. As an anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant, salicylic acid helps soothe stressed skin, reduce redness, dissipate excess oils, and diminish acne breakouts.
Salicylic Acid for Acne
Upon penetrating the skin, salicylic acid dissolves pore-clogging skin debris and helps visibly diminish red, inflamed pimples. Ideal for treating whiteheads and blackheads, salicylic acid also allows other acne treatment topicals to penetrate the pores more deeply.

At Revea, we formulate our topicals with encapsulated, stabilized salicylic acid which ensures a sustained time release effect. Formulation compatibility is also a critical consideration which is why we use a synthetic and water-soluble version of the ingredient.
