What Nykaa E retail limited Says
Product Description:
Specially formulated for acne-prone skin, the Anti-Acne Face Wash from Bombay Shaving Company contains salicylic acid and acai berry extracts that penetrate deep into the pores to unclog them. It prevents oil buildup on your face and fights against pimples, acne, blackheads, and whiteheads. Formulated for oily, acne-prone skin types: It fights acne and related issues effectively by exfoliating the topmost layer and unclogging the pores. Contains salicylic acid, acai berry and pentavitins: Salicylic acid has anti-inflammatory properties and reduces skin flare-ups; acai berry removes free radicals and rejuvenates damaged skin cells; pentavitins strengthens the skinโs natural barrier. Helps remove blackheads and whiteheads: It helps remove blackheads and whiteheads by breaking down the materials that clog pores, including excess oil and dead skin cells. In the process, it also safeguards against acne eruptions and soothes the skin. Reduces acne scars and blemishes: Regular use of this anti-acne face wash breaks down the outer layer of the skin, and as the new skin cells take over, dark spots and blemishes appear to fade out and reduce scars caused by acne. Safe to use: This product is dermatologically tested. No harmful parabens: Itโs a holistic formulation that contains no parabens or mineral oils that cause inflammation on the 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.
