BHA, typically salicylic acid, is an oil-soluble exfoliant that penetrates deep into the pores to clear out excess oil, dead skin cells, and impurities. It’s particularly effective for acne-prone and oily skin types as it helps to reduce breakouts, blackheads, and clogged pores. BHA also has anti-inflammatory properties, helping to calm irritation and redness while promoting a clearer, smoother complexion.
