What Nykaa E retail limited Says
Product Description:
BAKE 2% Salicylic Acid Hydrocolloid Surface XL Acne Patches are formulated for larger areas of concern like cheeks, jawline, or forehead; these extra-large acne patches work overnight to absorb gunk, excess sebum, and impurities. Infused with 2% salicylic acid, they help unclog pores, fight acne-causing bacteria, and reduce inflammation. The hydrocolloid base gently draws out whiteheads and blackheads while protecting the area from dirt and picking. These breathable, non-drying patches also speed up healing and reduce the chance of post-acne marks. Perfect for oily, acne-prone, and combination skin types, they're your go-to solution for emergency breakouts. Just stick, sleep, and wake up to visibly calmer, clearer skin.

Ingredients Details
Salicylic Acid
Common Name(s): Bha,2-hydroxybenzoic acid,orthohydroxybenzoic acid,willow bark acid
CAS Number: 69-72-7
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Salicylic acid exfoliates the skin surface and inside pores, dissolves the 'glue' holding dead skin cells together, reduces sebum production, and combats acne-causing bacteria.
Why It's Used: Its oil solubility makes it uniquely effective at penetrating pores and dissolving sebum plugs โ a function that water-soluble ahas cannot perform. it is the preferred exfoliant for oily, acne-prone, and congested skin.
How It Works: Salicylic acid disrupts desmosomal bonds between corneocytes, promoting exfoliation. its oil solubility allows it to penetrate the sebaceous follicle, dissolving sebum and dead cells. it also has anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.
