Salicylic Acid 300 [300 mg] - A22

For the entire face: apply 1 to 4 drops to the area affected (1 drop for 1 isolated spot / 4 drops for the entire face).
This pure Active is also suitable for blemishes on the upper back, for example: apply 4 to 6 drops depending on the surface area to be treated.

INITIAL TREATMENT (for isolated spots) : use twice a day for at least 1 week. Continue treatment longer according to the extent of the blemishes. The molecule's activity may cause slight tingling sensations on application. This does not mean that treatment should be stopped.

LONG-TERM TREATMENT (for acne-prone skin) : use morning and night for one week, then once a day at night for 3 months. The molecule's activity may cause slight tingling sensations on application. This does not mean that treatment should be stopped. For sensitive and readily reactive skin, we recommend using Salicylic Acid 70 pure Active, with a weaker concentration.

INTENSIVE TREATMENT combining several pure Actives:
- For spots and acne-prone skin: use Salicylic Acid 300 pure Active and Zinc Gluconate pure Active morning and night. These two pure Actives are complementary and can be applied to the skin at the same time.
- For skin that presents blemishes and a dull complexion: use Salicylic Acid 300 pure Active at night and Propolis pure Active in the morning.

After application, do not expose your skin to the sun. In the event of exposure, use suitable sun protection.

As an ideal complement, we recommend applying a Biomimetic skincare after the pure Active, suited to the nature and day-to-day needs of your skin.
Suggestion for the morning: Balancing matifying care.
Suggestion for the evening: Light moisturizing emulsion.

References and proofs of effectiveness of Salicylic Acid (clinical studies, bibliographies and expert opinions)

Salicylic Acid is a natural molecule which was first found in white willow and later in large quantities in meadowsweet, Spiraea ulmaria, which gave its name to Aspirin.

The medicinal properties of Salicylic Acid have been known for a long time, especially for their effect against fever and pain.

In Antiquity, Greek doctors would recommend infusions based on willow leaves to relieve pain.

To combat fever, its synthetic form (acetylsalicylic acid marketed under the name "Aspirin") is particularly effective to the extent that it has become the bestselling drug in the world (120 billion pills).

Salicylic Acid is universally used in dermatology for its keratolytic effect.

A molecule naturally present in white willow and meadowsweet, Salicylic Acid is now widely manufactured by a process based on biosynthesis.

This is the method used to obtain it selected by ETAT PUR. The producer meets very strict quality standards specific to the pharmaceutical industry.
The active is concentrated and purified until 100% pure Salicylic Acid is obtained.

Opinion of the dermatologist

Salicylic Acid 300 [300] mg - Pure Active A22

Salicylic acid has been known and used in medicine for centuries. In dermatology, it is used for its exfoliating and keratolytic properties. This molecule is therefore interesting if you present with predominantly retentional acne, i.e. if you have few red spots but mainly small cysts or blackheads, making your skin look rough and uneven. By refining the outermost layers of the epidermis, this pure Active will foster the elimination of cysts and limit their formation.

If you also have red spots (mixed acne), you can combine Salicylic acid with Zinc Gluconate pure Active.

This relatively strong concentration ([300]) helps to optimize the molecule's effectiveness but may cause a degree of irritation. So begin with this concentration if you do not have particularly sensitive skin.
