Salicylic Acid (also known as beta hydroxy acid or BHA) is one of the most well-known ingredients for treating skin that struggles with blackheads and acne. It helps to exfoliate both the skin's surface and pores, and also acts as an anti-inflammatory agent.
This multitasking property makes it a great ingredient for cleaning out pores, controlling oil production, and reducing inflammation.
Unlike AHAs which are water soluble, Salicylic Acid is oil soluble. This means that it's able to exfoliate the inside of pores and reduce blackheads.

My go to microdart pimple patch
These patches are one of the most effective over the counter products I’ve found to deal with inflamed under the skin blemishes. I’ve found that if I catch an under the skin pimple quick enough I can sometimes tackle it in 2-3 days with these patches, which is so much quicker than if I just let it run its course. I have some pretty stubborn hormonal acne around my chin, and I really don’t know what I would do without these. I’ve tried a couple of other brands microdart patches (Zitsticka and Hero Cosmetics) but the Peach Slices are my preferred pick because of the price and the number of patches you get in a packet. The only reason I would go with something else is if you have a sensitivity to one of the ingredients in the Peach Slices patches (such as tea tree, which the Hero Cosmetic patches do not contain).
I highly recommend these patches for anyone who deals with inflamed and deep acne.
