Products with Salicylic Acid
Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid that is oil-soluble, which is what allows it to work inside the pore rather than only on the surface.

The Only Common Acid That Gets Into the Pore
Alpha hydroxy acids are water-soluble and work across the skin's surface. Salicylic acid is lipid-soluble, so it can move through sebum and act within the follicle itself — the reason it dominates products aimed at congestion, blackheads, and the look of enlarged pores. It is also structurally related to aspirin, and formulas built around it tend to read as calming rather than aggravating on oily, congested skin.
Products here include the Obagi CLENZIderm Daily Care Foam Cleanser, Obagi CLENZIderm Pore Therapy, Revision Skincare Pore Purifying Clay Mask, and Revision Skincare Purifying Cleansing Gel. Obagi's CLENZIderm range is the most salicylic-focused line we carry.
How often should salicylic acid be used?
In a rinse-off cleanser most people tolerate it daily; in a leave-on toner or serum, every other day is a sensible starting cadence.
