BHA FOR YOUR SKIN CARE
A key element for clear and healthy skin.
Explore the effects of beta hydroxy acids (BHA), especially salicylic acid, which is known for its deep cleansing properties. BHA penetrates deep into the pores, unclogs and effectively fights blemishes, making it an essential part of the skincare routine for acne-prone skin.
The most important facts in brief
- Effective deep cleansing: Salicylic acid, which is also contained in our Glycolic Night Booster , penetrates the pores, loosens blockages and actively combats skin impurities.
- Soothing and anti-inflammatory properties: Reduces redness and swelling and is helpful for inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis.
- Promotes skin renewal: Accelerates the natural exfoliation of dead skin cells, improves skin texture and has an antimicrobial effect against microorganisms that cause skin problems.
What is BHA?
Beta-hydroxy acids are oil-soluble acids that are mainly extracted from willow bark. Salicylic acid, the most prominent BHA, is characterized by its ability to penetrate deep into the pores and effectively cleanse them from the inside. These properties make it an ideal active ingredient for the treatment of skin problems such as acne and cornification disorders.
How BHA works on the skin
The effect of salicylic acid on the skin is comprehensive and multi-layered:
Deep cleansing of the pores: Salicylic acid penetrates the pores and dissolves sebum deposits and skin flakes that can lead to acne.
Keratolytic effect: Creams with salicylic acid promote the exfoliation of dead skin cells by dissolving the connections between the cells, which enables a gentler and more tolerable exfoliation than AHA.
Soothing and anti-inflammatory: Its anti-inflammatory properties help to relieve redness and swelling, which is particularly useful for inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis.
Regulation of skin renewal: Accelerated cell desquamation stimulates the skin to renew itself more quickly, improving the overall appearance of the skin.
Antimicrobial effects: Salicylic acid also has an analgesic and growth-inhibiting effect on certain bacteria and fungi that can cause skin problems.

The correct use of BHA
For effective use of BHA in your skincare routine, please note the following:
Choose a product with the right concentration: our BHA product with 2% salicylic acid is ideal for daily use.
Application in the evening: Similar to AHA, BHA can make the skin more sensitive to light. We recommend using products containing BHA in the evening.
Combination with sunscreen: It is essential to use a sunscreen during the day to protect the skin from UV radiation, especially after using BHA products.
Regular use: Continuous use of BHA is important for maintaining skin cleanliness and minimizing blemishes.
FAQ - BHA for skin care
Salicylic acid is particularly effective for oily and acne-prone skin. However, people with very dry or sensitive skin should use lower concentrations or carry out a skin tolerance test before use.
While BHA is generally well tolerated, some people may experience dry skin or mild irritation, especially at the beginning of application. It is advisable to adjust the frequency of application if such reactions occur.
The frequency of use may vary depending on skin tolerance. For most people, daily use of BHA products is safe and effective, especially for oily and acne-prone skin.
