The three "right" things for acne removal, anti-inflammation and whitening—Nikoo™ AXS supramolecular salicylic acid
Salicylic acid comes from green plants such as willow bark, white birch leaves and sweet birch in nature. It is a β-hydroxy acid and a fat-soluble organic acid. It has similar effects to α-hydroxy acid (fruit acid), but is milder than fruit acid (glycolic acid) and has good fat solubility. SUMER™ AXS supramolecular salicylic acid is a salicylic acid that is encapsulated by a special encapsulation technology to solve the problem of salicylic acid being difficult to disperse in water. The encapsulated salicylic acid has a long-lasting release effect, higher bioavailability, less irritation, wider application, and better use effect;
Skin metabolism
The main function of the stratum corneum is to protect the cells of each layer of the skin. The metabolism of the epidermal cells layer by layer will naturally move outward. After the keratin cells in the outermost layer gradually age and dry up, they will naturally fall off under normal circumstances. Old keratin that is not shed normally will make the skin look rough and dark, slow down the metabolism rate of the skin, and even form acne and block the pores.
Exfoliating effect
Salicylic acid can remove excess stratum corneum and promote rapid renewal of epidermal cells; if the epidermal cells are fresh and full of vitality, the skin will naturally become smooth and delicate.
Shrink pores
Salicylic acid is fat-soluble and can penetrate into the deep layers of the pores along the sebaceous glands that secrete oil, dissolving the old accumulated stratum corneum in the pores and improving the blocked pores. It can therefore block the formation of acne and shrink enlarged pores.
Preventing acne
Salicylic acid acts on the cells of the hair follicle wall, which can help remove blocked hair follicles and correct abnormal cell shedding. It can prevent pore blockage for mild acne and is most effective for blackheads. It can reduce abnormal shedding of the hair follicle wall and prevent the formation of new lesions, but it has no effect on reducing sebum secretion and eliminating acne bacteria. The function of salicylic acid is to clean up aging cuticles to make the skin look more delicate and less prone to acne. Salicylic acid removes cuticles and promotes skin metabolism, which can shrink pores, remove blackheads, and effectively reduce fine lines and wrinkles to restore skin luster.
Acne removal and facial cleansing
Salicylic acid has a small molecular weight and oil-soluble properties, making it extremely easy to penetrate deep into the hair follicles, dissolve blackheads and whiteheads, unclog pores, promote acne maturation, prevent acne growth, and loosen the desmosomes between keratinocytes to promote the metabolism of old and waste keratin.
Soothing and anti-inflammatory
It inhibits the growth of inflammatory factors, has an anti-inflammatory effect, reduces vascular permeability, reduces edema, relieves pain and removes heat.
Antibacterial and antimicrobial
Significantly inhibits the growth of various harmful bacteria on the skin surface (such as Staphylococcus aureus, Gram-positive bacteria), and controls the excessive growth of beneficial bacteria (such as Propionibacterium acnes, Gram-negative bacteria).
Shrink pores
Unblock clogged pores, penetrate into the dermis, promote cell regeneration, and improve collapsed pores.
Skin brightening and rejuvenating
Metabolizes the formed melanin, no photosensitivity and phototoxicity, healthy and gentle.
