About Salicylic Acid Products
Salicylic acid is the go-to ingredient for clear, fresh-looking skin. It's oil-soluble, so it travels inside your pores where oil and dead skin collect, and keeps them clear from within.
This Dermasation collection brings together our salicylic acid skincare and the products that pair best with it, with cash on delivery to Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad and every other city in Pakistan.
What Is Salicylic Acid?
Salicylic acid is a BHA (beta hydroxy acid). Unlike most exfoliants, which work only on the surface, it dissolves into oil. That lets it reach inside pores to loosen the oil and dead skin that cause blackheads and clogs.

Why 2% Salicylic Acid?
2% is the standard strength for salicylic acid in skin care. It's strong enough to clear pores and gentle enough for daily use once your skin adjusts. In a face wash, it works during cleansing and then rinses away, which keeps it comfortable even for regular use.
